First, there's the awesome tumblr blog Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor. Exactly what it says on the tin.


That blog lead me to this challenge at ArtOrder, which hosted a massive art challenge (everyone do the same scene from the same book! Interpret as you like) that resulted in 160 different artists' renditions of the Eowyn Vs. Witch-King scene from LOTR. Most of them are beautiful in one way or another, and when you get to look at that many interpretations of the same scene all at once, it really brings out the richness of fiction and the visual/symbolic imagination. Looking at a few is really fun, but looking at them all, which I did over the course of about two days, is actually mind-expanding.

(She's wearing reasonable armor in almost all of them, except for one that is, shall we say, an artistic choice I find rather odd.)

In the one by Gordon Napier, Éowyn looks exactly like the singer/guitarist from G's new metal band if she had blonde hair. I duly facebooked it at her.
