Done for the ArtOrder challenge.
A depiction of the confrontation between Eowyn and the Nazgul (The Lord of the Rings, of course).

Allegorical interpretation once again, inspired to Renaissance painters, in particular to Caravaggio.

Your Witch-King is awesome, although I'm not really a fan of the semi-naked Eowyn.

Heh, this is definitely Renaissance, especially with clothes that mysterious seem to fail on the heroine. Mind you, that actually in a way makes her more badass, she slay a dragon with only a cloak covering her body.

Very nice piece, you really captured the scene and the art era.

this is pure and utter genius, but didn't the book describe the witch king as having a face made of flame? maybe im just remembering it wrong

I don't remember it being made of flame, it was just "a big mace" if I also remember correctly. It's been a while.

I wasn't talking about his weapon, I was talking about what he was supposed to look like under his mask/helmet...or am I thinking about the guy known as the 'Voice of Sauron'?

oh, there was nothing visible under his armor. He was an invisible/intangible entity of sorts. Perhaps only his glowing eyes could be seen in the dark (if I remember correctly)
