Description
The first of hopefully many illustrations of "Bored of the Rings," by the Harvard Lampoon.
"Bored of the Rings" is a parody of "Lord of the Rings," but not the movies; written in 1969, BOTR spoofs Tolkien's original books, and with a 1960s twist.
This is Eorache, a combination spoof of Eowyn, Eomer and Theodyn. Eorache, daughter of Eorlobe (and niece of Eodrum) is the leader of Roi Tan, a kingdom of sheep-riding German stereotypes. Her design was tricky, because it had to be a combination of a Viking woman, a Nazi (of the "Hogan's Heroes" variety), and a general German country-girl stereotype. Much inspiration came from this older and better piece of fan-art, on the book's fan site: boredoftherings.150m.com/bored…
For the record, I do plan on submitting my fan-art to that site, assuming it's still even active. But I'll wait till I have some of the other characters drawn.
I do not own "Bored of the Rings."
