Yes, another great middle earth artist.

Alan Lee will always be the quintessential Tolkein Artist for me. Probably because he illustrated the first copy I read.

To be clear, these pictures were long before the films were begun. He was hugely influential on the design… some elements like Orthanc were directly copied.

I always liked these visit posters. Also a world map of Middle Earth would be cool in the middle of these

I've got a framed copy of the map of Middle-Earth as it appears in the novels, on parchment-looking paper. It's readily available for sale.

Second for Alan Lee, I love his cover for Children of Hurin:

Gotta love the maps. I assume Tolkien drew his own? I might be wrong.

 

[Jahydin]

All time favorite for me!

Anything by Angus McBride.

Some of Tolkien's own works are really lovely. I'll add this one to the barrel riders and shire depictions already in the thread.
