SciFi and Fantasy Art Bór and sons by Helena Štìpánová

Bór was an easterling chieftain who joined with sons of Fëanor and fought together with them against Morgoth.
One of those relatively marginal characters that become rather fascinating with time.

I took quite a lot of liberties with the depiction. It is likely that I have taken this further to the East than Tolkien would like - but I like Easterlings and I like central/east Asian cultures - so I like to imagine my Easterlings this way.
The pic shows great inspiration in Hong Kong old-school wuxia movies - I've been kinda obsessed with Hong Kong lately...;-)
