Wow, so you are doing stuff I had no idea your were doing. You done a great job with Gandalf... especially the reviving part... ROTFL... Every day you surprise me. Very nicely done - Thanks for sharing.

Go deep in my portfolio and all will be revealed what this old sharpie artist can do..wink.
Comment from I can do all things
I am not going to profess I'm some kind of great artist. However, I think you would have to be pretty blind to see that this is amazing. My seven year old daughter knew who this was right away from across the room. We love Gandolf. In my opinion art is very subjective. You either like it or you don't. I think this is very detailed and stands out very well. Great work.

Comment from M. Celeste
I love your work. Unless people do art with markers and sharpies, they may not know how hard it is. I love the stroke work and the expression. Great lines in the hair and beard. Great sword. Hey, why don't you find out who at "Disney" you can contact. Bet they would be interested. Anyway, Great job!

thats why i did those 2 contest this year of sharpies only..really not to compete but give a chance for folks to have a taste of what i go thru when im compete against others..one more lil hint..to get the richness of the color i have to over the color at least twice to 3 or maybe 4 times..in otherwords im coloring it more than once..wink. thanks for the great review.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
I should give more bonus stars now to artworks that were created thru hard- earned manual renditions rather than the usual "quickies"...
The pointillist details are very straining on the right wrist and left eye! Why? Does anybody care to know?
The skin is quite okay now as its toned down a bit. The previous rendition of legs & cleavage is full of hemoglobin...
The Freudian nose matches well with the bushy mustache and forested goatee.
There are letters printed in the saber that I can't read...
Thanks for sharing

thanks for the awsome review.
Comment from Life is but a dream.
Mark, people who give you comments like that don't understand your medium that's all. Do you remember Cynnocence? (I still correspond with her sometimes). She and her art were totally misunderstood on this site. Wish you would do a little "educational blurb" on the public forum to tell us about sharpie.
Anyhow, I like the detail here and you are without a shred of doubt in my mind the sharpie master and respected artist not only here but dare I say even beyond FAR.
This is stunning work in every way...in detail, in point of view in shading, in flow.
I just saw you won a contest too...so congratulations on that win!

Comment from Photography byTrixie
Do they have sharpee conventions? If not maybe organize one afterall you are promoting their products they should pay you to show your work and you could give demonstrations. Have you ever sent samples of what you have done with sharpees to the manufacturers? Say "Lets have a contest to create more demand for your business"... funded by Sharpee. Better yet develop your own brand of sharpee and drive them out of business...LOl all the way to the bank. Got to drum up interest by doing something crazy with sharpies on U-Tube ... they had these bromies conventions (for my little pony horses apparently adults are into it now too..dont ask thought it very weird) they said they did first convention and had maybe 200 people and now its thousands...Makes Waves MFLOOD.. people build sand castles on the shore and now it attracts a lot of tourists...why not sharpie project..When I lived in Nashville they had fish and one year guitars they gave to local artist/famous people to decorate/design then they were placed around the city and auctioned off to raise money... you could get sharpie involved in something like this get your self out there ... FLASH...use it for RAISING MONEY TO STOP CHILDHOOD ABUSE .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am a brilliant old bird...

Comment from Danrae
Very nice poster created with the markers. I like the color of his skin and the details shown in his beard. Very expressive eyes and details in his aged face. Good art work here.

Avoiding con artists is not easy when they are all out to rob you of as much money as they can in their efforts to get you to advertise on their sites. ;-)
That's my two cents worth of opinion for free and another gold star slapped on your work. ;-)
