I love this guy's art. Especially hsi interpretation of the Grey Havens, but this might only be because that was how I thought of it. I haven't met many others who are fans though.

I love his landscapes, I love the color and the lines.  Alan Lee's colors are so muted and John Howe seems to really like the color blue, but Nasmith is not afraid of color and his pictures are so vibrant.   However, his faces can sometimes be so grim and harsh.  Some of his pictures of the hobbits make them look like such unpleasant little things.  I definately prefer his pictures that don't feature faces.

Well then, perhaps I should say "Hello!" :)

ahh yes, more nasmith fans......i absolutely love his work.  I'll agree about the faces though, especially hobbits, but all his horses/dragons/eagles are beautiful (although i dont much like the balrog).  The landscapes are just......breathtaking.  He really captures the way tolkien described the surroundings...somehow worked upon them so that they seem to not be from this world

It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.

I have never actually seen any of his work. But I have heard of him. By the sound of you guys he sounds amazing! I am very into doing landscapes.

heh.  Ted Nasmith's work is really stunning.  I especially love seeing his depictions of 'the hobbit'.

I love Ted Nasmith's work... and admire it...
His work has definitely inspired my art and his techniques are visible in my work too...

I had the once in a life time chance of working for him in December and seeing his new collection inspired by the Silm first hand...

They are soo beautiful they look so real...

I constantly amazed by his pieces and talent and he is one of my favourite Tolkien -inspired artists. His image of what some of Tolkienn's scenes would look like are mostly just like my own...

Wow, you worked for him! The closest I've got is e-mailing him....yup, his art on the Silmarillion is definitely the best in my opinion.

Wow lady elentari, you're extremely lucky, you must've learnt lots of things from him!

I think his artwork is impressive! Specially the landscapes and beasties, I'm not too keen on how he does human figures...

I've never heard of Ted until a while back thanks to this topic, and I took a look at his website and am taking a look at his artwork in the "Galleries" section, and I have to say WOW. That is some BEAUTIFUL artwork! I don't think I've ever seen artwork like Ted's.  8)
I check in every now and then.
