Maedhros and Fingon, fighting I guess? I wanted to practise designing fantasy armour and weapons. The armour was somewhat inspired by the style of Fire Emblem although I added many of my own touches.
In Maedhros’ armour especially I considered the elves’ relationship with nature which is quite a prominent theme in the books, so I incorporated a leafish design into his armour. His shield meanwhile was actually inspired by the Jackson films. Being as strong as he is I imagine he would be more of a heavier armour type, although not so heavy that it completely slows him down (looking at you every RPG game ever made... -_- ). Fingon meanwhile is wearing lighter armour but carrying a heavier sword, mainly because I have a guilty pleasure for over the top weapons :p
While I have been practising armour design however, I clearly haven't been practising anatomy because a lot of it looks quite bad in places >-< My background is nothing special either but considering I’m not a landscape artist, it feels like a masterpiece at my skill level.
Anyways I hope you can look past some of the flaws (as well as the horrible scanning) and enjoy :)
