Illustrations for a Chinese Lord of the Rings in Stunning "Glass Painting Style"

Ringer kiwifan sent us this report of these beautiful illustrations for a Chinese version of the Lord of the Rings, they've been done in a gorgeous "glass painting style".
These beautiful book covers are drawn by artist Jian Guo and are part of a competition held by the publisher of the new Chinese text as possible covers for the new books, the lovely, monochromatic illustrations draw on many of the design elements of Tolkien's original paintings for the trilogy's covers, elaborating on the iconic ring and towers with intricate Asian lines and flourishes. You can see The Fellowship of the Ring in green, The Two Towers in red, and The Return of the King in blue.

Does anyone know if these are new editions of the existing Mainland translation (Yilin Press, 2001), or a whole new translation?

I didn't realize these covers were done by breathing2004. I just spent a couple awed hours last week going through those Tolkien-inspired DeviantArt pages of his  !
“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

These covers are beautiful. And I love the 'Gondolin' triptych on his page.

aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."
this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel telpemairo
