| 17 Aug 2002 |  Claudia M. L. Smith | This is very nice, and something I pictured quite like that! Pity you can't see the horse (but then I'm a bit mad about horsies  ) Anyway, well done! | |
| 7 Sep 2002 |  Tantz Aerine | Eowyn is indeed excellent here, because she convinces for a young man AND, for the readers that know she's a woman, she can pass off as a woman too! That's not easy to pull off. I would like Merry to be a bit more defined under her cloak but that's nitpicking. Its a great pic. | |
| 7 Dec 2002 |  Julia le Fae | wow! this is very good!!! Eowyn could definitely pass for a guy, with her now-sorrowful face, but if you know she's a girl, you can also see her so! my only complaint (and it's just a teensy one) is that Merry seems to have a wound or a cut on his face and I don't know how it got there...but otherwise, it's most impressive! you DO go for scenes that are rarely illustrted! bravo! | |
| 21 Jan 2003 | Rebecka Eriksson | This is a scene you don't see potrayed very often! And so very well done... I love the way you made Eowyn's face, it's so hard to tell if it's male ot female, still you can see that she is beautiful.
Would you mind if I used this in the Eowyn-tour that I'm doing? It would be very appreciated! | |
| 24 Jan 2003 |  Derek L. Hand | Go for it...  I'd be honored | |
| 2 Jun 2003 | SuperHyperBerryBomb | This is the first portrayal of this scene I have seen, and a most excelent one in my oppinion!!!!!!! Bravo! And no cleavage! This is one of the first pictures I've seen where Eowyn could pass as a man! What are those people thinking who draw her as a model in a bikini??? This is great. She has such serenity on her face, and Merry looks appropriatly weathered. Pity few other authers share you interpretation... Ah, well, that's not fair, there are other realistic authurs out there... ^_^ | |
| 20 Sep 2003 |  Jana L. Johnson | Oh, wow... You would never even guess this was Eowyn if you didn't know... Really good job. Go you! | |
| 26 Oct 2003 | Jonathan | This is magnificent! It's got one of the top three Eowyn drawings I've ever seen. I hope you've done more Tolkien inspired work. | |
| 6 Dec 2003 | Anonymous | wow perfect, only mery's head looks a little bit to mature I think. but eowyn looks perfect | |
| 6 Jan 2004 | Rebecca | This is an amazing job - many depictions of Eowyn Sheild Maiden of Rohan have looong blonde hair billowing in the wind and clingy clothes making it quite obvious that she's FEMALE. She fooled quite a number of people, but attired like that - not a chance!
That's why i guess I reallty like this picture - its Faithfullness to Tolkien. Excellent work with the picture, Merry's aged look helps with the dreariness and hopelessness of the situation and Eowyn - Bravo! and her wistfully looking back! Very Touching Picture!
