The Death of Theodred, pt.3 // “Let me lie here- to keep the Ford until Eomer comes.” These were Prince Theodred’s last words, as he lay dying on the battlefield. Here, in our vision of his funeral, Eomer says a final farewell to Theodred before the burial. Simbelmyne here is also pictured growing from the grass, as it was a flower often found on the tombs of Rohirric kings. The flower itself refers to the legacy and memories of those who have passed. Growing up together, the late prince loved his cousin Eomer as a true brother...and although there isn’t too much about Theodred as a character written by the great Tolkien (as the character was already dead during the time of The Lord of the Rings), many inferences can be made about his life and relationships. Thank you to the @fellandfair team for being so passionate, creative, and respectful to this universe. I’m so floored by the dedication and love put behind every detail. Credit goes to @posewigs for Theodred’s wig! ❤️ Editing this piece felt somber, especially since the source material is so dear to my heart. I’m still not exactly the best at compositing large images- but I’m feeling bolder about approaching such aesthetics now! A piece like this can take about 8 hours to put together- but it’s worth it due to the amount of detail retained. Toned with the help of my “Renaissance” action now available at @fineartactions , and topped off with @infinitecolorpanel and @infinitetexturepanel 🌹
