This is going to be a Fan Animated video, and it’s probably going to be one of my most complex projects yet. I had to simplify the armor designs for me to easily animate the characters, especially drawing Morgoth’s armor frame by frame. Hope you guys like the first looks.

How do we pay to have it set to the Blind Guardian song about it

Please tell me it's for When Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) by Blind Guardian


Couckie

Y’all get it. This is what must be done.


histprofdave

That's super sick, love it!


telking777

Where we can check it out when you’ve finished it??

Praise our king


Silly-Equivalent-164

Ohhhhh blind guardian, now I need to listen to that song!

YOUUUUUUU COWARD, now it's me or you

And. Morgoth. Came.


whatishistory518

Genuinely one of the greatest paragraphs ever written in literary history. “Then Fingolfin beheld the utter ruin of Noldor and defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-Nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Orome himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband’s gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.” Chills everytime


NLThomas1

Tolkien's writing always manages to give me chills. Such a epic story.


TomWolfeRock

Is this the Silmarillion? Man I’m missing out on extended Tolkien lore. Have read LotR a dozen times. The Hobbit once. And that’s it


Bowdensaft

The Sil isn't an easy read, but almost always worth the effort. The writing and the lore is second to none.


newfflews

It’s worth it for the world backstory alone!


WhileGoWonder

I'm sorry for laughing, my mind is in the gutter


GulianoBanano

He did what now?


KnYchan2

And Fingolfin drowned.


Historical-Fan7987

The King who Wound the Devil. chills. EVERYWHERE. E V E R Y W H E R E. amazing job bro 🥺🖤


Beren94

Awesome! Do you plan on including Fingolfin's charge to Angband? Or are you starting with Morgoth coming out of the gates?


ksv_112

- Dagor Bragollach aftermath (dead elves, Aegnor and Angrod’s corpses, dead orcs, burning banner of the Noldor) - Fingolfin will have his Arthas Menethil moment from the Lich King trailer - he will ride to Angband for sure like you said. - Oromë will make a cameo


tweetegirl

DO IT! DOOOOOO IT!!!!!


CourtofTalons

Aw man, I can't wait!


maxn2107

Please keep us updated. I’m looking forward to this visualization.


pek217

Awesome work! Cool designs, too!


irime2023

Great work. How epic the hero swings his sword.


CarbonYoda

Beautiful. Can’t wait!


WorthCompoten

Incredible work on showcasing this legendary duel.


bosslollo

When you will finish, where will you put the entire animation? Since I read the Silmarillion, I hoped for ages that someone would make an animation about this fight.


ksv_112

YouTube for sure. I’ve been doing lots of Superman related content, never getting a chance to do things I really like to show (fantasy/LotR), due to algorithm. As for when I’ll finish? Idk. Hopefully before the year ends.


bosslollo

Thank you. Good luck with your youtube channel


VonD0OM

Looks great so far. Will Morgoth get his mighty hammer and massive shield and end up growing in size, or we thinking some artistic liberties? I’m good either way, just curious. Looking forward to seeing the final product!


greenblood123

This is cinema. You’re doing gods work boi.


M4t1rlz

Anyone remember what was the name of fingolfin sword?


irime2023

Ringil


Bowdensaft

This looks incredible!!!


Recipe-Jaded

awesome!


QuickSpore

Looks great. But… personal gripe coming… no one ever gets elf armor right. Every description Tolkien gives of elf armor calls it mail; what we today call “chain mail.” This includes Fingolfin’s “*mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was set with crystals;*” But everyone puts elves in plate armor, or if they follow the movies stylized banded armor.


Kurai_Cross

That's because it just looks cooler visually


CykaBlyat_69420

Most people rejected His message. They rejected u/QuickSpore because He told them the truth.


brohamianrhapsody

Myth vibes


StrawberryOne1203

A MA ZING!!!!


WittyTable4731

How progress so far?


ksv_112

Not much yet. 5% so far. I’m gonna reuse some of the old scenes I made a year ago (Aegnor and Angrod’s corpses, Dead Noldorin soldiers, and burning banner of the Noldor). its very challenging for me because I usually do Superhero content


WittyTable4731

I wish you the best of luck to animate one of the greatest scene in the legendarium


ksv_112

Thanks man 🙏 No one’s animated it after doing some research on YT, not counting simulations and narratives. I hope to be the first one to pull it off. Ill need time becside I wish it to be as accurate as possible with some of my elements


Parking-Theory2699

Do it Just do it


kylenator14

LFG! I LOVE FINGOLFIN!!!


WalenBlekitny999

We will watch your career with great interest


VolcanoMoon

This is the best LotR content I've seen in a long time.


CaptianCanuck

I really hope Fingolfin wins


TheKragle03

love it


theven

Really pumped to see the final product! Good work so far!


TheChronicNomad

Dude this is incredible. I can’t wait to see your finished work!


Frosenborg

Looks great!


CalamitousIntentions

Maia will see this and just go “hell yeah.”


ZDarkDragon

I'll be waiting for it, already subscribed to your channel.


ZeraskGuilda

Yo, holy shit. Where will I be able to watch this when it's ready? And do you have more?


[deleted]

Holy fuck I think I just fell in love I have been dreaming of a Silmarilion anime, and you have given me a glimpse of it, if you were gay and here I'd kiss you.


ksv_112

Fire and Blood to you, Mellon nin


[deleted]

I don't get it, are you flattered or are you annoyed?


Necessary-Elephant82

I know i have no right to ask you to change your Fabolous piece of wonderful art.. but did you decide for Morgoth not having his huge black tower shield for reasons? Just curious, no offense cause even that short video is already incredible.. Love to see the result, may the Valar protect you!


ksv_112

Morgoth will have his shield in the final product for sure 👍 but I guess I’ll have it spawned out of nowhere (probably gonna be an intentional animation mistake due to what’s been done already)


Walford-Fuckbuckle

Looking forward to it


Loorrac

This is sick


CHYMERYX

Whoaaa


PM_Me_Your_Java_HW

This is super nitpicky but I feel as though Morgoth isn't as tall as he should be. It's possible that zooming in and panning up slower on the Morgoth reveal would lend more gravity to his size? He seems like an 8-9 foot tall human here.


ksv_112

He’ll be bigger than Sauron for sure. I’m making sure of that actually


Caglar_composes

Veeeery much looking forward to it. Is BG involved by any chance?


NKalganov

No more words, I subscribe for more


dogsonbubnutt

this looks cool but uhhh what the hell is going on with fingolfins arm there


Unholy_Maw

Amazing


Fine_Age4073

I literally just read this chapter about an hour ago before seeing this


Skolary

**Ungoliant VS Melkor** Could have a whole build up to it. Hell, a whole series even. With the pinnacle being the culling of the Balrog’s to Melkor’s aide. *(Or this instance in particular, being the short kind of like in which we have here)* I would personally **love** having an evil vs. evil aspect from LotR, put into an animation at least. This battle in particular A show where we see two forces, none of them the good guys, being the primary characters. That’s it. No story with some message of how, against all odds, the good guys make this epic come back. Just pure: this is, what it is. *(will never happen. But a man-child can dream)*


Thathistoryguy123

Aren’t you that guy who white washed the elf from rings of power
