This didn't evoke middle Earth for me at all, sadly. The architecture style is all wrong.

Wonderful work. Rivendell reminds me of a merovingian palace complex.

Wowowow!

beautiful work and presentation

Playing Elden Ring at the moment and this reminds me of it and Eyre from Song of Ice and Fire Universe

Descriptions should be on actual video as they disrupt the atmosphere 5/10

What's the music? I love it!

I need more of these characters profiles! Seeing them in the style is a blessing. I’m about to draw your version of Goldolin elves. Simple chain mail with Corinthian helmet looks incredibly good. How I imagine the ancient elves looking more classical antiquity.

This is much more like a Hobbit mansion than the film version (which felt more realistic in size actually and had more personality in passage/room layout, if you catch my drift).

This is amazing work, incredible artistry and you have quite the eye for it! And I can tell hours and hours of work went into this. I have always wanted to see renderings of what these legendary places in middle earth might have looked like!! I hesitate to critique because this video existing is a very great desire of mine since I was a child, but if I could offer one piece of humble feedback: your rendered tree statues are beautiful indeed! But the passages in the story mean for them to be engravings on the sphere and pyramid, not standing above them. But! As an artist if you want to count it as your liberty, feel free as they are gorgeous! Seriously, i love everything you have done and are doing here and i will wait as long as i must to see more amazing things here!! Edit: I was mistaken, see replies to this comment. I believe PlacesofMiddleEarth made the correct choice for the design of those trees!

This is beautifully visualised. Always wanted to see more of the First Age Beleriand, and places like Gondolin, Nargothrond, and Doriath

Very nice! The music really added to the build up

The Elf-gates.

Thank you for doing these things needful videos. It really helps me visualize things.

Cool video! New subscriber!

Bro I just read about these gates today in Unfinished tales! The wooden, the stone, the bronze, the iron, the silver, the gold, and the steel gates, all spectacular!

This was beautiful to watch. Thank you.

This literally made me cry. You and “Unity 5 Games” are doing the lords work. Please for the lives of the gods neither of you two stop. I don’t know why but this style of 3-D just helps paint the worlds more real. Like legit places maybe because it reminds me of old 3-D videos on Rome?

😍

The music is very nice too.

What you just created is an Art, and I love it so much! I wonder if we will see the city of Gondolin in your next video. Plus, Osgoliath during its height or Pelargir can be a good candidate for your content.

Great reconstruction. Unfortunately Fonstad made mistake with the entrance to Bag End. The entrance should be perpendicular and not parallel to the hillside.

I love this. I did wonder where Gondolin was though, cuz there was no city beyond the Gate of Steel xD

I listened to this chapter from the unfinished tales last night I had difficulty sleeping & I listened intently to the narration & I imagined each scene as I passed through each gate my image was a bit darker but you got the shear steepness of the mountains either side just how I’d imagined it

This is truly a labor of love, and your care shows throughout. Thank you for your insight and artistry!

This feels beautifully bittersweet.

Gondolin spent a lot of effort building gates. But Morgoth attacked from the north so the gates were useless.😂

My favorite location in the Silmarillion has always been Gondolin. The Gates are an appetizer for the feast that is the City itself. Thank you for you effort and I look forward to seeing more of your renderings.

*One does not simply walk into Gondolin.*

9:05 I don't think it's meant to be a full coverage battle helmet, more of a stylised one with a crown motif

locations are created much better than in the movies. It would be great to create a real landscape park "Middle Earth". Where tourists would travel, swim in boats and take part in battle re-enactments. And all this is not expensive at all - only 20 billion dollars (if you use the labor of immigrants)

This was very enjoyable to watch.

Thank you! its just like i remembered

Amazingly beautiful video!!!!

Absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing.

Morgoth just flying his army over the mountains and avoiding these gates has major Blitzkrieg through Belgium avoiding the maginot line vibes.

Love your work. Keep it up.

Splendid.

Nice video. I was always disappointed with Turgon and his paltry artsy walls. His idea of art in fortificartion was a luxury belief the Noldor could ill afford. He had the finest natural fortress yet did not augment it with proper defences, excepting the near invisible outmost door. Once that door was found Morgoth's armies were able to overwhelm all seven gates in a single surprise attack so that no news of the assault reached the city and Turgon woke to find Gondolin under siege. If they had made seven gates all tall, strong, heavily fortified and close together with swift messengers, then the siege may have lasted longer and the secret exists used to better effect.

I've just watched all of your posts! We're in the midst of a snowstorm so it was a great way of passing the time. At first I balked at bit at how much smaller and simpler these structures are that you've created compared to the baroque and billowing stuff Jackson came up with - but then, I realized you have followed the books. And the results fascinate me. The towers in many of your posts, like this one, make me remember some eastern European castles and fortified monasteries I've seen, especially in western Ukraine. And then it dawned on me that these are 'northern' locations in Middle Earth - so no pavillions open to the elements, gauzy little bridges with no handrails and bedrooms that open to to wide balconies with no doors to close when it's cold. It's simpler, and more 'human-scale'. Well done!

Your beautiful works of art make me a better man.

Very beautifully made. I love how you included concepts for the appearance of each guard post. The only criticism I have is the width of the valleys/avenues between gates. The vale of Tumladen wouldn't have remained the hidden for long with such conspicuously large pathways through the mountains! I've always imagined it more like doors carved in stone, as in the western entrance to Moria. But your interpretation is lovely regardless.

The way you capture the scale of the mountains makes this breathtaking! Beautifully done!

Truly wonderous were the creations of the Elves. You captured the ambience and sense of wonder wonderfully.

All these gates and Morgoth thinks, naa ill attack them in the rear!

5th gate best gate

Now the city of Gondolin please

Great job , its incredible !

Amazing channel
