Oh! Almost forgot, the red light is an LED flashlight to mimic firelight.

This is a Sideshow Toys 12" figure.
I did some work on the clothing to make it a bit more detailed/realistic/accurate to the Strider in the Fellowship film.
A little trick lighting helped make this figure come off looking like a person. I used parking lot lighting with a simple forest behind.
I love how it gets that reaction. I'm glad you like it. Thank you!

Awesome work. I was going to say "The sword looks a bit off for Anduril," then I remembered this is Strider, and he wouldn't have Anduril yet

Cool!!! The lighting on this is really great, incredible detail. How big is the actual figurine?

EthalenSkye In reply to johannachambers [2008-01-12 04:45:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Johanna! The lighting was from parking lot lights and my little LED red flashlight!
These are 12" figures from Sideshow Collectibles. I did some touch up work - mostly on Aragorn.

That's so funny when something that low tech turns out so good! Really neat figurines, too.

EthalenSkye In reply to Syaiku [2008-01-12 04:53:06 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The hardest thing about this shoot was actually holding the camera still. No flash, low light from the parking lot, and my shaking hand made for the biggest challenge. These guys were great models! Held these poses without moving once!
