Just stumbled on this - it's some very nice, somewhat generalized concepts. By that I mean that the gear doesn't appear to belong to any particular nationality - it lacks the overt motifs of the major players in the Third Age, and could easily belong to any of the clans of Men that settled in the Vales of Anduin or Eaves of Mirkwood.

This said, I'd probably convulse in sheer joy if there was a Sutton Hoo-like noble's helmet in there, possibly forged by a friendly Dwarven smith

I did a Sutton Hoo-like helmet for the dunnish a long time ago, but we decided not to go that route. The idea here was indeed something very neutral and unstylish.

Nice concepts. Your fantasy armour and weapons are great, very realistic.

I'm not sure I understood the question..
Almost everything I draw or paint for TLD is from the third age (The Last Days of the Third Age). I don't paint or draw Rohan related pictures much, because our image of the culture is pretty much done and settled...

Yes, that's what I wanted to ask, if you where doing anything about Rohan. Beside, I thought these where scketches about the First and Second age northerners. Sorry! Congratulations!
