Looks gorgeous. This may seem like a dumb question,  but this is inspired by Samwise intimidating some orcs with his shadow, right? 

The question is fine, many people ask about this  Actually it was inspired more by scene with Mushu from Mulan (my fav Disney movie). I saw Olfo (the Hobbit miniature) in my local shop when I was looking for alternative idea for this round entry and then I had idea with the shadow, which reminded me about Mushu scene. Inspiration from Mulan led me to some kind of inspiration from Lord of the Rings (I really like dwarven settlements of all kind, especially from LotR and Dragon Age, so the setting naturally led me to dwarven mine). When I told my best friend about my idea, he remimded me about the scene with Sam So overall, I had in mind LotR, maybe not that particular scene, but in the end it's a tribute to the trilogy and the Hobbit (while working on this diorama I was listening to The Hobbit Main Theme and The Misty Mountains, love that mashup).

Here is the Mushe sene:

I looOOOOoooOOoooove this piece! So cute and sweet

great idea!

Very nice job Painting as always top notch How did you do the spider webs?

very nice concept, great execution. The mirror framing is just perfect Did you use Anonymous 2.0 for this?

For me the scene is easy to read. Painting is cool, scenery is great. I didn't know what is missing here and then I heard an opinion that you could do tire marks on the street or make the scene rainy and add puddles with tire trails leading from them just to add some kind of movement to the miniatures. I wouldn't think about that myself but I think that it's cool way to mark the movement in dioramas (something new I learned in this topic :D).

I'm loving it! Great textures, colors and so so many details ❤️

Looks great! I appreciate your painting skills and everythong, buy my fav thing here is stripped paint on the walls and dirt on the ground Cool effect, contrast nicely with your painting style and blue osl.

i love it. this diorama tells the story. Great job!

Thanks! Didn't had time to paint the mini for my 100% best, but I'm happy how it turned out and that diorama is clear and 'readable'

Great idea and execution!

Looks great! Where did you get that bust?

I usually prefer more contrasted painting schemes but this one is so calm and melancholic, I dig it

what game is this mini?

Yeah... Damn... don't know how you painted that with 5 hours to go... but well done, I'll be off to silver I think! 
Gorgeous as always!

I think that your diorama has better painting And nope, I have no idea how I did that, yesterday I was just sure that I have to make it on time. Overall I regret that I didn't do better pics.

pumpkin spice latte tastes good no matter where its from (even Starbucks)

I've never had one, but know that when I'll taste it for the 1st time I'll be thinking about this diorama
