Post-apocalyptic Bree by octopus_fool
Digital art of a street in post-apocalyptic Bree. The sky is an unsettling shade of red and yellow, the sign of the prancing pony is half torn-off. A shadowy creature with red eyes is peering through the upper window of the Prancing Pony. The shadow and part of a different creature on the street is hinted at.

The apocalypse is upon Bree and Middle-Earth! Strange creatures roam the streets, and a fell light shines on the world. (Art for TRSB 2025) (Warning for some flickering.)
