Description
The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain.

What do you fear, my lady?

A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.

You are a daughter of kings, a shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate.

A new Eowyn! I've been completely absorbed by this the last couple of days. I've always liked strong warrior women who can fight as good as men (but not when they become cheesy ) I wanted to represent that through the sweet-brier, beacuse they look beautiful and fragile, but they have thorns so beware And the Witch King is represented by the snake.

I stole the hairstyle from Snow White and the Huntsman poster because I thought it would be perfect for Eowyn. I really like that movie too btw.

It was a long time since I did anything with coloured pencils so it was nice to go back to them again. I filled in the lineart with a very thin liner. I was pretty nervous since you can't erase it, but nothing bad happened.

Here is a Lady version: :thumb158228966:
(Belongs to Tolkien of course)

And here is an interesting essay on how Eowyn is a stronger feminist character in the books than in the movies. Which is pretty strange since the books was written so long ago and the movies are "new": www.themarysue.com/the-story-o…
