The fiestier side of the Lady. She doesn't look very angry, but it's all in th eyes.I thought I'd give her freckles in that one, since I've always imagined the Rohirrim to be kind of Irish-looking, don't ask me why...and Eowyn must spend some time outside, so freckled she is..:)

I love this. She looks like someone just said something very rude and she's about to call them on it.

:-) Liliane Grenier replies: "Hehe, thanks, I like to think the same, but more like someone told her something bad about her being a shieldmaiden...or something.lol"

oh my God, she looks just as i imagined her, which is, coincidentally, exactly like one of my cousins. it's beauiful!

:-) Liliane Grenier replies: "Hehe, that's so cool, I love when people say my drawings look like someone they know...it's strange and mysterious.lol"

I always imagined the Rohirrim as something akin to the Norse... But then again - that's where the Celtic looks come from, so I guess it's all the same in the end 2
LOVE her expression - go defiant Eowyn!

I think they were mostly based on the Anglo-Saxons. I read in a book of essays on Tolkien that their language was really just Old English (which was what Tolkien was a professor of, anyway.) And when the Rohirrim first appear there are some things that are a lot like the Saxon poem Beowulf...the part where the company have to leave their weapons outside, and there's a guy called Unferth in Beowulf who's a bit like Tolkien's Wormtounge....come to think of it maybe it's Wormtounge who offended her in the picture. Er--sorry aout the lecture. It's a _reeelly_ good picture.

Tolkien would have been proud. It looks like you know everything what the book says...*wonder* It's - I don't know how to express what I'd like to tell you, but - you're soo talented, girl!

I love it! To me it looks like a younger version of Eowyn. I just finished drawing a picture of Eowyn standing with a sword, and it’s pretty good, but I think I still like yours better. I can’t post pictures on the internet, though, so I can’t show you the one I just drew.
