Artist's Comments

This gingerbread house is based on Minas Morgul as shown in the Lord of the Rings movies and concept art. It is 100% edible (except for the lights, of course). More description and process pictures at my journal.

Edit: now that I'm awake, more information:
Thanks to Moraya for some wonderful screencaps of the movie: [link] [link]
I also used images of the Minas Morgul environment from Sideshow/Weta Collectibles: [link]
And concept art from the book "The Art of the Return of the King."

Edit 2: Now that the contest is long over, I've edited the image. Basically I cut out the background of my living room and ugly tablecloth. Next time, I've got to remember to photograph on a light colored background. Oh well.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! The lights are LED christmas lights, so they don't get hot and melt the house.
Thanks! I wish everyone could come and help me eat it!
It's almost too good to eat. :D I know what you mean though. I haven't done anything fancy but I did make a house this year myself. Last year I solved the problem of having to eat it by accidentally burning it down. -_-

Nothing is impossible.
LED lights - Good idea!
I have to remember that for next year... If only I could make toast without causing small fires.
Wonderful job!

You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
