I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
Process of my latest rookanis piece!
Original piece and thoughts under the cut ✨
As usual I've struggled with faces, it took a ton of attempts to get either of them right (all not included lmao, trust me, I struggled). Sometimes I overworked the rendering - most notably her hair. Chiara's hair is straight and the woman in the ref has curly hair, I kept overdoing the details in ways that didn't make sense. I wish the final result was closer to his style but alas, I can try that again in a new piece!
When I overwork pieces of a painting, I rather paint the area flat and try again from scratch than trying to fix the existing rendering. By doing it a second time I try to make each brushstroke more deliberate so that I need fewer moves to show what I want. Treat that first attempt as a test run, trust yourself that you'll do better the second time around.
When I was first scrounging around for Bradthirst material, I came across these pieces by @anonmarleighdourif (humanpincushion on DeviantArt). They have an incredible talent for capturing his likeness, especially the eyes.
So lush, these are a huge inspiration for me. I just want to stare at them all day long.

Couldn't resist sketching this awful X-Files prettyboy as Saint Sebastian! The pose reference is from Yukio Mishima posing for Kishin Shinoyama, plus bits from this photoset.
