“Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Eowyn, do you not love me?”

I almost completely re-arranged his face that I initially drew, because it didn’t look like how I imagined him in the book.

Also because it somehow still looked a bit like movie Faramir, despite never using him as a reference? I honestly don’t know how I managed that

“All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.”

“What do you fear, lady?” he asked.

“A cage,” she said. “To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

I drew my version of book Faramir, so had to do my girl Eowyn as well. I wanted her to look depressed, sad and angry, so hopefully I accomplished that.

A final parting

“I did not come for presents. I only wished to have a look at you and see if you were truly as great as tales say. I did not believe them.”

“Do you now?” said the dragon somewhat flattered, even though he did not believe a word of it.

“He is not here; he has risen!”

Luke 24:6

All the symbolism I used in this piece-

Matthew 28:1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb

Matthew 3:16- As soon as Jesus was baptised, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him

Matthew 13:45-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it

John 19: 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on his head

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree”

Hosea 14: 5-6 I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon; his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive

Genesis 8: 11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth

The Blind Prince is back! So I figured I should finish this drawing that’s been in my WIPs for like 8 months

“And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.”

Current wip- literally just realised I forgot her earring 😮‍💨 at least I caught it before I finished it, then I would have been really annoyed
