As she stood before Aragorn she paused suddenly and looked upon him, and her eyes were shining. ... as he took the cup, his hands met hers, and he knew that she trembled at the touch. 'Hail Aragorn, son of Arathorn!' she said. 'Hail Lady of Rohan!' he answered, but his face now was troubled and he did not smile.

J.R.R.Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings, Book 3, Chapter 6: The King of the Golden Hall

Hehehe... I think that's Eomer in the background thinking, "What's he think he's doing with my sister?" Hee hee... anyway, this is great as usual.Thanks a lot.

I noticed how everyone's staring at them. Why is that?
Funny Thought:
Aragorn suddenly turned to them all, saying, "Yo! Can a guy and a girl get some privacy, please?"
Eowyn looks a little like she's about to lean in and give him a kiss. Or it could be that she has the feeling that Grima is watching them somehow.Who knows?

I dunno..Eowyn Looks kinda manly.. Its elusive why, but she looks slightly like a guy! Other than that, I love this. The colors and the skill with which you've created it is wonderful!Well, she passed for a Rider, so she wouldn't have looked extremely feminin.

wonderful...I am lost for words..
(anyway I am a rider and I am definitely not manly.. --')

Absolutely amazing. I love how you drew the characters as you imagined them, not as how they are in the movie. Your watercolor details are amazing; I especially adore the hair and the way you give Eowyn highlights/shading in her hair and make the whole thing look just... natural. True; her neck is a tad bit long but previous commentors have mentioned that many times, but I didn't really notice all that much at first because I was so busy noticing all the other wonderful details 2

I like her long neck, it looks very elegant, like a swan. Between that and the wild, intense look in her eyes, her appearance seems to have a delicate balance between masculine and feminine that is very appropriate for her character and personality.

whoa... your style just blows me away.... i'm completely obsessed with eowyn and everything about her, and i've never, ever, ever, yet found another artist who does her as well as you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

and i don't agree about the neck comment above. it looks okay. She bent over, kinda, cause she's feeling a lot of things, and its scary... and she's acknoweledging aragorn, as well, so it would kind of be like a half-bow. i dunno, but it works.
and, yeah, why is everyone staring at them??? that's kinda weird, but oh well.

acctually, what i was going to say, was i thought that maybe the Stirrup-cup was from the scene at Harrowdale??? i dunno, maybe im confused. i'd like to think i know most stuff about lotr (well, at least about this kind of stuff. i detest all elves with a passion,and have yet to read the silmarillion, because i hate elves and don't care about the valar.) but do more Eowyn art!!!!!!!! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaase??????????? THANKS SO MUCH

Get away from him!! he is MINE!!
Actually, sadly, he is Arwen's... sob!
Beautiful picture, I love the look on her face!

wow this picture is beautiful, i love the way you have not shown aragorn’s face, it creates mystery to the peice and from the way he is poised you can see that he is not comfortable with the situation. i can picture being in that scene and i thank you for coming onto elfwood you realy are a blessing.
