Lord Ecthelion II of Gondor and "The Eagle of the Star".

Ecthelion II is a father of Denethor II, and grandfather of Boromir and Faramir.

Designs of the general look of soldiers (a.k.a. the extras) of the three houses of men in Beleriand around the year 455 Y.S. Will serve as cultural reference when designing the armor of the main characters from each house.

Irmo, Lord of Lórien. I just wanted to design a general look for Irmo the lord of dreams (one of my favorite Vala). Irmo is the one of the Fëanturi (along with Mandos and Nienna) who dwells in Lórien, the "fairest of all places in the world, filled with many spirits".

As lord of dreams I wanted to give him an ethereal look, his colors being silver and dark purple/black (Remember Melian who was dressed in jet-spangled and girt with silver? She got it from dwelling too much time in Lórien ). His hair is also silver and his eyes are bright like stars. A more detailed portrait pending.

Mordor`s oil is on fire! Joke). New picture. Balrogs are not visible, but they are somewhere out there. And ahead - a cruel death of the glorious warrior.
