Something I've been working on for quite a while. Many hours spent. I've been learning patience on this one. If I find something to adjust, I'll upload a fixed version. But I have to take a break from this.

-----------------

"A southern Gondorian noble is ambushed by a Harondor (north Haradrim) raiding party.
To the left is a Karka cavalryman - Karka is probably a name derived from Carca in Quenya and it means "fang". Young warriors trying to prove themselves join the light Karka cavalry to serve as scouts and raiders. To the right is an officer of a heavy infantry regiment. Archer from the same regiment is hesitant to take a shot as he might hit his friends."

Very nice. Now draw the Gondorians owning EVIL. ><

OMG, I can't begin to describe how incredibly awesome this picture is!! *bounces up and down happily* I love all of your LotR-related drawings, and especially those of the Haradrim, but I think this might be my favorite of all so far! It's simply an amazing piece. I love the expression on the Gondorian's face. And the Haradrim's horse is magnificent, his pose and his eyes and everything.

As always, tremendous job with the armor and the clothing! I always have a lot of appreciation for that in your works. This is an instant fav in my book. :)

Very good - much prefer your Gondorian design to that seen in PJ's films :)
:iconmerlkir:
Thank you, I prefer it myself. ;)

Thanks! I find it really hard to get back to a piece I've already spent more than 9 hours on. Don't know why, I'm probably an impatient hasty youth. :D
