another book another thread, i think by now you all know the drill and i can dispense with all the stuff at the beginning... if you have no idea what all this ia bout i suggest you have a quick flick through the FotR illustrations threads

assignment one- the departure of boromir

this is a hugely illustrated section of the books. with many wonderfully done pictures. plus i have a huge "wish list" of illustrations to put up here.. so bear with me

last stand

by ted nasmith, yes i know the hobbits look slightly demented... wouldnt you if lots of orcs were about to attack you??

Image


this one is by catherin chmiel.. lovely

Image



and this one is by john howe.. you know its slowly growing on me. though im still not quite used to whole bearded boromir thing

Image


death of boromir

i think its very difficult to capture the actual death of boromir in paint.. sean bean did such a good job and its very difficult to illustrate a death... heres some of the better attempts.

this one is hideous quality.. i have another much better one that i will have to bug elen into putting up for me instead. anyway its by nasmith

Image


and this one is by edelfeldt

Image


departure of boromir

now this scene is wonderfully illustrated.. heres four of the nicest ones...

by paul gregory.. oh the light!!

Image


by roger garland- very like his work

Image


by garlands wife, linda. such a "lonely" picture

Image


and my absolute favourite for this scene... its nasmith of course. and wow. just wow.

Image

assignment three- the uruk-hai

the orcs argue

a request by Figwit, this is by Alexander Kortich, its actually an engraving of the scene rather than a painting.. the deatil is incredible.. look at the orcs hairy chest... all engraved!

Image


a rest stop

this is by Inger Edelfeldt, i just love the way she draws the hobbits in this scene.. poor merry and pippin

Image


running

im going to put this in because otherwise illustrations regulars will wonder why not. its by John Howe... on his site he says its actually frodo and sam- if it wasnt for him saying it i would be convinced he was wrong... they still have thier elvish capes on.

Image


into Rohan

by angelo montanini...

Image


the battle of the rohirrim

this is by giancola, another italian artist.. i like the sunset kind of light in this

Image


also take a look at this slightly more surreal view of that scene... here

Image



treebeard

this one is requested by Figwit, its by Terry Ernest

Image


this one is by Rodney Matthews

Image


and this one by Daniel Govar

Image


wellinghall

just one more image for you, this is welling hall by nasmith. im not keen on his treebeard but i do like the light in this.

as im sure you can see, theres an amazing variety in the ways treebeard and the other ents are drwarn. theres some even odder images out there- check out illustrations gallery, if you type ent or treebeard into the gallery search plenty will come up!

assignment six- The king of the Golden Hall

approaching Edoras

Image


entering the golden hall

This is by Pauline Martin. despite the scale its wonderfully detailed, if you zoom in alot you can see theoden in his chair and Eowyn and even Grima by his feet...

Image


Eowyn at the golden hall

im not convinced this is in the book but never mind...its by Michael Kaluta

Image

assignment six- helms deep

approaching the keep

this one is requested of me by Figwit, i hadnt seen it till she linked to me (shame on me for not keeping up to date with the galleries!) its by an invited artist called Tom Sherry....

Image


awaiting the battle

by John Howe, this is a big favourite in our gallery, it is of course legolas and Gimli awaiting the battle.

Image


the battle

this is by Alan Lee and it bears a remarkable resemblance to the film in my opinion.

Image


another howe image.

Image


and this image requested by Figwit is by Michael Kaluta, its rather pinker than i imagined the scene to be.

Image

Well, I really like some of those, but others are iffy...

I, personally, don't like it when the hobbits are potrayed as really little kids or lawn ornaments. You know...Sometimes people make them look like that. And I know that you're supposed to get that image in your head and make it stick, and everybody thinks what they think they will look like, and it's great. It's human nature. It's what's supposed to happen. But I just, in my opinion, don't like that.

hi samandfrodoforever, the idea of this thread is to encourage people to look in the illustrations gallery, i take a selection of images that i like and put them up here so people can see what kind of art and artists are about... if i put down all the images for each chapter then we would have an awful lot of pics!

if you have any images you would particularly like to see for any upcoming chapters please PM me rather than posting them in this thread.
