Description An illustration of Freyja for my oldest friend. She's a Norse-Pagan and Freyja is the deity she works with the most. She requested I do this and I tried my best to do her as much justice as possible.  I tried to go with a more...historically accurate depiction of her, wearing the kinds of clothes they would have worn then.

I love that you incorporated her sacred animal (the cats) in to the piece.

This is probably the best drawing of Freyja I have ever seen
I really love the historically accurate portrait, especially that you also drew the cats and the cloak
I also like that the source of light is behind her, which supports her appearance !
Great job !

Do those cats get big and pull her chariot later on? xD

This is gorgeous. It is fitting of the goddess. She is beautiful to be sure, but more than that... she looks like a woman of power. She is strong, not just some waifu of some dude. No, she holds power in her own right, and this piece does that justice.
Green was a great choice of eye colour, and her colour scheme is good. Not too plain, but not too extraordinary either. The cats are just so fluffy looking! I like that you brought in her feather cloak, as many others forget to do... But most of all, I am impressed with her outfit. You went with accurate historical clothing for her, and I don't think you could have done a much better job with it.  The features she has also makes her look very scandinavian.

This is wonderful and a much more accurate depiction than about 99% of all other Freyja pictures I've ever seen. Your focus on her strength instead of her beauty only gives her a much more divine feeling. I just wish you had included Brisingamen.
