SciFi and Fantasy Art: Joukahainen

My all-time favourite character in Kalevala, finnish folk mythology. I'm quite happy with the picture, although I will most likely do the background and rest of the character in the near future. And I suppose more finnish folk mythology characters will follow...

More like finnish national-romantic demeanor heritage of stiff, blank expressions and stocky, fixed postures.

Maybe You can also tell the histories of the characters.. Mythology is something to marvel..

I dont like this picture at all.It has no life,no flame.How could someone put this in a popular web site,concearning a theme i particularly,enjoy very much!I have a suggestion:Watch "braveheart" or "the first knight",in order to make something better.The picture looks like amateur work,i would say,even worse than that!See you!

:-) Jari K. Pitkä replies: "Well, this is an amateur gallery anyway, so...But I'm not entirely satisfied to it either - definetely Kalevala has nothing to do with Braveheart or similar! At least not mine is, I hope they never fiddle around with the subject in Hollywood..."

I am finallly reading the Kalevala now. I've wanted to for a very long time but never had the time. And I say this is one really cool picture of Joukahaien. I love the style.2 I thought he had a crossbow though. But longbow is really is really cool as well. In fact seems to make more sense in my opinion.2

Like I said before this is great.2
And he is supposed to look like the way he does because thats the style.
I personally admire this kind of style very much. Art like this has a higher standing with the dinvine realty. Then the more realistic stuff.
I wish I was better so I could draw like this.2 Og by the way I've read the Kalevala and it was beautiful.
I hope they never fool around with it in hollywood either.2
