Card themes illustrated by a single artist

A few themes or groups of cards in the game have been illustrated by a single artist (instead of being spread to multiple illustrators). Here's what I found:

- All the (Blue Mountain) dwarves in Bilbo's company have card art by Angelo Montaini
- The Nine Nazgul have all been painted by Liz Danforth
- All the art on automatic attack modifiers is by Angus McBride (Awaken/Arouse/Incite Minions/Denizens) - [but Awaken Earth's Fire is an exception as well as Choking Shadow]

Has anyone realized any other groups of cards in this fashion?

Minor, but brothers Elladan and Elrohir are both by April Lee (missed opportunity not to also give her Arwen and/or Elrond).

Also, 3 of the 4 Ent allies are by Gail McIntosh, but for some reason they gave Treebeard to Angus McBride (and frankly, it's one of my least favorite artworks of his).

Liz Danforth also did the 3 trolls. I like using them because they all have good playability and stats, and they're just fun.

Her caption: One of the Nazgul while in the process of falling under the Shadow. That's a helm, yes. And it's not his face, it's his father's face. This guy is seriously creepy.


Also, click on her "Never Refuse" image and read the caption for a good laugh :lol:
