Here are some of my personal favorites.

The Wizards:
  • The 3 Trolls by Danforth - I like them all rough and stony. I especially like Bert.
  • Anorien with the Pelennor and Osgiliath, even Pelargir.
  • Galadriel - very high and noble, but her expression is giving off that "B"-face. Seems appropriate.
  • The Balance of Things - just because it's got the whole crew.
  • Wargs - just always liked it. Good staple too.
The Dragons:
  • Gift of Comprehension - a great moment from the Silmarillion.
  • Master of Wood, Water, or Hill - one of my favorite cards. Always liked Bombadil and this image perfectly captures the title with Tom leaping the stream and headed for the hills.
  • Icy Touch - creepy!
Dark Minions:
  • Beautiful colors and a sweet moment. Probably the Gamgees.
  • The Under-grottos - I like a lot of the Underdeeps sites and their use of a single color. The green works great here with Gollum's eyes.
  • To the Utmost Foundations - just epic.
Lidless Eye:
  • Black Rain - this art brings to life the crazy story of Thrain's disappearance.
  • Lure of Expedience - Great for the title. It's like some delusion or false memory that Sauron had because he was too excited and not thinking straight.
  • The One Ring - This version is awesome.
  • Veils of Shadow - this is how I imagine "the eye"
Against the Shadow:
  • Rivendell - close to my imagination
  • Pilfer - that one hobbit looking for the hidden treasure room
The White Hand:
  • Alatar - I like the colors, and it adds to his character, building on the ATS art.
  • Saruman - Great art.
The Balrog:
  • ICE was on a budget.
