Literally Iconic

True Tolkien aficionados and art historians will find much to be annoyed about. But Στέλιος Καρέλλας on FB had AI render scenes from Lord the Rings as Byzantine mosaics, and I think it's glorious. 

1. Gandalf VS Balrog

I can capture the sound, especially the voices in my imagination better than this type of representation does.  But I can't hold a candle to the mythic quality of this.

  1. That's quite something. What is the language?

  2. Good question! I don't know if it a different script of a Tolkien-created language, an actual language, or merely evocative.
