This viking woman sobs tearfully at her sword, bruised and bloodied by the torments of battle. She is covered in filth and grime. Her light hair falls in locks around her shoulders. Each detail of this image is carefully placed and the model is a fine actress. We can sense that this woman has just avenged many of her fellow vikings, many of whom have fallen to the great battles of the night.
This is a piece by Rebecca Magar and intends to portray a Valkyrie similar to the one portrayed by Tessa Thompson in Thor: Ragnarok. We love the somewhat impressionistic style of this piece, with smooth lines and excellent blending of colors. The viking woman’s golden hair stands out against the dark sky while accentuating the sun above.

We loved the character development in this female viking. Looking in her downcast eyes, you can tell she holds a dark and complex history. We also believe the fire in the corner, and the blustering winds surrounding her, indicate she may be in the midst of a battle.
