Incredible Fan Art Combines Skyrim and Lord of the Rings
Ever since releasing over a decade ago, Skyrim has remained one of the most well-known fantasy games on the market. Taking place in the northernmost province of Tamriel, the story follows the player-controlled character known as Dragonborn as they attempt to save the land from Alduin.
Known as the World Eater, Alduin is a terrifying dragon prophesied to bring ruin to the world. As the most powerful dragon, he is the main antagonist of the game and one of the most notable characters in Skyrim. Recently, one artist decided to make fan art combining Alduin with another formidable fantasy villain.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as elveneye shared a picture that they recently completed. What made this piece of fan art unique was that it was a crossover between the worlds of Skyrim andthe fantasy epic Lord of the Rings. In the stunning image, the artist drew Alduin wrapped around the top of Barad-dur, a giant tower seen in Lord of the Rings.
Perhaps one of the most stunning aspects of the design was the Eye of Sauron atop the tower. Just as Alduin was the most dangerous creature in Skyrim, Sauron was the chief source of evil throughout the Lord of the Rings books. By including these villains in the same picture, elveneye managed to create a truly terrifying image. To finish off the fan art, the artist used dark shades of red to light the tower and the mirky clouds in the background. In addition, they utilized this red lighting to reveal the massive wings of Alduin, helping to show the scale of the dragon.
This breathtaking picture featuring Alduin perched atop of Barad-dur piqued the curiosity of numerous members of the Skyrim community
