The Hobbit - Icons from New Banners

[phyncke]

I made some Hobbit icons from the new banners they posted today. Different plays on light and a desaturated exposure. Enjoy!

Samples:




Thorin:



Thranduil:



Bard the Bowman:



Bilbo:



Gandalf:



Legolas:



Tauriel:




I made an icon of Tauriel because as a fanfic writer - I write OC's all the time. Her inclusion in the film does not bother me that much. I think she makes a beautiful elf and look forward to seeing her in the next film. I am more curious than anything about how that will be.

Cheers. Comment to let me know you took something. Credit not required but appreciated.

Oh, WOW! These are amazing, Janie. I know I want one of each, but not sure what color in each one.

Thank you!

Took Thranduil icon.
Thanks!

She doesn't bother me either. I loved her as Kate from Lost.

Excellent job, Jane - saved my favorite one of each. thank you doing these!

These are really good, Jane, and I like having the black and white option too. I took Bilbo and Legolas - the third version of each. I'm not sure I'll use them, but you never know *g*.

I just hope the second movie doesn't disappoint.

Love these - thank you so much! I was greedy and nabbed one of each.

*hugs*

Edit: I meant one of each character, not one of each icon :P

Nice icons!

Tauriel doesn't bother me either - the first film was fanfic so it makes sense that another OC will be brought in.

How exciting to see all the new pictures and preview trailers for DOSmaug. These icons are lovely, my dear. It's great to see some new elf art generated too.

I think lots of folk are excited to see this new character Tauriel. Although there didn't seem a lot of new fanfiction from the first Hobbit film (though I was only looking on LJ) there seems to be far more excitement about this one.

The cynic in me feels that they've revived a role for Legolas and created him a Disney style feisty female elf who doesn't do as she's told, to bring back the sort of fan attention Legolas generated in LOTR. I don't know the box office figures for the Hobbit film, but if the profits were flagging that is exactly what I would do to raise the odds.
Thranduil has a bigger part too, so I'm thrilled about that. Lee Pace looks amazing. So I really can't moan. Roll on December.
