The Evolution of Thorin Oakenshield
Check out the evolution of Thorin Oakenshield and other character designs in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles: Art & Design. The book is packed with more than 1,000 images of concept artwork, photographs and development paintings by the artists working behind the scenes to bring Middle-earth to life. Complied by Weta Workshop senior concept designer Daniel Falconer, this is the first in a series of hardcover books written and designed by the award-winning team at Weta.

wow first comment!!! I’m actually getting the book this afternoon!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!
I have read the book. It Would be the BEST you EVER have read.:-)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW so want that to add to my collection of Hobbit/Lord of the Rings stuff
dito.
Such a wonderful portrayal of his character. Can’t wait till the next installment… Why must it be so far away?!
I got the book a while ago, and have read it 5 or 6 times over! I must say, best concept art book EVER!!! I’m an artist myself and use it as reference to many of my paintings… Amazing!!!!
Great Story !
great pic ….
Brilliant movie so far. You can tell there was a large amount of hard work put in this film. Great job!!!
I have read all 4 books many times. A wonderful story. I believe Tolkien made one glaring mistake. Thorin should not have died. The line of Durin is ended with the deaths of Thorin and his nephews. That means evil triumpls over good. That is a bad message. I thought the movie was amazing. Peter Jackson used artistic license in LOTR by leaving out the scouring of the Shire. (My favorite part). I hope he uses artistic license now by letting Thorin live.
I totally agree with you. Thorin can’t die, the ending of the movie will be too disappointing. He is such a lovable character.
I think thorin looks to young. In the book he is a old dwarf with white beard.
Will there be an extended version of the hobbit?
People, go and vote for Bilbo at the MTV Movie Awards!!!!!
We can’t let the Twilight girl beat Bilbo Baggins!!!
