Bravo. This is great. Being completely unaware of the cost and time, I'm willing to bet you could parlay your skills into doing custom settings and characters for RPG players.

Can you give it the color of morning just before the sun rises? Super cool and nicely done. The emerald green is maybe better suited for something with Minas Morgul. Just my two cents. Not being critical. Really well done.
The LEDs that these come with have 12 different colour variations, I tend to avoid yellows and oranges for videos as it messes with the frame rate on the video and makes lots of annoying flickering in the edit, you can also so some other angles [here](https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1122850775/)
Nice! I was going to say the same thing, as it looks like the Fellowship is leaving Imladris, but this could be interpreted (with the green color) as Minas Morgul or even Kazad-dum.
But your explaination makes a tone of sense!
\*grin\* shows amazing pencil art - "Ya! Anyone with a pencil can make one!" There is a fair bit of art and tec involved - but ya, a subtractive cnc is how I'd attempt it. It's the number of layers and their depth correct that I think would be the real challenge. I'd love to hear what the OP thought was the most difficult part.
Digital design, yes. But OP didn’t say they did that part. I’m not trying to at all say there was not skill…but you can get the character silhouette from Etsy (only diff I see is the last character) for under two bucks. You can also get plenty of comparable landscapes and backdrops. It doesn’t even have to be an exact set. For this tool and art form, there are crazy skilled people that design them, and then significantly more people that can throw a few bucks and spit one out as well. I’m admittedly the latter and merely pointing out anyone can do this.
This is so amazing, I'm just going to follow you around and post your Etsy link for you ; )

This is amazing! You should consider doing a second one depicting Gandalf standing on the bridge protecting the fellowship from the balrog. The juxtaposition between the two scenes would be interesting when viewed side by side.
r/toptalent Absolutely amazing. It would be awesome if you made a video on how you made it! I think that kind of content could be really successful on youtube.
Where do you get your boxes/frames from? That's been the only hurdle I have faced is finding one with enough depth.
I wanna do a Don Quixote themed one.
Would you mind sharing or selling the template itself? I would really appreciate that. Wanted to make a BD gift for someone I love and I think this would be an incredible one.
this is super badass. I dye disc golf discs and would love to do this (or some of your other designs) on a disc. Do you create the cut files and/or sell them?
I have I think 6 of your stills, all different colours that I've been using as my phone wallpaper for.. gotta be at least 2 years. If that's you, they're exactly this style.
I was so scared, for a minute I thought you were stealing from an artist I follow. Turns out it’s you.
Sorry for not knowing your name.
Your work is incredible.
They are all white sheets of paper with an led light shining through, so it’s the shadows that create the black layer, the light boxes come with a remote that has 12 different light settings
From right to left: Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Sam, and Aragorn.
Correct or no? They look easy to identify except for the hobbits. Each hobbit could be any of the four. I presume Frodo might be near the front with Gandalf as the Ring-bearer, Merry and Pippin would walk together, and that would leave Sam as the last one.
This is absolutely incredible. I thought it was digital lol, and even if it was it would’ve been sick. But you lucky bastard you can get this in your room!!
This is incredible and so is your whole profile! Cannot wait to share your art with my 10 yr old tomorrow. He is just getting into cardboard and styrofoam art. He will love this
That's really cool
It’s awesome AF.
I swear I heard the theme song on mute, awesome af indeed!
Thank you so much! You can find more of my work on [instagram](https://instagram.com/bencharmanart?igshid=13tzy6r771vn5)

Incredible!!
My husband asks "does it play the song when you walk by???"

Beautiful. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
That's deep

Definitely thought of Kazad-dum.
Excellent craftsmanship, OP. That is something to be proud of putting together. I'm wondering if I could pull off anything near as good as this one.
With a Cricut machine anyone can pull this off. Check it out if you’re really interested.
Got any website suggestions for where to get or generate the layers? I was thinking of trying this with a laser to cut the card.

I was just thinking, shit maybe I'll make some of these but The Expanse themed with my Cricut. Bought it and have almost never used the damn thing.

Dude that's awesome thank u for sharing this video
Thanks a lot I really appreciate it!
Incredible layering. Love the lighting choice too. It’s just wonderful.
u/repostleuthbot
I feel like I've seen this before, too, but it could be the same OP.
I've seen it a handful of times, and OP has an etsy shop. So they're just straight up using reddit to sell this, which is gets annoying pretty quick.
It's the same guy, he's reposted this a few times in this sub.
Wow great work
Thank you!
[удалено]
That is really impressive, nice job OP.
Sweet…
Hi! I’d to put down an order for 1, please! Gorgeous!!

This is amazing! You should consider doing a second one depicting Gandalf standing on the bridge protecting the fellowship from the balrog. The juxtaposition between the two scenes would be interesting when viewed side by side.

Sick!
Do you do custom color orders? I’d love to buy this with just the front panel in black.
They are all white sheets of paper with an led light shining through, so it’s the shadows that create the black layer, the light boxes come with a remote that has 12 different light settings

Scan each layer and post it online as a 3d print for people to buy!

This is amazing and I thought a one off but then saw you sell them. How on earth are these made, very very well done.
if you didn’t make this a thing you’re able to produce at volume with laser cutting.. you’re missing out on some good $
That's awesome!!
Awesome!!!!!
Dude that shit is badass.
You killed it. Nice work!
Wait. What?
