    This was mainly inked while sitting behind the table in the art show at Dragon*Con in late summer, and then finished up in the studio. Two different brushes were used: a #2 for the mainline, and a 10/0 for the finer detail. Both hawk- and crow-quills were utilized for the extra fine lines.

    Originally, this was meant to be a rendition of Eowyn (from J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tome), but I liked the idea of the darker hair on the figure, so in the process, it has become a female warrior. Name her what you will.

    I don't have a clue how long this took to finish, as it was part of a week long inking marathon of ten finished pencil images that have been hanging around the art board (some for as long as a year). All of these are spec pieces, done in-between assignments.

Awsome!
great details, the markings on the horse look brilliant!

BTW I think you mean 'Tome' rather than 'Tomb'

Thanks, Mortis.
You are absolutely correct in the spelling, although some would consider Tolkiens works to be a "tomb." I tried to get my brother to read the "Fellowship of the Ring" once, and he never finished it, saying the book just about killed him...

Anyway, corrections been made. :D

A beautiful piece! The anatomy of horse and woman are wonderful, and the linework-shading is very enjoyable. =)

I like this. I love Eowyn (even though you don't name her this). This is a really great pic of a 'shield maiden'.

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.
