Tag As FavoriteComment		i know, a norse goddess. how cliche. i was mostly using this as a study in fabric and different colours than my normal palette, but i'm rather pleased with how it turned out, so it's a deviation. freya is the goddess of sex, lust, fertility, love, war and wealth. busy girl. she lives in folkvang and each day chose half of the slain warriors to split with odin. she's wearing the precious brisings' necklace, which she acquired by sleeping with four dwarves. she also owns a feather cloak, which allows to her travel between worlds. but it's not all dwarf-orgies and jet-setting in the world of freya, no! she lost her husband, and she cries golden tears for him. alas, poor freya!! maybe he left her after he heard about her hanky-panky with the dwarves? freya is the most beautiful of the goddesses, but don't oggle too much. she changed one admirer, ottar, into a boar. freya likes long romantic walks to the convenience store, watching movies, going to parties and having fun. to contact freya, or to browse more mythological norse singles, get in touch with us.

*drops jaw and stares* that dress is beautiful. It must have taken you so long to do. I'm now a very big fan... LOL

Yes, that makes sense; I've found it usually takes at least four dwarves to = one regular guy. And as far as the previous comment that this woman does not seem beautiful enough to be All That...who's to say? What is "beautiful" is always based on the least objective opinions there can be. Haven't you seen pictures of historical "beauties" and thought, What, THAT? But I'm curious about what those kite string thingies are going up towards the birdie.

The dress is beautiful, but her hair scares me...
I would totally wear that dress. *Thinks fiancé would be happy to see her in a dress made of Pixels!*

It is what Freya looks like these days; of course she probably wears something a little more subdued when she takes that walk to the convenience store.
Its another wonderful image. Her dress is fantastic; those details must have taken forever. Though her hair just seems a little too... fluffy for my taste. Still, it is an overall beautiful interpretation of the Norse goddess; though a very modern one to my sense.

That is such a gorgeous dress!

What a wonderful expression of femail power. I like your Freya. She is not a cliche; she is an allegory. Am i right?
