The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Season 3: Jumping forward several years from the events of Season 2, Season 3 takes place at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to craft the One Ring that will give him the edge he needs to win the war and conquer all Middle-earth at last.
Explore ILM’s concept art of the giant cave bats from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Episode 6: “Where is He?”, now nominated for a Concept Art Award in the “Live Action Creature Art” category.
“We wanted the blind bats to look semi translucent so that you could see hints of their internal skeleton and organs. Since they had evolved in the complete darkness of the mines we wanted their skin to have a transparency to it like deep sea creatures. In addition to this, we wanted them to be able to close up into their folded wings and hang from the stalactites like they were forming the tip of it.”
- Aaron McBride, Senior Art Director - Industrial Light & Magic
