There’s a particular scene I’ve always loved in Peter Jackson’s LOTR: The Fellowship of the Rings where one of the Black Riders is beautifully lit by what one can assume to be moonlight. When I was commissioned to do a Ring Wraith, that shot immediately came into my head.
It also gave me a chance to draw some mushrooms in the foreground, as a nod to both the movie and the book.
