Tag As FavoriteComment		Therefore, since daily Carcharoth drew nearer to Menegroth, they prepared the Hunting of the Wolf; of all pursuits of beasts whereof tales tell the most perilous. To that chase went Huan the Hound of Valinor, and Mablung of the Heavy Hand, and Beleg Strongbow, and Beren Erchamion, and Thingol King of Doriath.

How I love the Silmarillion! This picture is very nice. It seems quiet and light, yet not so peaceful, and a bit sad even. I'm quite happy that you included my favorite two characters- Beleg and Thingol. Great job2Thanks a lot.

I also like this piece also, very colorful and scenic 2 I like how the riders are running off in the distance in the backround, While in the forground great details of the woods really caputring it's great beauty 2Thanks a lot.

Ack! Where's Huan??? NO! Huan's not there! How can this be?
*weeps uncontrollablY*I imagined Huan to have run ahead to try and find Carcharoth. So he would be before Beleg.

This is an excellent painting - it's very "Arthurian" and reminds me a little of Alan Lee's illustrations of the Mabinogion, or his pocture of "The Hosting of the Faeries" in the book with Brian Froud...I love the illustrations Lee has done for the Mabinogion (and "Faeries" is great, too). I think they are sometimes even better than what he did for LotR.

Horses.
One day...

Fantastic.The horses seem a trifle too lined, the foliage lacks depth a bit.I think that's the problem.I'm hurrying-want to see the next pic.Achieving depth is always a problem with watercolour.

I love all of your work! It's all so beautiful. You really know how to capture the essence of every moment in your pictures. I've seen a lot of your work on Rolozo and have wanted to let you know what I think of your work for the longest time. And lo and behold, here you are on Elfwood! (I'm glad that my idle internet browsing has finally paid off!)
This picture in particular is one of my favorites. It's like a still shot. You could swear that if you just look at it long enough, they will start to move again! I love the lighting in this piece! XDThank you very much.

I don't care what anonymou said, I think you've got wonderful depth in this piece. And the lines are your style. I don't know why people think the better art has no lines. It depends on the artists style. And you, my friend, are superb!

first of all I love your works. but this pic is not so good as they usually are... I think this picture is too "flat" there is no depth at the riders, the all just seems "flat"

keep up the rest of your good work!
