Description Éowyn, Éowyn, White Lady of Rohan, in this hour I do not believe that any darkness will endure!' And he stooped and kissed her brow. And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air.

I have finished it faster than I thought... I quite like the colours, but still, there are some things, I'm not really fond of, and they look better on the sketch. But I hope, you'll like this version too^^. You can find the sketch here>> [link]

November 2007 - EDIT : what a simple little texture can do to a drawing, well, well... Sorry for spamming, but I simply had to share this old/new version

"I have you wished you joy since first I saw you." Like Aragorn, that was my wish for Éowyn. At the end, I was happy with her fate because she found Faramir and his noble and tender heart. And that reminds me that, even in the darkest hour, we can find happiness.

I like your rendition. Dunedain men are supposed to be clean-shaven after the Elven tradition since Elves cannot grow beard.

This is so pretty!
I am such a HUGE "Lord of the Rings" fan, and it sucked in the third movie that they didn't add Faramir and Eowyn's budding romance. Thank you for posting this!

I like the colors and texture very much. They make this look rather old and ancient, I think, which is good. The addition of the stars embroidered on Eowyn's cloak is nice too. Thanks for sharing this.

Hi!
I was wondering if it would be ok for me to use your beautiful art to decorate the community layout for starrymantle, a Faramir and Eowyn fan community ([link] )? I would credit you as the artist of course. Please let me know if that is ok

Hi,

sure thing, if you need a better quality copy, let me know. However, I wish, I could give you something better than this picture.

This one was done with Acrylics in Painter8. But I don't use acrylics any more - they're hard to get a good contrast with.

Very beautiful picture. :] Eowyn and Faramir were always my favorite couple (after Celeborn and Galadriel; you should do a pic of them too!). And I wish Mr. Tolkien wrote more on their romance then the little excerpt they got.

Anyways, lovely picture! :]

Czy mi się wydaje, czy to faktycznie jakby mocniejsze, a kontury bardziej wyraziste?

Generalnie kontrast się zwiększył dzięki dodanej teksturze. No i kolory nieco.
