The evolution of orc design is fascinating. They go from Tolkien's small goblins to D&D's giant brutes, then Warhammer gives them green skin and tusks and once WoW copies it, that becomes the default and the paradigm doesn't shift again till the modern day.

Children of Húrin is an epic fantasy novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. The book contains beautiful illustrations by Alan Lee. The story is one of three "great tales" set in the First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth.

One of my dearest books.

JRR Tolkien's own illustrations for The Hobbit..

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

The similarities between Tolkien's fictional Middle Earth races and ancient ones such as Celts are too obvious to ignore.

Hobbit Shires bear a strong resemblance to early Celtic settlements.

Trees were said & feared to be magic as their life outlasts ours. Similarly literary/cinematic trees' role is polarized: ethearal or deadly.
From C.S Lewis' wooden portal to Narnia & Tolkien's wise Treebeard to Burton's Tree of the Dead which is Gateway to Hell.

Although there are all too few female characters in Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', Éowyn plays a pivotal role by deceiving, outwitting & slaying the Witch-King of Angmar; contributing to the demise of Sauron.

JRR Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' inspires artists. Sample 18 artworks, several downloadable - as an aside, my son so loved this book from 10yr that he collected multiple editions to loan to friends, one copy never loaned to preserve the spine ... https://t.co/V4iKzmsjbg

The world of T-Bird & Throttle is an alternate version of our own. Inspired by works like Tolkien's Silmarillion, it has its own unique history, theology & creation story. Some seeds have already been planted with more to come in issue 4😉 https://t.co/0fsuhLVIAC

The Nazgûl are characters in Tolkien's legendarium. They succumbed to Sauron's power through wearing Rings of Power,which gave them immortality but reduced them to wraiths. The prophecy that the Lord of the Nazgûl would not die by the hand of man echoes 'Macbeth'

I've also loved John Howe's dark, energetic illustrations of Tolkien's stories, and as a conceptual designer helped shape the look of Peter Jackson's film versions.

The haunting, ethereal visions of Middle Earth created by artist Alan Lee have graced many editions of Tolkien's books and, of course, Peter Jackson's films.
