Hagar never looked like this! She isn't just gorgeous, I'd say breathtaking.

Thanks for the kind words... and that's probably why he was known as 'Hagar the Horrible'

Unfortunately viking barbie is off raiding with viking ken and wont be back for some time. Hopefully I'll catch up with them when they have finished their world pillaging tour and maybe do something then

most vikings were clean shaved. or had very short beards... why provide a nice handle on their faces...?

MinorTechnicality In reply to Loopydave [2010-09-07 15:38:59 +0000 UTC]

Didn't you know? Less armor = more distraction.. if they're distracted by body parts, they can't hit you.

Plus I'm reading a novel, and the viking type people in it believe armor is a coward's implement.. then again i think shields were too so she'd be trying to balance it out if she were in that universe. lol

This particular AEGIS is some kind of engineering product - it would probably work for a mercenary company as well though!

She is quite perfect, but somehow I mentally add an eye-patch a la Tom Cruise....ya know Valkyrie....superior work even among your very high standard work

Loopydave In reply to Kebeca1690 [2010-02-04 00:30:05 +0000 UTC]

Dammit, an eyepatch would have been awesome!!! Not sure the client would have gone for it, even if I had the creative insight to think of it during the sketching phase. Brilliant idea though! Oh, and thanks for the nice words!

Kebeca1690 In reply to Loopydave [2010-02-04 00:45:13 +0000 UTC]

So glad you like it,

I find myself quite seduced by the whole Valkirie myth, if I say "Helicopter and Bunnies in Apocalypse Now"

Maybe put a lil Valkyrie in them bunnies?
