SciFi and Fantasy Art The Witch King´s failing moment.... by Stuart Gormley


	Here is my interpretation of the final moment of the Witch King in his confrontation with Eowyn from the ever classic Return of the King by Tolkien. It was veri inspired by a black & white piece by Frazzetta drawn many, many moons ago.

6 Sep 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Anat, get over it, it's a fab pic...and an interpretation. I think it is marvelous, well done
15 Dec 2004	Holland87	Loading... The piece is neat, it's just... Eowyn was mistaken for a man, wich is kinda hard to believe here. And she was blonde.
9 May 2005	Tygerlilly	Loading... Grrrness! You people are stupid! Her hair is blonde! The black tail coming out of the back of the helmet is the helmet crest. See the blonde hair coming out behind her ear? For Christ's Sake!
10 May 2005	Adam barr	Loading... TO ALL OF YOU WHO THINK SHE HAS FEMININE FEATURES AND LONG BLACK HAIR..... LOOK AT THE PICTURE < SHE HAS BLOND HAIR TUCKED IN HER SHIRT THE BLACK HAIR IS A HORSE TAIL REPRESENTING THE RIDERS OF ROHAN, AND SKIRTS WERE COMMON fOR ewARRIORS TO WAR ESPECIALLY WHEN RIDING HORSES, ALL AND ALL TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT A GREAT PIC BEFoRE MAKING COMMENTS< WELLL DONE
21 Aug 2005	Swordsworn	Loading... Nitpicky book-canon comments aside, this is an awesome pic. The dynamic of it is awesome... I could go into a rant about book-ish stuff, but, as you said in your description, this is YOUR interpretation, it doesn't have to be exactly accurate, neh? All in all, melikes. ^_^
17 Oct 2005	Aries	Loading... Alright, she is blonde in the picture people! The black that you are seeing is most likely horse tail, and it's on the helm! Look closely. (And a skirt with a slit up the side does not restrict movement nearly was much as a prudish, no-slit skirt.) Now I've added my two cents worth with everybody else and feel much better. Okay, that's it for me. Oh yes, love this picture. And the brave expression. I love the Rohan horses on the front, too. Nice touch. Aries.
11 Apr 2006	Absolute Zero	Loading... Okay, it's a good pic. Now I've got to add my own canonical two cents. Remember, Eowyn kept her helmet on until the Witch-King gloated of how no man could kill him. Presumably, this was with a visor and the helmet down. Furthermore, only the crown of the Kings of Gondor had wings on the side, as depicted in a picture by JRRT himself. (I do, however, like the Eye icon on the Witch-King's armor.)
25 Jul 2006	Natalie Adams	Loading... OOOOHHHH WOW!! I luv that moment in the film...oh, look i can quote it: "Fool! No man can kill me..." "I am no man!" WAHOOOOOO...girl power! ahem...great picture, really luv it. I also like the way you have added some spunk onto the Witch King's robes...great touch!
13 Sep 2006	Dagasfiend	Loading... Eowyn did not kill the witch king. It was the hobbit that struck the killing blow! Stuart Gormley replies: "I'm afraid you are mistaken. Merry struck the first blow to the back of the Witch-kings leg, which dropped the Witch-king down to his knees where Eowyn was able to thrust the killing blow to the "face" of the the Witch-king with her sword!"
28 Aug 2009	Benjamin Harold Abbott	Loading... I like how the Witch-King towers over her. He looks immeasurably more imposing than the clumsy oaf from the Peter Jackson’s version. I’d prefer slightly different armor, but that’s a minor detail.
