Thank you for sharing these illustrations. My copy of LotR is a regular one and I haven't seen them before.

I think he captured the magic of Middle-earth very well. Especially the Nazgûl and Gildor and his company.

Looking forward to see more! :angel:

I think I've seen some of these before, but nevertheless they never cease to amaze me. The colour and detail is superb! Alan did a wonderful job! I can't wait to see more.

I live Alan Lee's artwork. It's amazing! It looks almost exactly as you imagine Middle-earth.

I love Alan Lee's works so much. It's how just how I've imagined Middle-earth.

Wow! I've seen some of his art, but not the stuff from the books. I love the Gildor one. :) I wish I had an illustrated copy.
Please post more!

New Pictures!

The House of Tom Bombadil
At the Sign of the Prancing Pony
The Black Riders

I really like the one with the Black Riders: it's dark and dangerous. :) I also like The Prancing Pony. You can see Strider in the background of the picture.

I really like all 3! I like the water lilly border on the House of Tom Bombadil. And thanks for pointing Strider out, or I wouldn't have noticed him, probably.

Sorry for double posting. I have scanned some more for you!

Luthien Tinuviel
Bilbo's Trolls
Rivendell
The Counsil of Elrond
Caradhras

I really like the one with Caradhras. When you take a closer look you can even see the Fellowship!
The Counsil of Elrond always makes me laugh. Elrond with a beard... :lol:
