MEC Category B: Fimbrethil's Return

~ MEC Category B: Fimbrethil's Return ~

"When Winter comes, and singing ends; when darkness falls at last;

When broken is the barren bough, and light and labour past;

I'll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meet again:

Together we will take the road beneath the bitter rain!

Together we will take the road that leads into the West,

And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

I've always thought that the story of the lost Entwives was a sad tale...

... and I'd like to think that at some point Treebeard and Fimbrethil find each other and live happily ever after.

Here's the whole build:

Thanks for looking! C&C always appreciated. And there's a few more pictures over on flickr,

Very nicely detailed! I like the scene you've created here. Great job!

[Graham Gidman]

Love the idea! Love the execution! Great work!

[deraven]

Very nice! I like those quite a bit more than the official Ent we got from TLG.

I really like the little bit of (non-Ent) greenery as well.

[dagger_of_time]

This is perfect!

[Pate-keetongu]

Really adorable. I like the way you imagined Fimbrethil, and Treebeard's posing is perfect.

[Zerobricks]

Awesome idea. What a romantic scene Love the organic shapes and the effort you put in the surface details.

[Adolfo]

Awesome creation! I liked the idea of talking trees in the scene, that has color and life. Congrats!

The fact that all the Ent wives disappeared was always sad to me as well Very good ent and ent wife design

[Sir Gareth]

Beautiful build, Emma! I absolutely love your Treebeard design, it's very well executed. I also like how you built Fimbrethil and the ways in which her structure contrasts that of Treebeard. Excellent job and best of luck!

[Venunder]

A very well designed Entwife.

It would be nice to think they returned to give Treebeard and the Ents a happy future in our world. Tolkien never explained what had happened to them.

However I always imagined that the Entwives had been captured by Morgoth and twisted into the original Trolls,

which is why Sauron had so many in his army.

[Wat Tambor]

What a nice and unique entry this one is!

I think I have never seen Ent women before but the one you have build looks great.

Treebeard's story that the Ent women disappeared always made me sad but now I am glad to see that they have returned.

Good luck in the contest!

[Wout]

This looks very good.

The scenerybelow their feet is also very nice.

From the thumbnail it looked like they were discodancing.

(I now imagine J.R.R. Tolkien doing a facepalm about my comment. )
