Description
The first film of the well-known trilogy The Lord of the Rings came out in theaters nearly ten years ago. I was too little at that time, I think, to get emotionally involved into. Yet I had read the books (skipped a few description paragraphs, but read it indeed). I was seeking more fun, more adventures, less talking and ...yeah, less elvish riddles XD And honestly, I wasn't into hobbits that much XD
Sooooooooo, my point is, I've never watched the Fellowship of the Ring again until now. Yes it's possible. Oh, buying the DVD helped surely *grins* But I was too lazy to do so until now, and honestly, I remembered the first film as beeing quite boring. Oh how I was wrong . It's boring for a eleven years old girl and it's boring when you have to sit down the whole three hours to watch it (like in cinemas), but when you can stop and watch it bit by bit, it's WONDERFUL!
I'm captivated by the images (landscapes, shots, the whole thing), and that's all the more true I've known John Howe's work for a long time (he's amazing. I mean, he draws well, he sketches über-well, he's an art genius but I also agree with many of his ideas and point of views).

Of course, my favorite character came out to be Boromir. First, he's the only one - along with the hobbits- to have no "super speed", "super-stick-glowing-in-the-dark", "super strength" or "super-asset-of-doom-like-being-a long-lost-king's-heir". Careful, I have nothing against Aragorn and Legolas! (the mere thought would got me killed by fangirls anyway). I even think Legolas is quite interesting for an elf. I mean, I still burst in laughter anytime i see him walk on snow (...don't you?...but it's friggin' funny!) and he's not as passiv as many of his siblings. The elves fleeing Middle Earth has always seemed a bit of a act of cowardice to me, hee.
Aragorn was a very interesting character, until his marvelous-and-yet-doomed ancestors were thrown in the story. It's really cool for the plot, but not that much for the character as a human being. I mean, I like a character with self-taught skills, who's strong and wise not just because he is or because of his blood, but for the many things he experienced. The Aragorn at the beginning of the film looked very much like that, but alas...well. He still is cool.
Second, Boromir's a noble man inside, with great ideals. And a great personal story too.
Third, you can't hate someone who gets owned by two hobbits while teaching them the sword. No you can't .
And darn Sean Bean for being such a good and appealing Boromir.

So, I decided to draw him, movie verse. By memory, more or less. And I also added an OC. Pretty close in lookings and personality to Asuka in fact.
I can already hear your toughts: Romance!! Romance Alert!!
Sorry to dissapoint you, but no. I imagine a whole lot of curious interest maybe between these two, but not a romance with love declarations under the moonlight/during battles/riding horses and unbreakable vows , dear God no. Any time you get much close to this, it turns Marysue-ish before you even know it.There are many fanfictions around already dedicated to that.
I rather see her as a woman who intrigues him, someone he doesn't quite know if must be considered a lady or a "fellow". I first thought of a thief girl instead of a warrior, completely exuberous and wry, with a sharp tongue, so she would have been a bit of a comic relief. You know, a cross between jack sparrow and Locke Lamora (great novel). Someone who hides her skills because it's so much fun when people underestimate her
But finally, I think the girl would perfectly complete the fellowship as a Beorning. Come to think of it, Beorn is a important second character in Bilbo the hobbit, but he's nowhere to be seen in LotR (if so I don't recall). To put it simply, Beorn's a shape shifter who transforms into a giant bear, and his lands are far far north, near Mirkwood.

It'd be quite interesting to add a skin changer to the team
She (damn her name, don't have one) would likely be a wild animal, either a wolf or a lynx I don't know yet .
So, my point was, introducing this kind of people definitely gets into the mold of LotR story and atmosphere, I think. Plus, Beornings are not very well known at the time of the war of the Ring, so it adds myyyyyyyyystery *winks winks*

Any idea for her name? (no elvish please. I mean, everybody does that, and what shape shifters would have anything to do with elves ??)Someone suggested me Grine, which is quite close to Grim in fact. Kind of desperate for a name
I re-draw her face a thousand times before being satisfied. I almost made a whole in the paper...But I'm still really pleased with how her pose came out.

Shame on me for Boromir's boots. I hadn't too much problems with his head, but the boots really bugged me. Bugged me so much that I finally put a rock in front.
Middle Earth's really cool world : you can draw rocks and grass and trees everywhere to hide anything and it will get unnoticed.
