I just wanted to warn you that I used this illustration on a forum (you are credited with a link to your Deviant Art Gallery).
Basically, if you want to know what it's for, the forum is about Games Workshop's games and this section on the Lord of the Rings Battlegame. With a few friends we are redoing all the rules according to Tolkien's writing. One of the first modification was to give spears to the Rohirrim Riders to replace their javelines for example, making them more powerful cause they are really weak in the game and a competitive player will prefer infantry and use them only for harassing the ennemy, which is the role of the mounted archers. In some aspects there is a lot in common with TLD.
This particular drawing is to illustrate a discussion on Warg rules and change the image of the movies and counter the idea that "giant wolf" (I'm not even sure Wargs are described as 'giant' by Tiolkien) means "the size of a horse" (especially if they attack horses stomachs like in the UTs).
I also made some publicity for your work in the drawing section (called "pretty Tolkien illustrations" or something like that).
If you don't agree to have your image on this website I'll understand and just use a link of course.

And thanks for your authorization
I'm curious how much of your art I can use as long as it's in free products. I'm especially interested in the illustrations for each faction in the Introduction to TLD, and more particularly those who are not illustrated in general or less (Umbar, Dun, Harad, Mirkwood, Rhun). I don't want to abuse so I'll let you know every time I use one in order you could say "Stop!"

As long as it's not for a specific official product, it should be ok. If in doubt, ask.

Of course it's not official : Games Workshop will probably don't like the idea that the players can play hundreds of different characters without any book except the basic one ^^ I'm glad you have no problem. I'll add a link on your gallery each time I'm using your work

I meant if the specific image of mine wasn't made for an official product. (in which case I might not have the rights to it)

Ho okay. So is TLD considered as one ? And if yes can i use your drafts only, or only those who didn't serve for the game ?

No no, TLD is a fan non-profit project.

A thing who bother me,in The Lord Of The Rings wolves and wargs are totally evils and have to be massacred by good people of light <_< ...And as a big wolf lover,seeing creepy goblins riding them T_T ...

I love the looks of these too, and the wargs.
Actually, that was one of my gripes about the movie wargs... they didn't look wolfish
enough.
I would have preffered something slightly more like these, persoanlly.
