SF&F Picture 3 out of 11 by Kat 'Rohan Elf' Young.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Éowyn and Faramir

“They were clad in warm raiment and heavy cloaks, and over all the Lady Éowyn wore a great blue mantle of the colour of deep summer-night, and it was set with silver stars about the hem and the throat. Faramir had sent for this robe and had wrapped it about her; and he thought that she looked fair and queenly indeed a she stood there at his side. The mantle was wrought for his mother, Finduilas of Amroth, who died untimely, and was to him but a memory of loveliness in far days and of his first grief; and her robe seemed to him raiment fitting for the beauty and sadness of Éowyn. But she now shivered beneath the starry mantle, and she looked northward, above the grey hither lands, into the eye of the cold wind where far away the sky was hard and clear...”

11 Jan 2005	Faye Greenleaf	Loading... Eowyn looks a little cross, I wonder what Faramir said! I hate it when she's unhappy, which, unfortunatly, is most of the time. She's such a remarkable woman, and all she wanted to do was go to war and die! It's lucky that Merry was there, or her wishes might have come true; though, Faramir was the best thing that could have happened to her! It's one of my favorite parts in the book, and certinly the most romantic!! GREAT JOB!!!!
2 Feb 2005	Wyntre Rose	Loading... Wow, what a neat angle! I really like this, it's very unique!
9 Dec 2005	Amanda L.	Loading... I just love Eowyn. She is like my favorite character from lotr. This is a beautiful picture! If only paint with watercolor like that! I need to work on that. Anyways, keep up the amazing work.
30 May 2006	Anime Freak	Loading... Neat angle. I really like Faramir, that was favorite part in the book! sorry to say this but Eowyn looks like a guy. Faramir looks good though.
15 Nov 2006	Cheese cake	Loading... um this isn't really sf or f art is it? It should belong in the fan art section
23 Nov 2006	A. Numinous	Loading... As I never managed to read LotR all the way through, and as Jackson's pixelstorm phantasmagorias are a bit of a blur as well, I've only the vaguest of notions as to who Éowyn and Faramir are. But whatever. I'm afraid the face of the woman doesn't look quite right. The "frog's view" angle can be fiendishly tricky, and you do get an "A" (and, it seems, a Mod's Choice star) for effort. The man's hairline looks a little odd too. The subdued colours are really nice, though.
3 Dec 2007	David Michael	Loading... Very good picture overall; I like Faramir and the expression on his face. The subdued color palette is very nice indeed, but I also have a problem with Eowyn's face. Aside from the very unflattering view up her nose, it looks like a man's face. Not being an artist myself, I can't tell you the exact differences between men and women's faces, but something about her chin, cheeks, and forehead is just too blocky, too bold and unattractive for a woman. Tolkien does specify that she is quite fair to look on. Anyway, that's the only problem I have with it. Otherwise it is very nice. I like the composition and the feeling of a windy, cloudy day.
7 Feb 2008	Désirée Ruth Dippenaar	Loading... Woooooow I love this! I would never have been able to paint something like this at age 16! I still can’t! o.O One of my favourite parts of the book, and you really did it justice!
7 Feb 2008	Anon.	Loading... He looks like he was just teasing her. He’s got this look in his eyes and she looks somewhat cross. It’s very cute.
