Eowyn and the Nazgul Challenge: Reference

Okay, here are the last of the reference shots. I first tried posing my wife as Eowyn, but I failed at communicating what pose I wanted. Also, both my wife and I actually know how to fight with a sword and shield and though she posed in the correct stance, it didn't look visually 'right'. So I donned my old Ren Faire gear and struck a pose. Or two. (Please ignore the half-finished state of my house! Chez Mike shall be a mansion one day.....)
Eowyn. I'll need to alter some shadows but this came out almost perfect.

The Nazgul. I'll need to alter this one a lot because he's mounted. The scabbard will be a mace.

The final step is to print these out and piece it all together. Underpainting starts tonight. Wish me luck!
