Hi! You know I love all your pictures =) But my favorite here is Hidden Cabin. You are just amazing. I love all the details, it makes it fun to look at over and over again because it feel like you can find something new all the time =)

Excelent work, ever feel the urge to add colour?

John Bovellan replies: "I must thank you again for all the comments you have left throughout my gallery! About colour; I've thought about it, but I'm not sure how good I would be with them... As mentioned in my bio, I'm self-taught and currently studying 100%, so I'm not even sure that I would have the time needed to colour something! "

Your work is very detailed and incredible. Keep it up~!

John Bovellan replies: "I'm glad that people want to see more of my work! I'm thinking about opening another gallery online somewhere to show off all the other pictures I've drawn, but first I need to scan in some of my more recent works to put up here on Elfwood!"

Love your style and originality...your shading and concepts are on top of the game and has inspired me to further my skills....

John Bovellan replies: "Somehow I never tire of compliments! To truly inspire someone is what we live for, so that is indeed a great compliment."

I came, I saw, I commented! - and I enjoyed!! - I'll definitely keep an ^eye^ out for your new works John. You have given me some inspiration with your well skilled graphite work, and I hope that some of my comments prompt your own thoughts too - maXine

John Bovellan replies: "I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your comments! I live to inspire, and to be inspired!"

My fave pic is your tortureed demon guy =) but really your whole gallery is awesome, keep it up =D

John Bovellan replies: "Thanks for the comment, o mysterious but courteous visitor!"

Great gallery. I see Maxine has been very busy, haha. Welcome to the woods.

John Bovellan replies: "Thanks for the welcome! I am now officially in love with maXine for her comments! ;-)"

** looks up ** aaawww... sweet! I finally got mys-elf over here for a view of your new artworks, and I liked what I saw! A couple of tips:-

1. After each art update, go to the Extranet, go to Tools and Utilities, then Force Rebuild of Page - this way us poor commenters won't be pecking and hunting for the pick to match the thumbnail (I went and did this for you - I can do this because I am a 'mod')

2. Never mix your colours with your whites when doing your laundry.

Oh, and *cough* *cough* I have updates in my gallery *cough* you will notice them immediately, they are the one's that have COLOUR!! - maXine

John Bovellan replies: "I have not been able to either update or browse other art for a while now... Thanks for the tip about rebuilding the site, it works much better now!"

I just popped in to see if you had put in any new pictures and was greatly pleased to find many new ones. You really are an amazing artist. I myself have put a few more drawings in (and gotten rid of a few of the dodgy ones) feel free to check it out.

John Bovellan replies: "Some day I will have the time to upload even more (perhaps even a couple of new ones?)! I'm sorry that I have not been able to comment back on your drawings, but I'll get around to it eventually... sorry."

Hi,
I was wondering if I could use your picture ’Treetop City’ (http://www.elfwood.com/art/d/e/dewon/treetop_city.jpg.html).- as part of a free ’choose your own adventure’ type game I have on my website (www.ageoffable.net).

I’m not making any money out of the game, so I can’t pay you.

I will however credit you and set up a link to any website you nominate. I’ll also send you a ’featured artist’ icon you can put on your site.

If you’re interested please contact me at news@apolitical.info.

Thanks,
James.
