OT: not very good kickstarter campaign. But exceptional product for 5 USD pledge. Good quality of the figures, excellent colors, great quantity of figures. Anyone who has not pledged to $ 5 has lost a great deal. ;-)
Next time a little more on the piece and less hops to the right and left. :-D
PS: Antonio, is private contact possible to talk about a possible commission? :-)

The obvious other reference is to Tolkien's own writings that described Helm's Deep, primarily in Book 3 of "The Two Towers" part of The Lord of the Rings, which included some physical sizes and locations. See for instance the Wikipedia summary page on Helm's Deep, and the various links from the Tolkien Gateway Wiki's Helm's Deep page. The drawing cowboyleland linked to seems to be the only sketch Tolkien himself made that's easily visible online, but if you have access to a copy of the book "The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien" (by W. G. Hammond & C. Scull, Harper Collins, 2015, pp. 99-104), there are three other drawings of the same place by Tolkien there, with some additional description. Of those, Figure 76, p. 103, helpfully sets the Hornburg and the various elements of the defences in the broader context of the Deeping Coomb as a whole. What's especially interesting is that although all four sketches show similarities, there are variations between each, as Tolkien's own ideas about what Helm's Deep looked like changed somewhat over time. None of these are identical to any of the subsequent impressions of Helm's Deep by more recent artists and map-makers, while the necessities of games based on the Battle of Helm's Deep may need other adjustments - the 1974 Fact and Fantasy Games board wargame, for instance.
