Gorgeous Thorin-on-throne w. 3D software Zbrush

Zbrush I think is the 3D software - at least one of them - that WETA uses. But OMG.
IMO this is SO badass. Originals:

...dark-haired, sullen-eyed, Orcrist in hand, a prince, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of Middle-earth under his sandaled feet.

I could have sworn you wrote 'Hitler came for Thorin Oakenshield'.
My money's on the sword-wielding Dwarf king.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

E.g., open source and powerful. I downloaded it...but alas, haven't had time to even begin to learn it, and IMO it's not
user-intuitive. But what folks can do...the skin textures in these images and in the Blender tutorials blow me away.
An IT guy told me to try Sketch-Up, which for me might be an easier start.

against panzer tanks, I wonder?
This should go in the arena- Dain's war chariots against panzer tanks! 
My money would be on the dwarf king too. An army of dwarves vs the Third Reich?
Yup, that war would have been a LOT shorter had we had an army of heavily armed and filthy dwarves mustered to answer the threat

Robert E. Howard has his moments, depending on your tolerance for purple prose. He was a natural-born storyteller. Keep in mind that he was also a man of his times raised in Cross Plains, Texas with the prejudices to match.

...to post this brilliant idea: Dain vs. Panzers. My money's on Dain. And while we're at it, let's send him after ISIS too. In fact, if I were running for president, I would borrow my campaign slogan from the great pig-rider himself: "ISIS? Let's give these (beggars) a good hammering!"
