Beowulf is very prominent in my sources of inspiration at the moment, inspired by my purchasing of a new version illistrated by the legendary John Howe and also a quick quote search through the Seamus Heaney addition, which ended up with me reading the whole book.As a reenactor himself Howe is keen on authenticity, his concept work for the Rings movies, in particular the Rohan, was wonderfull. Here he succeeds in maintaining a high level of accuracy while still imbuing his images with majesty, perfectly capturing the spirit of the tale.
