Sketch: Tolkien as Warrior Dane

OK, he maybe looks more like Magneto as a Warrior Dane, plus I realize now that I put the scabbard on the wrong side, and the viking-brooch is too centered... but oh well. I threw this together in 5-10 minutes for a blog post on Tolkien's translation of Beowulf. The translation will be published later this spring, so I'll hopefully find time for a more polished tribute picture before then!
