Tolkien Characters Cosplay Retrospective Gallery
It’s Tolkien Reading Day today, and I finally have a reason to pull together a gallery of photos of cosplay from the various J.R.R. Tolkien works, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Granted, the works based in Middle Earth and that world in general are pretty much the only things produced by Tolkien that anyone knows about. But none of the characters from The Silmarillion or the works finished by Christopher Tolkien such as Beren and Lúthien are in this gallery — in part because I probably wouldn’t recognize them anyway.
While there have been many illustrations of the various characters over many decades, the vast majority of the costumes in these images are based on the characters from the two film trilogies directed by Peter Jackson.
Cosplayers in this gallery include many instances of the amazing Mini Mal Cosplay, Clillith cosplay, lostsanitycosplays, and more.
We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
To view the entire gallery, just click on the image below. If you are pictured in any of our galleries, feel free to download the images and use them non-commercially on social media, with appropriate credit.
If you like our work and want to show your appreciation, feel free to tip us at Ko-fi or become a patron on Patreon.
