One of the things I love most about Peter Jackson's Middle Earth films is the art, style and designs. They are absolutely beautiful films! The worlds, and characters he and his artists create are spectacular!

We have a fantastic set to concept art to share with you from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The include designs of Smaug, Beorn in Bear, orcs and of course the Mirkwood spiders.

These were awesomely created by artist Andrew Baker. Thanks to io9.
