What I consider the most accurate rendition of Radagast. A quick sketch by Jenny Dolfen:

An interesting take on how Idril got her epessë, Celebrindal, by Morgan Rogers:

Tolkien showing us why he called his dragons "worms" and the proper shape his dragons take:

Lída Holubová did a wonderful series of moody geographical pictures that I couldn't possible post all of, but here's some samples:
Zirak-Zigil

Helcaraxë

Pelannor Fields

Minas Tirith by Stephen Meisl

This could only be First Age Minas Tirith. But that looks more like a lake than the river Sirion, and I'm sure there were no (near-) alpine mountains that close to the river. Nice Picture, though.

I think they condensed the gap between Dorthonion and the Ered Wethrin.

Mr. Ralph Damiani likewise did a series covering locations called "Across Middle-Earth". I can't post all of them, but here's a sampling of my favourites:
Rivendell

Bree

Minas Tirith (someone finally remembered that the outer wall is BLACK)

Midgewater Marsh

And that there are homes and farms on the Pelennor, not a barren wasteland

It's always nice when people actually do their research.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the fact that the Amazon people don't seem to understand the difference between "forging" and "casting" doesn't bode well.

Plus, they apparently think Galadriel was planting oak trees. 😳

Erm ... methinks S-eS's speculation is, as Lou Reed once sang, a "Walk on the Wild Side".
It's one of the pictures on screenrant.com for which S-eS posted a link in another thread:

https://thetolkien.forum/threads/lord-of-the-rings-on-prime-updates-thanks-varking.23922/post-548870

I looked at all the pics in the link and would come to the conclusion that none of them shows Galadriel.
I mean, where would Galadriel get such scruffy clothes? From Gaffer Gamgee's wife with a quick "Back to the Future" trip?

Not that I'd be willing to bet that it's impossible for this to be Galadriel in Amazon's "vision" (at some point in the story).
Like, she wouldn't want to get those blindingly white (-silver?) togs PJ gave her for his films messed up by gardening.
But in what setting would Amazon think this to be fitting? Are we in for "creativity" run amok? 🤯

I found this artist on Reddit and really liked the style

I should have made clear this is pure speculation on my part.

But who else is more likely? Is there going to be a subplot about hobbits reduced to eating acorns?

I think, that this is some hobbit. They will have their "multicultural hobbit clans" in their show.

Internet consensus appears to agree.

"Filthy hobbitses!" -- as Gollum would say.
