SciFi and Fantasy Art: Éowyn

This picture is so beautiful. Éowyn is my favorite character from The Lord of the Rings. I agree, she was so much better in the books than the movie. The movie is great, but it's nothing compared to the books.Thanks a lot. The movies, since they don't compare to the books, will never be that good to me!

Now this is pretty good, if not for that lifeless expression on her face. And what's wrong with the movie. It wasn't so bad, and I found The Two Towers to be almost better than it's book version, wich was in my opinion, a bit duller then the rest, at least the first part. The battle at Helms Deep for instance, or the conversation between Arwen and Elrond. In the Return of the King I realy liked the idea of Elrond, visiting Aragorn personaly, giving him the sword and saying "Onen i estel edain" (if my elwish is correct). Aside from several really big flaws, it was a great movie.I guess whether you like the movie or not is simply down to personal interpretation. As for the example of Elrond visiting Aragorn -- to me, that simply negates the whole point of the travels of the Fellowship. By Elrond turning up out of the blue almost effortlessly, it takes a lot away from the toil and hardship and sheer adventure that the Fellowship faced over many, many weeks. What's the point?

where to begin. the emotion you've captured in her eyes is simply breath taking and the flowy detailed hair is so beautiful. I think that you are very consistent in your style and you've aquired a certain quality in your artwork that can be recognized as your own signature style...have you ever thought of getting your images published. Its the type of art that LOTR obessesors like me would fawn over. Exellent...wonderful workThank you very, very much indeed. I haven't as yet tried to get my LotR work published as I don't think I'm good enough. But who knows what the future may hold .

Sorry to answer so late, but about Elronds apearence, it does not negate anything. The Fellowship had to go through all those obstacles, because of Saruman. After Saruman's defeat, the path between Rivendell and Rohan was clear, so going through Moria for example, was no longer necessary. And if you remember what happened in the book, well Aragorn IS visited from Rivendell and does receive a gift, but the visitors are his rangers instead of Elrond, and the gift is a flag instead of the sword which he already had. Some aspects of the film had a better effect then the in the book. Although I haven't liked many aspects myself: like no Glorfindel, or Merry acts like a six years old (he was supposed to be some sort of a landlord by then, and instead, he steals vegetables), Tom Bombadil wasn't in either, but he was supposed to represent either the reader or the author, and this was a film, not a book so his presence is unnecessary.I guess then that it is Elrond's particular appearance that I felt was a bit 'cheesy'. If it had to be done, I'd probably feel it better that at least an embassador of Elrond be the one to take the sword to Aragorn. I guess my biggest gripe is in almost trivialising the geography of Middle-earth in the movie, but that could never be any other way. It's hard to get a feel for the scope of the land in this visual medium. However, by having Elrond suddenly pop out of nowhere I think it ruined the strength of Anduril, the symbolism -- sort of like 'whoops, forgot to give you this earlier son, sorry!'. That's just my take on it, I'm sure yours' is different, and no less valid for it.

Beautiful.... But yeah, about the cropped head.... She might be a bit horse-faced, but that's cool... Lol, she prolly was! The colour theme's cool, but she looks like she about to puke or faint.... Either one.

Beautiful. She has a very Eowyn look on her face. Cold and fair. Her hair is so pretty...
Her lips may be a bit too grey, and her chin a bit too long and pointed, but no matter. That is only my opinion, anyway. It's very good!

Wow, you truly are amazing. I just love the expression. Her hair is gorgeous.

beautiful hair n eyes!

Eowyn is my favorite character from LOTR, and you captured her very well. Stoic and pretty but not *too* feminine.
