"Where did you learn such tales, if all the land is empty and forgetful?" asked Peregrin. "The birds and beasts do not tell tales of that sort."
"The heirs of Elendil do not forget all things past," said Strider; "and many more things than I can tell are remembered in Rivendell."
"Have you often been to Rivendell?" said Frodo.
"I have,' said Strider. "I dwelt there once, and still I return when I may. There my heart is; but it is not my fate to sit in peace, even in the fair house of Elrond."

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


So, this is what "my" Aragorn has looked like for more than twenty-five years. And Viggo didn't go down without a fight, I can tell you. When I drew this, "Hidalgo" was on TV. Didn't avail him anything, however. :D (Still, good movie.)

Tutorial of this can be found here! [link]

Watercolour on cold-press paper. A3 size.

I love this take on Aragorn! And I very much approve the lack of bread ;)

*sets about to replace movie-indused image* I much prefer this.

Lack of bread can be a good thing. :D

I thought something looked strange. Perhaps he is low-carbing :nod:

Ah! This is closer to how I pictured him, too. :D

STRIDER! I love Viggo as Aragorn because in my mind at least he did Aragorn justice but your picture is how I originally saw Strider when I was six years old - My Dad didn't want to read me bedtimes stories about Snow White or Cinderella, he started reading me Tolkien as soon as he possibly could.

Lol. It'll probably be what I do with my kids when I have them. LOTR has far more morals and strong messages about loyalty and friendship than any old fairy tale.
