For thousands of dedicated fans, Lord of the Rings has always been somewhat of a religious experience, and thanks to Jian Guo we now have a trove of bright and beautiful images to inspire our veneration. Behold the beauty that has graced Reddit, Tumblr, and yea, the entire internet these past few days:
You can see why everyone’s been oohing and ahhing over this high fan art, and even discussing whether they could be recreated in stained glass. As it turns out, Mr. Guo has immortalized other fandoms (including The Avengers) in this distinctive stained-glass-inspired style, too; you can see more of his work on his deviantART page.

From time out of mind, Oloriel has been typing away in her little apartment, cats at her feet, hoping to reach out to other fantasy lovers by way of folkandfairy.com. Her discovery of Tolkien as a young adult awakened her long-dormant love of the otherworldly, and now she sees magic everywhere.
Oloriel has a degree in writing, which she put to work during a three-year stint in vanity publishing – an experience not unlike purgatory and very much like having to read 20 bad books each week – which she prefers not to talk about. To renew herself, she knits, naps, reads, prays, writes, walks in the woods, and eats too many cookies.
