Beren sketches
Beren was a little harder for me to draw, mainly because he's such a conflicted character. He's supposed to be this big, strong warrior who's supposed to overcome the odds and win the heart of the fair maiden, but when it comes down to the crucial moment, he's pretty much powerless. So I wanted to go for a physically strong vibe, but with a helplessness to him too. And he has to be pretty good looking dude for Luthien to fall in love with him on sight, so that was one of the aspects I considered too (heh, heh, heh).
I based his costume on the Japanese ninja and warrior costumes I sourced. I like that while the silhouette is strong and distinctive while he is standing up, the softness of the pants give a sense of vulnerability when he's slumped in despair as well.
