Re: Ted Nasmith
I also find the water paintings of Eismann very beautiful and nice. They just somehow capture the gray feeling of Middle-Earth and races, characters... etc. pretty much the way I pictured them.

Re: Ted Nasmith
I believe the picture you are using, noldo, is the one I was referring to.

Re: Ted Nasmith
Really? I also like it very much.
Some pieces by Inger Edelfelt are also good. Like Legolas! |

Re: Ted Nasmith
Me
Actually, Lee is my favorite. I like Nasmith, but I hate the one where Aragorn is kissing Boromir's brow, that little mustache makes me sick. BTW, if anyone does fan art or knows anyone who does, we're moving (very slowly) towards opening Lorien, which is the fan art section of the trail. Submissions are greatly appreciated. |

Re: Ted Nasmith
You could use my picture of a Palantir if you are really short. (This is not a general authorization for everybody and their dog to come and get it though, it's Lorien specific)

Following proper process, I am digging up this ancient thread on Middle-Earth artist.
First of all, here is a link to a lot of beautiful work by Eissman. She replies to compliments, so be sure to tell her how moved you are. http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/a/n/anke/anke.html I also Like Ted Nasmith and Alan Lee. When I was young the Hildebrandts were the best, but now their work looks like cartoons to me.

Alan Lee is an excellent artist but I prefer the images of Nasmith and the Hildebrandts. Probaby because I saw them when I first started reading Tolkien. I had considered getting Lee's illustrated version of LOTR but after looking at it, decided I just didn't like the pictures well enough to shell out that much cash.

The only artwork I've seen that I know who the artist is is Tolkien (I have the Pictures book), and the Hildebrandts (the 1977 calendar), both of which I like.

One of the first Tolkien calenders I ever bought was the 95' John Howe. Ever since he has been my favorite Tolkien illustrator. The Fingolfin vs Morgoth picture is AMAZING.

Rodney Matthews
Although he has not done many paintings of Middle Earth Rodney Matthews really captures the tranquility in his pictures.
Rivendell is a wonderful painting. The Nine Set Out is one of my favourite posters. Other than that, I think that Tolkien himself was a good illustrator of ME, after all, the whole saga was his vision. |

Nice job, Elfhelm digging out this old thread. I suspect it was old enough that the mods would've let you start anew. But I am a little bit hazy on what's old enough and all that...
Anyhow, one of my favourite Tolkien artists is Tim Kirk I really love his Smaug, the riddle game, the road To Minas Tirith and Gandalf meeting Bilbo at Bag End. (Check out the llength of Bilbo's pipe!) His hobbits are a bit crude but overall I like how his paintings seem to evoke pure Imagination. Take a look and let me know what you think of Tim Kirks work.

The ones you mentioned are very nice. I also thought the 2 orcs were well rendered.

I'm with Elanor, My fav is me. I want to do something a little more retro looking, with brush strokes. I don't like the poster looking stuff. I'd like to see Galadriel by Mucha. To bad he's dead. I can't get the road song out of my head, so i want to paint that, in a small framed nouveau style. Hope I do it!
