'Then the guards stepped forward, and Faramir opened the casket, and he held up an ancient crown. It was shaped like the helms of the Guards of the Citadel, save that it was loftier, and it was all white, and the wings at either side were wrought of pearl and silver in the likeness of the wings of a sea-bird, for it was the emblem of kings who came over the Sea.'

J.R.R. Tolkien: 'The Lord of the Rings', Book 6, Chapter 5: The Steward and the King

Amazing! I love the way you capture so many emotions in this picture. Aragorn looks at the crown as if he is reluctant to take it, yet has been wanting to for a long time. Great job!

Great painting,great attention to detail on his clothes,i take it you use references,or do you just come up with the patterns yourself?
The banners really give it a great atmosphere...fantastic.

You have truly mastered water-colours in a way i never could.

FANTASTIC!
*kidnaps Faramir*
I must say, though, it looks kinda like Faramir's been staring at the crown too long. Aragorn's got an impatient expression on, like, "Oi! Faramir! Can I be King yet or what?"
It's lovely, though, and I definitely want to keep him. Mommy, he followed me home...
