Gollum looks, uhh... different. But I like the city of the Wraiths. It looks truly evil and nasty. I'd give a 4.5, because I don't like the Gollum.
I agree with Pippin about Gollum. To alien looking.
It still warrants a 5 in my book.

Absolutely breathtaking.
In late 1975, the Brothers Hildebrandt brought Tol -
kien's enchanting world to life for me with their 1976
Tolkien Calendar. Though I loved the books before,
nothing was quite the same after seeing their master -
ful renditions of Gollum, Bilbo, Galadriel and others.
To this day, I have never seen a finer treatment of Gol -
lum than the twins' painting in the 1978 Tolkien Calen-
dar ( they would actually IMPROVE upon the treatment
offered here). Pure magic.
There's so much about this painting that I love: the sin -
ister - looking "stone face" above the three principals;
the mist rising from Morgul Vale; the city itself, with its
ever - vigilant revolving tower; the mountains in the background. All these things make this one of the gif -
ted twins' most impressive paintings.

Gollum looks great in my opinion. I love this pic, and all of the Brothers' work.
