one of my favourite scenes, the nazgul king attacking the king on his white horse snowmain. incidently nazguls dont really have arms, as they are large carion birds but i just love how arms give a dragon more character so i coudnt resist.

Er-Murazor is the Witchking's real name.

The witch king's real name is Murazor and he was once a great king of Numenor.

I love the picture. I like the idea of make the Carrion Bird (Fell Beasts) like a dragon and nice idea of how to make the Witch-King appear as kind of a dark rouge rather than a shadow with a humaniod form.

On the Witch-King's name, his real name is Tindomul (Elfvish for "Twilight Son"). His Numenorean title was Er-Murazor (Elfish for "The Black Prince"). He recieved the name of Witch-King after he became a Nazgul and gained rule over the land of Angmar. Also, he is the youngest son of the 11th Numenorean King, King Tar-Ciryatan and the younger brother of Tar-Atanamir the Great, 12th King of Numenor.

Again, great picture. I hope you do more pictures of the Witch-King and the other Nazgul.

Really nice picture.
I really like the way the background is red around the nazgul and his..."bird", and blue around Theoden and his horse. I read some of the comments, and you said that you liked the nazgul better with a cloak than with armour. Why didnt you just draw him like that? I mean, you already changed the Bird, and added arms! (Really nice arms by the way)Why is the nazgul left handed?
Again, really nice picture!

The Nazgul are the nine, not their steeds. The creatures they ride on are fell beasts
Pretty coool. Actually no. The only thing I really liked was your interpretation of the Witch-king. One of my fave characters

Brilliant Detail but YOU HAD BETTER NOT KILL THE HORSEY!
Sorry, lost my head a mo
Love the picture and i like the arms idea it certainly gives the creature more character.

Cool...I was sure "Nazgul" technically referred to the Black Riders and not their steeds. I just about cried when Theoden died after all he had to go through. You did an awesome job with this picture.
