This is a picture of the ex-Valkyrie Brynhilde defying Odin by refusing to deliver the soul of the dying Sigfried, her beloved. (He doesn't die, by the way, but she is cast from Valhalla, and their life ends in tradgedy. So go the myths of old...) My buddies Rika and Ari posed for this. Thanks, guys.

Wow. The shading on their faces and the detail in both the braid and their facial features is amazing. Great job!

I like the fact that she´s not the cliché valkyrie, she looks very young, strong and fragile at the same time. Obviously you know the mythological characters you draw quite well. And that´s a rare thing in the woods...

Yippee! I finally found someone who can do a Brunhilde and she does not look like a Boris Vallijo reject. Brunhilde seems a little young, but overall it looks great. We need more people who share this standard in warrior women. I did do my own verison, but have not gotten up yet since it was rant sketch....

WOW! Amazing shading...I have the hardest time shading...I love the emotion in her eyes, it looks so realistic, like they just stepped out of a picture, definitely one of my fav pieces in the woods...keep up the good work 2

OMG! This is so beautiful!! I literally stared at this picture for 5 minutes just taking everything in. The expressions are perfect, and they show so much emotion!! It's perfect! Love it! Love it! Love it! You are very talented! Keep up the great work!

I just love the defiant look on Brynhilde's face and the way you only shaded their faces and left the rest very bare - it really draws the eye in and focuses it on the important part of the picture.

Excellent job on her face! Looks a little younger and softer than I pictured her, but still strong inside and very very gorgeous. Some women just know how to wear a long braid, and your Brynhilde is one of them. As with many of your other pics, I kind of wish it was more finished, but in the end you’ve drawn the most important parts so well, that I’m still grateful for it.
