   And again amazed. I wonder how it would look like if done with oils.

   Dude, I love your style, you're amazing! That 3d scetch (the Balrog close up in the goldish colour) what is the material u've used? It looks rly good and a nice change from the boring traditional grey pencils I use all the time. Would love to try smth new 🙂

   absolutely speechless!!!

   i just want to know one thing, are all “silmarillion” illustrations going to stay the way they are now, or will they be digitally finished?

   i must say i really love them the way they are, where you can still see the sketchy pencils and watercolors.

   keep it up Justin!
