Description For a long time i wanted to make a Portrait of Larry Elmore, one of the most influential fantasy artists in my pursuit of an art career.

I contacted him through facebook and asked permission to make a portrait using one of his photos and he was such a gentleman, he really liked the portrait!

Made with Prismacolor Graphite drawing set.

One of my goals as a writer is for some of the authors I've read to enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed theirs. This must have been a similar moment for you, congratulations.
