A dual-edition full-color book for the millions of fans who have taken The Lord of the Rings to heart through the celebrated film trilogy. Many of the images included in this volume, depicting pivotal scenes and characters, were previously embargoed and have never appeared in book form. The work of Alan Lee and John Howe — the two artists most closely associated with Tolkien’s world — is featured, along with that of many other talented artists and designers. The artists’ own descriptions of the design process used in creating the look of the films both enlighten and enliven this essential book.
A richly illustrated, behind-the-scenes overview of the conceptual art and design of the Academy Award-winning film trilogy captures pivotal scenes and characters from all three films in The Lord of the Rings, featuring the work of acclaimed artists Alan Lee, John Howe, and many other talented artists and designers who offer their own take on the design process.
