The Children of Hurin Poster

Published:

Description

This is my Version of "The Children of Hurin".  I have several elements from the story in it. Unfortunately I was not able to include every character that I wanted.  (I really wanted to put either Labadal or Findulas in there some place).  but I did not end up finding room for them.  here's a Break down of it. Starting from the Top we have Morgoth and Hurin.  It is the scene where Morgoth gives Hurin the vision of the Gods and curses his family.  The center artwork is obviously Turin fighting Galrung.  I went for a more heroic/ standard fighting pose here for Turin.  In the book he stabs Glaurung from Underneath as he crosses a Gorge, but I just couldn't think of a good enough way to draw that and manage to showcase both Turin and Glaurung. to the Left is Thingol. and Above him is Turin's closest friend the elf Beleg.  (the left side of the poster has mostly Elves as where the Right side has Men). Melian is behind Thingol in the Frame.   below Thingol is Gwindor and in the  Frame to the Bottom Left is Mablung.  To the right of the Center Frame is Hurin and below him is Morwen and Nienor.  Brandir is in the Frame to the right of Nienor.  Its strange, but I wanted to include him. he was a character I sympathized with and had a good visual image in my  head of how i wanted to draw him.  Above Brandir in the Poster is the Death Scene of Beleg.  and also Dol Amroth and Mim the Petty Dwarf.   the bottom of the poster has Turin Falling on his sword (in an unintentionally Frank-miller-ish Silouette) with the Standing Stone Tol-Morwen in the background as the Sun sets.  I pictured that scene happening at night, but thought it would be more dramatic and symbolic if it were happening during a sunset.  and to the left of that image in the bottom left arch-way is Menegroth and the resting place of the hierlooms of the House of Hurin.  and also the sword Gurthang.(this was inspired and drawn from another Deviantartist's picture that is very similar, but I can't recall his name at the moment, If I recall it, I will give appropriate Credit).   At the very top of the poster is my Rendition of The dragon-helm.  (no gold on it I know, but this is what I pictured).  anyway hope you all enjoy this. please let me know what you all think!
