Description
It's a Viking with a big axe.This was illustrated for part of an advertising campaign for the PC game Dark Age of Camelot.
Created mostly with acrylic, a little bit of oil on top in the detailed areas and a some colored pencil linework.
*** I have archival PRINTS in stock of many of my works. Please feel free to send a note if there is a particular one that interests you.

Now, that is a viking! I was browsing in the search of a picture of a viking WITHOUT those damned horns on the helmet (I feel so sorry for those guys, who has major viking-tattoos, picturing them with horned-helmets. How wrong that is). Back to your painting; fantastic. It is beautifully done, of course, but there are so many layers to it; is he watching his done deeds or is he waiting for the right moment before he throw himself into battle, or...?
Your use of colours is very "dreamy" - it reminds me of the Valérian and Laureline comics, drawed by Jean-Claude Mézières.
It ignites ones fantasy instantly!

I love this, he looks SO Viking... his stance and weapons and everything. I love how you work with your media, it always turns out really well and it must be really difficult!
