Mosaic : The Hobbit, there and back again

Recommended Posts

For the Fana'briques 2013 show, I have designed a 294 x 96 mosaic based on the Hobbit movie :

mosaic_the_hobbit.JPG

It uses 3 colours (black, dark grey and light grey) on white 48x48 baseplates.

The building has been done in one day helped by a couple of friends (Sandra and Sébastien B.), my son Alexandre and my wife Clara : SCASD.

Enjoy.

That's a really big mosaic. :look::thumbup: Loving the picture you chose. It looks so clean in black and white, but nonetheless brilliant. Great work.

Well, the sub-title is actually the book's subtitle, which encompasses all three movies, so it's okay, I guess. And what do you mena by ''a lot of Gimlis''? I think it's pretty clear that the figures represent Gandlas + 13 dwarfs + a hobbit...

On-topic, DanSto, awesome mosaic :thumbup:

The photo is using a lot of sllhouettes of gimli, its not official art for the movie, its a fan compilated picture to mimic what they did for LOTR. http://hopewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lord-of-the-rings-fellowship-of-the-ring-the-silhouettes.jpg

Well, my mosaic is directly inspired by this picture :

I removed the backgound mountain and changed the position of the words. For me, "There and Back again" describes the whole story :wink: .

That's true, but it doesn't mean he did anything wrong... IMO, the silhouettes were photographed/manipulated well enough that it's obvious these are different dwarfs...

This. :classic:

Yes, one exhibitor took these helmets with him and they found a nice place under the mosaic.

That's really cool. I love seeing mosaics. I wish I had the time (and pieces) and talent to accomplish one. This looks almost identical to the source picture, so job well done there.
