Rachmi  | 180 comments Illustration folder is for illustration of Tolkien books. It can be from Tolkien himself and other illustrators. Aside illustration by Tolkien, I personally only know a few of them; Alan Lee, John Howe, Ted Nasmith, and Ingahild Grathmer. But with a little digging in the internet, I found that there are also lots of illustrators whose works are inspired by Tolkien.

I think it'll be fun to see those illustration, as it can add to my reading experience.

And I found this old article but is a new-interesting thing for me regarding illustrator Tolkien loved and approved of http://io9.gizmodo.com/5968792/the-mi...

To make it easier, I think it is best if we divide the illustration based on Tolkien books. And since we’re reading The Silmarillion now, I’m going to start with it. Feel free to add it by yourself and enjoy!

I agree with the books, we'll approach it that way.

Rachmi  | 180 comments I'm so excited too!

I can only post for Silmarillion illustration by Ted Nasmith now, but I also cannot wait to look for other illustrations from other illustrators. It's so much fun searching and seeing those illustrations. I can spend hours in Ted Nasmith website only, lol.

Rachmi  | 180 comments Thanks, Wita! Glad you like it :)

I've already saw some good works for next chapters, cannot wait for you guys to see it. Most of them are from Ted Nasmith, Alan Lee and John Howe though.

But Wita, if you want to add the illustrations, please free to post it in its thread. I know you know some other illustrations aside those three ;)
