Nice. 
Although I always think Minas Tirith is represented a bit wrong in illustrations and in PJ's films and here.
Its too tall and thin.
I think the lower circles should be much wider, the city should go up and back from the front gate, with each circle being fairly wide, in PJ's some of the circles of the city are only a single street wide.

Yeah, I read the write up from the guy who made it & he said, he made it out of a LOTRs book, (RoTK) So I guess with limited supply of paper to work with, this was the best he could do ? Certainly 100% better than I could ever do !

Waitaminnit, that's Brunhilde [not Eowyn] by Arthur Rackham, from Wagner's Ring.
The grey horse Grani is called Grane in that version... I think.

Oh I see.
My poetic license went through the washer and dryer and got all mangled. I'm still waiting for a new one in the mail.
Drat those meandering mail corbies!

I thought those pics were much,much better. (better than peejeers weirdness) Its funny how something that looks old & medieval, even Faerie like, makes you feel toasty & warm ? secure even ?

Grane is, yes... but he's not with Brunhilde in that piece. He is in other Rackhamian paintings however. Like this...
http://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_305963/Arthur-Rackham/Brunhilde-with-her-horse-at-the-mouth-of-the-cave
Sorry I don't know how to do the magic to just make the picture appear.
By the way 'oil on canvas' [at the link]? I very much doubt that. Rackham was a watercolour man in general.
