Faramir returns from battle.

Caddris (Sep 26, 2005)

"Even as the Nazgul had swerved aside from the onset of the White Rider, there came flying a deadly dart, and Faramir, as he held at bay a mounted champion of Harad, had fallen to the earth. Only the charge of Dol Amroth had saved him from the red southland swords that would have hewn him as he lay.
The Prince Imrahil brought Faramir to the White Tower, and he said: 'Your son has returned lord, after great deeds,' and he told all that he had seen. But Denethor rose and looked on the face of his son and was silent."
From "The Seige of Gondor," Book V of The Return of the King, part III of The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

I'd hate to do the MLA citation for that one. Anyway, this is my favorite scene from all of my favorite books. It's very well written. You start to feel for Denethore and he becomes more faceted. Don't get me started on the movie version. . . in my opinion they completely butchered this part. They replaced Imrahil with a bloody horse! *grumble grumble* Anyway, I'll spare you my diatribe. Denethor and Imrahil are next.
Referenced from a drawing I did in one of my sketch books (it looks so much better there).

it looks good.. but your grays kind of blend together... kind of monotone... maybe adding more white to them?
i dunno.. but i really love this and still think it looks like eisman's work. very nice.

sorry, I revised it again, there were these small little flaws that probably no one else noticed, that I had to fix.

Great mood, composition, colors, everything. :-) I'd like the same too, Goodbye. Our own personal favorites would be a cool thing to have here. :-)
