Artistic license by the Brothers Hildebrandt, I'm sure. Even if the book has Eowyn slaying the winged beast with her helmet on, I'm glad the Hildebrandts decided to show her with her blonde hair flowing. Must more dramatic, and beautiful.

You are completely correct. A painting is a different medium from a book. One must be beautiful, the other must be logical.
