Oh, "nemo nascitur artifex"? It says "no one is born an artist" in latin. I thought it was nice to use here... though no one understands what it says...

Excellent colour and texture on the skin/fur. You've done everything so well, and so far, I don't have a bad thing to say about your art

This is truly an amazing painting! Legolas will always be remembered. I worked with horses for a few years, taking people out on horseback rides on the beach in South-Africa. it was great. i loved every day. but sadly horses died of old age as the years went by.
Looking forward to your new work
