If I remember my mythology correctly Raimo....the Valkyrie rode great wolves and were accompanied by or appeared as large ravens. At least that seems to be older versions.

Wizard's First Rule

great image ani. I especially love the horse and the girl. not sure if this was mentioned but the part of the necklace that falls over her breast is almost positioned as if it could be part of a metallic bra. because of this it gives a false interpretation on first viewing the image and it almost comes across as a mistake. especially since it takes a moment to figure out that it is part of the necklace.

Ahh, those are exactly the helmets I remembered ! Beautiful arn´t they...Until I have more facts I cant really say what period they are...Though they don´t look viking age to me. And above them howers some kind of metal relief of a typical, scandinavian bronze-age ship:

Well, this isn´t really important...Your painting is beautiful and that is what counts !

My impression of the way valkyrias transport themselfs may be somewhat influenced of Richard Wagners Walkurenritte ...

Hot. Even though a picture of a barley dressed women in the snow, a very hot image.
