Yep, the valkyrie painting is done . I entered this for a contest over at Epilogue. It depicts a Valkyrie on her silver steed on a war-torn land. The butterfly she is looking at is the manifestation of a soul of warriors who died on the battlefield. So, this picture has a combo of norse myth (valkyrie), greek myth (pegasus) and japanese myth (spirit butterfly), hohoho
My original plan for this is a more complex, epic landscape pic depicting the legend of valkyries leading the souls of brave norse warriors, who died on the battlefield, towards Valhalla (Norse myth heaven) so that they can fight for the gods. But, erm, I got lazy and tone down the scope...
Thank you hi-i . I used a wacom intuos 2 tablet and photoshop 7. Metallic looks can be gotten by painting the bright spots at the places where the lights reflect from it to your eyes. (These spots are also called "specular reflections" in 3D terminology)
One of these days, I'll prolly do a piece of a whole fleet of valkyries and pegasii (or are they pegasuses??) descending through the clouds from Valhalla. Thanks for the fave

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
