It's my first ever The Lord of the Rings fanart! I am currently reading the books for the first time in english (my native language is french). And it's actually even my first book in english!
I enjoy it a lot, I'd love to wander in middle earth just for the landscape and curious peoples living in it. When reading the black gates description, I viewed it huge and long, like a mile width. So I draw it! Other depictions that I see online make the wall at a human scale. I love to imagine it oversized. Also, it makes approaching it very dangerous, you'll be spotted instantly..
Well, if I read something else inspiring I'll maybe draw another fanart, we'll see!
