SciFi and Fantasy Art: King Théoden

What no comments? Very well done I only wish that I could draw horses that nice. I dont care for the long beard but I suppose ive just grown used to movie theoden.

Kat 'Rohan Elf' Young replies: "Yeah, book Theoden had a nice white beard.. but I think I may have made him look a little Crazy-Sword-Wielding-Santa like."

This is very well drawn! Totally in pencil? The circular frame is a good idea. The perspective is very difficultly to do I think but the proportions are just perfect. There´s very much action in this pic: the blowing cape, the galloping horse and King Theoden in his impressive armor. This is your best pic I think! Greetings, Nik

This is amazing! you should defenitly do more like this!

Kat 'Rohan Elf' Young replies: "I might, though I don’t find it as fun for some reason."

MWOO! I knew that looked familiar! I love how you've done it, but I had this odd feeling when I saw it that the pose was familiar... I grabbed my old horse encyclopedia and found the entry for 'El Cid', and there was your Théoden, in all his glory. This bears a striking resemblance to the statue of El Cid and Babieca, in Burgos, Spain.

Well anyway, that aside, you’ve done a lovely job with the whole picture… I especially love the Rohirric design on the reins and the armour, it’s well-used and beautifully done. All the work in your gallery amazes me, including this picture! Keep up the excellent work!

Kat 'Rohan Elf' Young replies: "Well done! You’ve done your homework!"

dramatic and SO beautiful. the shadow on the horse's face is powerful. love your style!

THE CHARGE OF THE ROHIRRIM!!! Yippeeee! Love everything about it! Excellent work!!!

Kat 'Rohan Elf' Young replies: "WOOOOOOOO!!!! GO THE ROHIRRIM!!!"

Nice, and the shadowing really brings it otu.

King Theoden rides a Tenesse Walking Horse? *giggles* the stride in that is definatly running walk.... Lovely picture really, I just have this giggle at the ieda of him on a walking horse instead of some burly war steed.

Wow thats really good!!!
