Another week of work on this one.
This second version is closer to what I had in mind originally. I wanted a pose that would show Eowyn’s expression. I also like how she is standing between the Beast and the fallen king.
I also fixed a few issues with the previous version, such as a more dramatic sky, the shadow of a Mumakil in the background to better suggest the battle, the lower limbs on the Beast and the White Horse of Rohan on her shield.
The exercise of redoing a picture like this was more painful than I expected, but it was also gratifying.
