I suspect it might be at least partly due to her use of gouache which isn't the most rewarding medium when it comes to colour intensity.
Another artist I've discovered lately goes by the name
jankolas, and while I don't take that much to Peter Jackson inspired works, she's also got some First Age stuff, and her
Éowyn and Faramir are among the best I've seen.
And my most recent deviantart find is the Latvian
Līga Kļaviņa. She does beautiful dreamy watercolours, and her
Legolas was already at first glance more real to me than Orlando Bloom ever.
I like some of Alan Lee's and John Howe's works, but to my mind they're both overrated. Howe does beautiful landscapes and big scenes, but he's poor at portraying people. I like Alan Lee's style, but only a few of his pictures strike me in any way personally.
