Description
An interesting variation on the Art vs Artist meme going on recently, where you show your own art alongside your art heroes the artists that especially inspired or influenced you.
It was of course very difficult to choose just eight of them, even when I decided to limit them just to Tolkien artists. I chose a diverse selection from the most renowned Tolkien illustrators to some of my friends from deviantArt whom I highly admire:
I had to leave out so many other inspiring artists, such as David Wenzel (maker of the Hobbit graphic novel), Anke Eißmann, here on dA the awesome TurnerMohan or EKukanova, Merlkir for his armour designs or my friends SarkaSkorpikova, aegeri, SaMo-art and many others I've regrettably forgotten to mention just now.

- Jenny Dolfen ( Gold-Seven ) – she's just the best. Her pictures perfectly capture the spirit and beauty of Tolkien's world.
- J. R. R. Tolkien – yes, he was his own illustrator, too. His pictures are of course high authority, so I take as much inspiration as I can from them.
- Alan Lee – perhaps THE most renowned Tolkien illustrator, known for his designs on the films. He certainly innfluenced my vision of Middle-earth arcitecture.
- Liiga Klavina ( LiigaKlavina ) – the most enchantingly beautiful. How does she do it?
- Petr Xavier Price ( peet ) – my friend from deviantArt, he has one of the most comprehensive galleries of illustrations of all Tolkien stories
- Maria Filatova ( Filat ) – beautiful realistic landscapes as well as portraits
- Pauline Baynes – Tolkien's own favourite illustrator, though perhaps better known for illusttrating the Chronicles of Narnia. I love her delicate style sometimes reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts.
- Ted Nasmith – his paintings draw you into Middle-earth, he makes it feel so alive, realistic and yet fantastic and vibrant.
