“Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall.”

The challenge is now complete! It was really fun and I am happy it ‘forced’ me to draw new characters. Eomer won the poll so he got to complete the collection ✨

Karl Urban as Èomer needs to be studied. He was so handsome in this movie.

so i have a little nonsense theory about the name Dernhelm, the name used by Eowyn when she rides with the Rohirrim to Gondor in The Return of the King.

just a couple things i noticed on my read through:

the prefix 'dern' means secret or hidden (also seen in Derndingle, the location of the Entmoot).

the captain, Elfhelm, and the rest of the company 'Dernhelm' was riding with ignored her, and she rarely spoke.

the way its described in the book its implied that the captain and company were simply turning a blind eye to her coming along, however, i think that its unlikely that the men of Rohan would allow beloved Eowyn to ride to war and likely death, especially when she was supposed to be governing the people left behind in Meduseld- surely at least ONE would disagree, and then the jig would be up. additionally, why Dernhelm? its a good name, but with people who understand the meaning of the words, you might as well be calling yourself something like sneaky bill.

so here's my extravagant, unnecessary and probably incorrect proposition: the name Dernhelm is a mantle that anyone can take up when they dont want the trappings of their old name. maybe they did things in the past that they arent proud of, or maybe their family name has been somehow dishonoured, or maybe even they dont want their actions in the upcoming battle to be associated with themselves. in any case, Dernhelm is simply a name that anyone can use, and people will politely act like they do not exist, and not try to learn the name or the face behind the helm. Eowyn takes up the mantle, and can fade into the company of riders unchallenged

Éomer is the Zendaya of drawing for me. I could not for the life of me get him to look right.

Rohirrim

A sketch of Eoghan, Rider of Rohan

As far I know, there is no rider named Eoghan in the Lord of the Rings. But still, I wanted to give a name, a story to one of the Rohirrims who will answer to the King’ Call and ride across the plains of Ridermark to Dunharrow, to Minas Tirith…

To the Black Gate and the Beginning of a New Age.

éowyn absolutely swears. uncontested. she was raised around horse lovers and those fucking animals will make even the most patient lose their minds. faramir is surprised when éowyn drops a bowl of herbs or something and she just swears in the most colourful way he's ever heard a woman swear. he's kinda into it

Weekly Rohan poll!!

What's the worst thing a young Eorling rider can hear from his riding instructor? 1. With hands as hard on the bit as yours, you should have looked for an internship as a Dwarrow blacksmith instead. 2. I think your horse would have a better time being ridden by a Nazgûl. 3. You sit so heavy in the saddle, a cave troll would probably feel lighter on his poor back. 4. Shoulders back! You're so hunched, I could have confused you with Gollum for a second. 5. You seem to think that you're an Elf riding bareback. For the thousandth time, HEELS DOWN! 6. Why can't you remember the course? Have you smoked too much Hobbit leaf? 7. (Shakes head calmly.) You ride just like a Gondorian.
