I’ve never seen that picture of the dead marshes, though. Was that in one of the calenders?
It's December for this year's calendar. I got it for Christmas (and of course looked ahead at all the months [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

I like most of Nasmith's art, and I have the edition of The Silmarillion with his images. The only problem I have with him is that the characters don't look right, to me. For instance, the picture of Galadriel with short, boyish hair is totally weird. And all his characters tend to have the same facial features. The hobbits especially don't look right, and in Boromir's Last Stand especially, one of the Hobbits looks practically Orcish. (Not my Pippin, nooooo!)

Well, so that was negative. I actually have trouble finding character depictions that consistently fit my mental images. But for scenery, I really like Ted Nasmith. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
