I named her after some random queen in 'The Odyssey', but she has no actual affiliation with Poseidon. I just painted her with my watercolor brushes and my obsessive use of the cool color spectrum. No outlines, but I did do random runes in sharpie to look more Tolkienized than I was at the time.

Hehe, yay! Megan gets a first comment! Well, I'm proud that you can use watercolours. I sure can't. I have problems painting.

The runes say: "stand by we hwenfod" I don't know what the last word is. I must not be translating it right. I learned the origional runes not the ones in the back of "return of the king"

"Stænd by we hwenfod?" What does that mean?
