“Where is the horse? Where is the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
[...] They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills in the shadow. “
“Lament of the Rohirrim“, Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers, Book III chapter 6 The King of the Golden Hall, J.R.R. Tolkien
I was working on this illustration since december and I so happy to finally finish it ^^
I think, of all the cultures of Middle-Earth in the books and the movies, Rohan is my favorite (alongside the Elves of course ;-) ). When I frist saw Lord of the Rings the Towers Towers twelve years ago, the land of the Rohirrims made a such impression on me than it never leave from my heart. The music, the celtic/saxon/viking inspiration through all the visual design and of course all the characters from both the Trilogy, the Appendix or the movies...
