I had found this on a fansite and asked about the artist. They said that they could give me permission to use it, but now I see it here... I sent you a PM and was looking for permission from you, if you were the original artist. Please let me know?

That's absolutely gorgeous, you've truly captured the great John Howe. Kudos. And man, you draw FAST for being so accurate. Love this portrait, and the rest of your gallery is very impressive as well.

That really is a good one! The shading is awesome and quite realistic! The only flaw i can see is around the left eye, something is just ticking me off here even if i can't say what! XD Now, i'll never be able to do portraits as realistic as yours so i'll stop complain and enjoy you work! instant
