Artist's Comments

"Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountains, like a wind in the meadow.
The days have come down in the west, behind the hills, into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?"
Aragorn - JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings Trilogy

After Gandalf,'s portrait, I wanted to draw another of my favourite characters from LOTR :) Nevertheless, his hair, facial hairs and these embroideries were an ordeal to draw and paint ^^; I became almost crazy :D

I'm so fascinated by the Kingdom of Rohan and its inhabitants, their culture, their history are so wonderful :)

Bernard Hill was truly a good choice for this character :)

And I'd like to offer this drawing to the lovely :iconpaintedonmysoul: for all her kindness :hug:
