Great pics Chris 
tho I feel the last one with Gandalf looks like a "Tetley tea" advert 
I love behind the scenes stuff Figgy ! The imagination they come up with so that we can have 2 or 3 mins of 'non thinking' entertainment

Even that picture seems more animated than Blanchett.

Celeborn was a little better in his EE scenes. Galadriel I think got notably more wooden (probably intended to be mystical, came across as obtuse to me) in TH.

Like the Eagle pic ! The Ent picture has an iconic late 60's/70's feel.

yeah love those. You are right Az, the Ent one does have that 70s vibe.

It has that 70s vibe, but overlayed onto the film appearance of the characters involved.
So although it's a really sweet looking design, the mistreatment of Fangorn in the film would keep cropping up in my mind if I had it as a book cover.

I much prefer the older pictures & paintings, like this one. I like this, much more natural, something I can have a 'feel' for.

That is one mega bear, can do a lot of damage, a bear that size. At least peejers hasnt dressed Beorn up like the bear from The Golden Compass.......... or will he ?

I really like that one with Gandalf and the Balrog... even though it's Jackson inspired (reminds me of a bad thing), and seems to include 'real' wings... it's still somewhat rare that I find a Balrog encounter illustration that works well for me.
Subjective as that is.
Anyone know the artist?

Nice picture, but a bit too big for me.
I always pictured Beorn's bear form as being 10-12 feet, say two and half times the size of an orc (when Beorn transforms I'd always picture the proportions remaining pretty similar) but this just makes him looks mahoosive.
