As far as I know, only Alan Lee and John Howe worked as art designers for the films and only their paintings were used, but in that panoramic shot of Aglarond I am fairly sure I saw this painting on the right, 'The Glittering Caves of Aglarond' by Ted Nasmith:<P> <P>Can anyone confirm this? It would imply that they didn't just use paintings by Lee and Howe, but also Nasmith. I've always wondered why he wasn't in the design team, but they seem to have used his paintings. Are there more Nasmith paintings in TTT to be found? I didn't recognise any in FotR.

I saw that scene in there too, but I can't give you any information on it. At least it's a confirmed sighting now .

I'm pretty sure they didn't. They had John Howe and Alan Lee, why would they need to?? I'm sure all three had fairly similar visions of Aglarond.<P>Ted Nasmith is awesome, though. I love his Mordor ones, it looks horrible, like hell would!
