?Peter Jackson released this first official/decent look at three of the dwarves accompanying Bilbo in The Hobbit. First of all, none of these are played by Being Human‘s Aidan Turner — he’s Kili, and I’m still dying to know what he looks like dwarvified. Second, is anyone else getting a different design vibe from Lord of the Rings here? I like it. The Hobbit always had a much different feel to me than the trilogy; its fantasy was a bit more formal and stylized, I guess, and a little less gritty and epic. At any rate, I feel like these outfits pull that off pretty well. (Via Blastr)
