Paintedwith Painter XI, it took me about 3 days to be finished with it; one for theconcept, two for the painting process.

These aretwo fantasy characters of mine, from the end of the Viking Age. The guy iscalled Torbjørn and the elf-girl is Ragnhild.

Torbjørn isdressed in” saueskinn” (sheep skin); while Ragnhild is using a woolen cape,decorated with traditional bunad* stiches. Her pullover is made in a technique callednålbinding, popular among the Vikings at that time.

You canresearch more about “bunad” and “nålbinding or nålebinding” on the Wikipediaand other sites.

Goodness! I do nalebinding, my two favourite hats were made with it. I never expected to see it in art like this, so few even know about it.

The details and realism are fantastic! Very deserving of the mods choice.
