Since the Plague Valkyrie piece has some drawing issues, I worked out another composition, C&C as well please, that I may iron out any issues before I go to paint.

I think her head looks quite good. I don't know if her height is intentional, but she looks a bit comical (she's short). Maybe giving her more height would work better??

Good picture, definetly better than what I can come up with :)

But.. I like to translate and tell people about nordic words.. In the old norse the word Einherji stands for a single warrior, not sure if it only stands for warriors that make it to valhöll or valhalla like you would say it.

Einherji - single warrior
Einherjar - Multiple warriors.

I just started thinking about this because I saw the title and thought 'hey, where are the others'

sorry :)

Great looking pic. Only problem I see is the valkyrie´s head. Seems like there´s something wrong with her neck.
