Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. :)

I think this might be my favorite piece so far in your Hobbit series. What a beautiful and well-rendered image! The smoke coming out of Smaug's nostrils and the details of the architecture are my favorite parts.

Sir, I believe that in my opinion this may be the best one so far. You are so great at drawing monsters!

Justin,
I love your art. It's a very unique approach to combine real and digital medium into your pieces.
If you publish your Hobbit art into a book, I'll be first in line.

Wow Justin, these are fantastic. So appealing, I am looking forward to following your progress. Hat tip to Irene Gallo for pointing out your site.

I also have to thank Irene Gallo for pointing me here. Absolutely beautiful work.

I. Gallo's description of your projects-- recapturing your vision of Tolkien-- is a great one, & something I think about often. As much as I adore the movies, keeping your own coals burning, using the interpretation you developed, is super admirable.
