Video Of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Smaug Motion Capture

This uncut video Of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Smaug motion capture is awesome. It isn’t as easy as it seems to basically lie down and act evil when nothing is in front of you. Once you see him do his thing you may never look at Smaug or Benedict Cumberbatch in the same way.

Keep in mind that he is giving it his all, using his body and face masterfully. It’s hilarious, but it also shows what an amazing actor he is. There are probably only a few people in the world who could make a convincing dragon.

Lord Of The Rings Characters As Tarot Cards

DeviantArt user SceithAilm has illustrated a series of stunning tarot cards depicting different characters from the Lord of the Rings. Gandalf, Aragorn, Arwin, Sam, Pip, and Merry are all here, along with others, all on tarot cards that match their personalities.

I love the style. These are just gorgeous. These characters fit perfectly in a tarot card deck and they capture the spirit of the book perfectly. I think that the illustrator intends to continue adding more characters over time and I am looking forward to seeing all of them as they arrive.
