Return to The Silmarillion

Sketches & Studies of The Silmarillion

Here you will find a collection of some of my sketches, studies and unpublished art based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion

Note: paintings labelled “MECCG” were created for the Middle-earth Collectible Card Game; some of these do not portray literal scenes from Tolkien’s works.
