Turin Sketch

A sketch of Turin Turambar from Tolkien's "Children of Hurin".

Ok, I know almost none my friends know what anything I'm about to say means. And the most intelligent thing they've said about The Lord of The Rings is: *points ata picture of Dobby* That's the thing from the Lord of The Rings right? The one that tries to eat hobbits?
But I do know there are some awesome folk here on DeviantART who are real Tolkien fans.
(And are capable of telling the difference between Dobby and Gollum... And that he doesn't eat hobbit-ses...hahah)

So... This is my version of Turin, around the time when he was travelling in the wild with Beleg and group of other Men.
I gave him a hairstyle sort of between those worn by Men and by Elves, since he's a Man, but spent most of his life in Doriath and Thingol's foster son.
Also...he has a beard, because I don't think anyone gives a crap about shaving when they're in the wild.
