I recently read J.R.R. Tolkin's Lord of the Rings series.  Although I enjoyed the movie, the book is in a class of its own!  Here are some of my newest drawings of scenes from Lord of the Rings.
In the movie, Arwen rode Asfaloth instead of Glorifindel After Gandalf rides Shadowfax in Fellowship of the Ring, Shadowfax won't let any other man near him
This is Asfaloth, Glorifindel's majestic steed.  Asfaloth saves Frodo's life in Fellowship of the Ring
Gandalf the Grey rides on his fine horse of Rohan, Shadowfax.  Shadowfax is said to be the finest horse in Middle Earth.
The nine Ringwraiths were once men, but turned evil by the Rings
Gimli was convienently gone when this scene occured (actually, I didn't want to draw another rider)
A fearsome Ringwraith rides his black horse Aragorn rides Hasufel just ahead of Legolas aboard Arod
too bad I didn't draw the back horse in a different color; it looks like a many-legged animal! Not a bad person; I'm better at horses, I'm afraid!
The noble Rohirrim ride, with flag and bugle in tow!
A Rider of Rohan stands reagally, perhaps viewing his realm
I wouldn't want to be atop this pony!

A hobbit, maybe Merry or Pippin, gets a little carried away on a hobbit pony!
