Todays only a study and some viking cuisine. 

I've done a bunch of commissions so it's time for some fun.
Yesterday I finished painting my Loki painting, so today to chill a bit I wanted to sketch some characters from Vikings show.

A friend of mine hired me to paint an illustration for an article on Slavic warcraft. So I'll be painting a big skirmish in the woods.
There are some thumbs here.

Recently, we've had a conversation about one of my paintings I did at uni.

Bartosz gave me some very interesting and educational clues about swords and how you grip them. 

In the above image I painted the fuller ending before the hilt. In reality fullers always go under the hilt. 

Below, there are drawings of proper sword grips taken from facebook site of Dimicator.

Happy new year, folks there's been some things going on over here.

Now lets get back to my viking obsession. My piece won a first place at a Yule contest at http://www.norsemyth.org/2013/12/art-contest-adult-entries-midwinter-2013.html

So that's a nice yule gift for me.
