SciFi and Fantasy Art: A Hyperborean warrior

(Please read the backround in the previous drawing 'The king of Hyperborea'). This is another picture drawn by the inspiration of the third chapter of the great battle between the hyperborean empire & the chaos lord Angsaar & his minions. Though not many hyperborean warriors still breathe, they are eager for the fray to commence. Their yearn to slake their swords with blood of the minions of chaos & wreak devastating destruction upon them. As the king holds aloft the Shadow-sword, to merge his essence with that of the sword, his warriors prepare themselves for the final onslaught. The warriors: 'IMPERIUS REX! Havoc is the cry! Come, fiends of the nether-void... face righteous pattern-welded death! Glory eternal! For our King and sacred Hyperborea! Stand fast! Cry havoc for glory and the annihilation of the titans of Chaos! We fight to the last man!' The king: 'By all the gods of Hyperborea... a legacy shall be wrought by our blades... our legend shall live forever! Hear me, Angsaar! My humanity fades... my mortality dissipates as does the darkness before the glimmering kiss of the dawn! Let us finish it... Let this be our final battle! Noble warriors of Hyperborea... I salute your steadfast courage. This will be my final command to you. Now come... follow your King into battle one last time. Into the fray we ride... For the eternal glory of Hyperborea!' To find out what happens, go to www.bal-sagoth.co.uk & read the lyrics to Atlantis Ascendant. I warmly recommend it to all of you who truly love fantasy themed lyrics & appreciate wonderfull use of the english language!

:-) David Levy replies: "dude, rex is english, of course it comes from latin, but half of the words in english do. & imperius is also english."

I wouldn't like to see what would hapen if he came across the armies of Katakaania.

love the drawing, the warrior guy looks scary, but I suppose that is good thing as it would scare most opponents silly(probably not katakaanians though)

I am going to check out the history before this!!!! I love things 2 do witj battles and brave warriors.

FOR THE ETERNAL GLORY OF HYPERBOREA!!! I was simply looking for some visual stimulus to view while listening to the Mighty themselves, and was greatly suprised to find some of such quality here! Hail Bal-Sagoth! Awesome work! Worthy of being Bal-Sagoth art! THOUGH THIS DAY WE MAY DIE, OUR LEGEND SHALL LIVE.... FOREVER!!!!!

Imoperius Rex is Latin, although both words are also adopted English, it means 'Emperor king' Interestingly enough Hyperborea is from Greek, hyper - beyond/above, Boreas - the North (as in Aurora Borealis) Boreas was the Greek North wind (Australis was the South, Zephyr the West and I think the East was Oriens, but I am not sure of that).
It also has the Shakespeare reference, from Julius Caesar Act III, scene 2 'Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war'.
Okay enough of the references used. I really like this picture, the determination in the face of the warrior to do whatever it takes to defend his country.
