Today I was looking over the internet for images and design concepts related to the Lord of the Rings animated movie.
I found Mike Ploog drawings very nice and continued to look into some samples of the original storyboard (I am not sure if those were all drawn by him or not). While doing that I was thinking: wouldn't it be wounderful if Mike's drawings on the Lord of the Rings and the original storyboard were collected and published in a book?
So my questions:
1) Were Mike Ploog drawings for the Lord of the Rings ever collected and published?
2) Has anyone seen the whole original storyboard? Was it including something after where animated movie's plot stopped? Was it ever published somewhere (in a book or any other form)?

I did send a note to Ralph Bakshi to see if I can get any info there, as well.
Good luck. I own several pieces of Ploog art related to the development of the movie.
Several storyboards have been sold over the years, some split up into individual scenes, which is a shame IMO. Ploog didn't do all of them, however. David Jonas did some as well, perhaps others. I have a lot of art from the Bakshi film as I was really into it as a kid.
