Realistic Nature Gnome Art

I'm seeking a talented artist to create realistic gnome artwork. The gnome should be depicted standing in a wooded, mountainous setting. Additionally, I would like the gnome to be finely detailed and more intricately constructed than a cartoon-style variety.

I am very interested in finding someone who will, from a photo, convert the likeness and features of a person into a gnome as outlined above.

Ideal skills and experience:
- Proficiency in realistic drawing
- Experience with nature scenes
- Attention to detail

Please provide a portfolio with similar work.
