Mwohahaha!!! You'll shit in your pants in no time when he's coming for you! (Not that you have much time left anyway...)
Nice one.

Daniel is right. "Berseker" comes from the words "Bear Seeker", or the one who search to be like a bear. It could also easily be translate by "Beer Seeker"...

:-) Johan Aronson replies: "Actually, the swedish word for berserker (bärsärk) means bear-shirt or bare-shirt, which would have to do with berserkers fighting without armour and only wearing bear or wolf furs."

LOL! when he turned into a werewolf it looks like he ripped his pants in bettween his legs. Great work though excellent detail. ;D

:-) Johan Aronson replies: "Ah, thanks, but it's not Egil Skallagrimsson, just some other guy with the same first name. 2"

Correction for "Morka": It does NOT mean "bear seeker". It’s derived from "bar-sark", or "bare-shirt", as in no shirt, as in naked. Berserkers would often times go into battle nude, or wrapped only in bear skins, which is indicated by the other translation being "bear-shirt" or "-skin", referring to the idea of shape-shifting and fighting with bear-like strength and ferocity.

Great work. Cool pose. He’s a real savage bastard.
