Gwinieth for @finchlette. Thanks for commissioning me!

Dúnedain from the South and from the North. Of course, they're Boromir and Aragorn.

Boromir: Following my idea of a Byzantine Gondor, his clothing and equipment is mostly byzantine. The long padded jacket is a Kavadion, the sword is a stylized spathion, the shield is also supposed to be byzantine. The bracers aren't byzantine, of course, since I inspired them from the ones in the movies.

Aragorn/Strider: Aragorn before the reforging of Andúril and the creation of the Fellowship of the Ring. The interesting part about this illustration are his clothes and his sword (which isn't Andúril, of course). His clothes are based on a byzantine fresco depicting Saint Mercurius, with little changes I made here and there. The sword is a paramerion, a byzantine saber. The only thing isn't from the fresco is the bow and arrow.

‘What!’ cried Bilbo. ‘You can’t tell which parts were mine, and which were the Dúnadan’s?’ ‘It is not easy for us to tell the difference between two mortals,’ said the Elf. ‘Nonsense, Lindir,’ snorted Bilbo. ‘If you can’t distinguish between a Man and a Hobbit, your judgement is poorer than I imagined. They’re as different as peas and apples.’ ‘Maybe. To sheep other sheep no doubt appear different,’ laughed Lindir. ‘Or to shepherds. But Mortals have not been our study. We have other business.'
