SciFi and Fantasy Art: Searching Fangorn Forest

I really love all of your work, youre amazing, and you have the most uncanny ability to make everything look exactly as most people picture it from tolkeins books. Your detailed backgrounds are the best about all of your pictures, in my opionion. Would it be possible for me to add a link to your gallery in my elfwood bio?Jessica, not only would I like for you to link to me, but I'm honoured that you should wish to do so. Thank you, once again, for such a complimentary and well-written comment. Rest assured, I appreciate them all greatly.

that's exactly how i imagined Fangorn looking. they did it too dark in the movie. the stream is beautiful, all the characters are well proportioned, and the trees look really great. beautiful work, as usual ^^Thanks a lot.

The trees are just gorgeous...wonderful job!Thanks.

Yes, very nice trees. Arent trees in general the nicest thing? Sure they look good with leaves, but for the really gnarly trees they just get in the way. Leaves can kind of be thought of as clothing for them, so as they say here in america(puke) in terms of clothing, less is more. Most of your art it seems like they take place in autumn, just because of the brown tones plus gnarly trees. I like autumn, so its not a bad thing to me.Actually, Tolkien describes in detail most of the vegetation in Middle-earth, and more importantly, the exact dates of each event, so it's quite easy to get a feel for what you are drawing, if you pay close attention. From the time Frodo leaves Bag End to the fall of Sauron, the events only take place in a time frame of about six months -- from September to March of the next year. So, most of the story does indeed take place from Autumn to Winter and early Spring.

Ilove this painting like all of your work and ilove brown haired legolasThat's always good to hear. Thanks!

I do like how you made the trees look so real, and your Legolas is way cooler than the one in the films (although I think Orli did a good job and he is cute!!) Sorry, the fangirl in me has to come out once in a while. *slaps self once again* Save it for the Fanquarter, Robin! Oi, keep up the great work!! Try to control the fangirl in you, for I feel that they are fast becoming the bane of my life! But thank you for yet another wonderful comment!

I love it...Love it love it love...It.... I'm at a loss for a better comment...Forgivve me! I am stunned by it's beauty!You are forgiven! Moreover, I thank for your comment.

Fangorn forrest...I think this about matches my mental image. Wow amazing. Totally great.Thanks a lot.

My gosh... I really love the tones

I love how pulled back this is so that we can see the scenery. And the details of the trees are amazing. just wow...
