If you’ve already watched The Two Towers, you will not consider is surprising that the movie won the Oscar for best visual effects. But should you be in any doubt (which is unlikely), or rather, should you wish to view the evidence again, then The Art of the Two Towers is the book for you.
The second in the series after The Art of the Fellowship of the Ring, this book takes you as close to the movie as possible, except for actually watching the movie in theaters or on DVD. Filled with More...

Fabulous fast read, though this is not a book to be read in the most literal sense. This book is filled with over 500 concept sketches for the Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. The only text are the short explanations by the artists, and the fore- and afterword.
But what a beautiful book this. I do so love concept designs and this book showed maquettes, colour studies, sketches, clothing designs.. pretty much everyhing. It was a good mix of digital and traditional art, and it was ex More...

A great look at the art they used to visualize "The Two Towers" movie before they started filming. I also liked seeing the costume concept sketches and the original concepts of characters and such --some of which looked WAY different from the final filmed version.

The art works contained in this book and the series of them are absolutely STUNNING! There's a range of the work and not just restricted to what was finally in the films. It shows different artist's works and different styles and stages of the process. A great resource for anyone interested in how much work goes into designing films.
The biggest let down is it doesn't give very much information around the processes they go through or anything like that.
