Had to look up the information on the Horn of Gondor.

From The Return of the King, “Minas Tirith”:

“I have recieved this,” said Denethor, and laying down his rod he lifted from his lap the thing that he had been gazing at. In each hand he held up one half of a great horn cloven through the middle: a wild-ox horn bound with silver.

“That is the horn that Boromir always wore!” cried Pippin.

“Verily,” said Denethor. “And in my turn I bore it, and so did each eldest son of our house, far back into the vanished years before thr failing of the kings, since Vorondil father of Mardil hunted the wild kine of Araw in the far fields of Rhûn.”

And then in Appendix A.I.ii, in a footnote on the steward “Vorondil the Hunter” (father of Mardil; Mardil was the first ruling Steward of Gondor):

The wild white kine that were still to be found near the Sea of Rhûn were said in legend to be descended from the Kine of Araw, the huntsman of the Valar, who alone of the Valar came often to Middle-earth in the Elder Days. Oromë is the High-elven form of his name.

Another seven 🌼 The handsome guys never quite turn out the way I want, it's so much easier to draw orcs and creatures...

Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings (that means after Easter). But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on [email protected] :^)

Goldberry isn't taken yet!

The prices are from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). And same as last year with the dog drawings this year also all the earnings will be sent to charities.

More characters here and here!

A mile, maybe, from Parth Galen in a little glade not far from the lake he found Boromir. He was sitting with his back to a great tree, as if he was resting. But Aragorn saw that he was pierced with many black-feathered arrows; his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt; his horn cloven in two was at his side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet.

Do you think Boromir tried to protect Faramir from their father’s wrath when they were kids? Do you think when Faramir scraped his knee Boromir tried to make him laugh to distract him because he knew their father would come to chastise Faramir for weakness?

Do you think the golden boy of Gondor had to grow up too fast because his father didn’t know how to treat him like a child?

I just love how Tolkien averted the “jealous brother/brotherly rivals” stereotype with Boromir and Faramir.

Denethor has major “parental preference” issues - he has never made any effort to hide the fact that Boromir is his favorite and he thinks Faramir is mediocre by comparison.

But Faramir never resents Boromir for this, nor does Boromir ever look down on Faramir because of his dad’s views. They unconditionally love and support each other, and know each other’s true worth. Faramir is very aware of Boromir’s shortcomings and is quick to understand his struggle with the Ring, but it doesn’t make him love Boromir any less. And for all his worship of his father, Boromir never agrees with his viewpoint on Faramir and instead sees Faramir’s real value and makes sure to always let him know it.

It’s really beautiful.

If I had a nickel for everytime a Hobbit gained the trust of a king only to disobey him for the greater good I would have 3 nickles which is not a lot but it's definitely showing a pattern and its all Gandalf's fault
