Weird, maybe, but interesting to see the Conan artist's vision of Middle-earth http://io9.com/5911710/frank-frazett...o-middle-earth

Can't help wondering about his conception of the Rohirrim if that is Eowyn disguised as a man

He gave Eowyn some nice...ummm...attributes.

Rather funny how he gave Conan-like muscles to the orcs.

And I do believe that he thought of Eowyn's armour as "femail."
