Description I got the idea for this while on a trip touring colleges.  It is basically in representation of a commonly depicted Viking burial - lighting a ship on fire with the deceased on it.  But I decided to add onto it by including a little fantasy mix to it.  The blue glows are meant to represent the souls of a person.  The figures to the right are suppose to be mourners, honoring their fallen comrade or kinsman (which every one you wish it to be).  

This one definitely proved to be a challenge.  The hardest part was determining how I should do the glow for the "souls".  There were many choices to possibly use, but I wanted something that would make it glow in a way.  After much thinking, I settled with the standard blue that appears.  

Do be sure to say what you think of it.  I always love to heard you guys' feedback.    It really helps.

I like it! A very evocative drawing, and the colors work well.

Good luck on your college search, btw

I thought that looked like a Viking burial.  Nicely done.

I know very little about them.  I do know that they were the first Europeans to discover the Americas.

Their culture is still very much a mystery to us, in truth.  But they helped carve history, that's for sure.
