I like the picture but the phallic and vaginal images are so easy to see. From the phallic towers on Minas Tirith--reminds of the Little Mermaid Cover-- to the vaginal opening of the fell beast to the inverted delta of Eowyn chain mail around her pelvis. No doubt many will say I read to much into a simple picture, but when you consider the subject matter, a woman disguised as a man, with the symbols of male power--a sword--is attack by a potent image of male power the WitchKing (interesting how his name is even a mixture of opposing gender specific nouns) this picture begs for a freudian reading.

Go ahead tell flame away.

(Remember a Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.)

Interesting interpretation of the scene! I could see how it would be easy to fall into John Howe's painting but the artist didn't at all. Very original.

Gastbona... But at the Freudian slip bit.

Odd perspective, I'm not sure I like it, but points for a unique take on this image.
