Artist Research Short: John Howe

Another illustrator who became well-known for tolkein illustrations and has also worked on the A song of ice and fire series.
If he looks iconic and typical it's because he's one of the foundational artists in the world of sci-fi/fantasy. I remember these illustrations from when I was a wee nessbeast reading these books the first time.

interested in: coherant color in a landscape, technical skill, building landscapes, inserting fantasy individuals believably in their rolling panoramic landscapes which extend beyond the picture plane.
