With illuminating captions telling the story of the images in the words of the artists and designers responsible for the look of the film, including the renowned artists Alan Lee and John Howe, and contributions from Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor, Grant Major, Ngila Dickson, Paul Lasaine, and others, this book is a must for all fans of The Lord of the Rings.

In this essential reference to the architecture and costumes of Jackson's onscreen Middle-earth, the stunning large-format art, from sketches to paintings to three-dimensional maquettes and digital art, is lovingly reproduced with lavish production values to create a spectacular keepsake for the film's millions of fans.

This book documents a small portion of the concept art work that went into designing the two towers. from designing the balrog, to the warriors of rohan, this book shows the creative process that the weta designers took, with commentaries from artists such as Daniel Falconer and Warren Mahy.
A part of the book that must be noted is the Gollum concept art. from concept sketches to silicone busts, the process that went into making Gollum was a chapter in itself. for readers wanting to know more about Gollum's design process, i reccommend the book: "Gollum: how we made movie magic", available from any good library.
Overall, this book is a great read, and i highly recommend it for any Rings fans out there. Hide.
