Wow, this is awsome! I personally didn't like the movie Eowyn, she was all-"Aragorn I want to shag you right now" like. I need to get my books back so I can read Return of the King. I luff her lips, btw XD

Eowyn kicks arse! I actually did like her in the movie, and this pose reminds me of when she was moving through forms and Aragorn snuck up behind her and she still managed to block him. Very cool. Again with the ghosty image thing. This one is just below her right arm. I actually kind of like it just as it is, though, without any color. Usually I'm not a fan of black and white, but in this one, it just works.
This is a beautiful picture of her. I love the detail on the sword and her outfit. And for once she doesn't look old and haggard cuz that's what people normally do and in the book she's quite youthful. This definitely captures her youth and innocence but she also has an edge.
It's really interesting, how fantasy-style costumes are all sort-of period costumes. With the lacing up and the V shape on the bottom of the bodice, it almost looks 18th century, then it's got those great bell sleeves that make it fantasy =)
Her posture seems very natural, she's not stiff at all or anything. I find it really hard to draw "natural" looking people.
Eowyn IS the best and I will personally challenge anyone who dares say otherwise!!! She's like me but cool--I mean, we both have swords and know that Aragorn is ... well, cute. :) This is a really nice picture, i like the paper you used for it and the pose is too awesome! You drew her hair really well too--it looks slightly tossled, which believe me is how your hair looks when you're busy playing with your swords! (don'tyouDAREmakethatcommentdirty!)
