Description Here is a viking I painted. Or is it a Valkyrie? Hmmm. How about this, a red haired lady with a neat hat? Hurrrr........

In other news: I was thinking about starting up DA commissions, though I admit that I am a little scared to. I've only ever done face to face commissions.
If anyone has any helpful suggestions, that would be lovely!
Have a beautiful day!

Oh yeah, you can see some work in progress shots on the BLOG!! hannahchristenson.tumblr.com/

Gosh I really love the way you color! Her hair looks beautiful here and I like that there always seems to be a hint of some kind of story in many of your drawings.

The face is quite norse~
I love the hair and how it's simple yet so elegantly flowing with details ♥ I also love her feathered helmet and armor and not to forget the background gives the right nordic atmosphere c:
definitely a fav♥

Came across this on the Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor tumblr, looks good! Particularly your use of solid colors instead of relying too much on the lineart.

See i study Viking Archaeology and all the time we're reminded that Vikings didn't wear helmets with horns and wings and it still upsets me cause those helmets look bloody cool!!!

I've been working on a viking-inspired project for a long time and have studied as well(probably not near as much as you ), but I figured, to heck with it! It's far too cool to not do!

waltzinghippie [2012-02-01 20:56:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, this is just blowing my mind! I love that your work has so much movement and livelihood to it

I love her hair especially, and the braids/ties! And of course her helment is so badass! Awesome job on the features

I really love her face, too, she's got a warrior look goin on! The mountains are a really nice backdrop.

This is probably gotta be one of my favorites!

I like the ambience of this piece. I typed "Viking" in the search box and thought I'd immediately see large rugged men...that's when "she" popped up! How refreshing! Well done!
