The most influential of the Middle-earth artists (not counting JRRT's own few illustrations) are Nasmith, John Howe and Alan Lee, the latter two of whom directly worked on the movies and the first of whom was a big influence on some scenes despite his lack of involvement. The other big name is the Brothers Hildebrandt, whose Tolkien-themed art I mostly dislike but who were pretty influential in shaping the perception of LotR back in their heyday (the 70s).

I'm just gonna dump some Tolkien art here for the next hour ish because hell, why not. Sorry if I fuck up any attributions.

"The Uruk-Hai", John Howe
