Nice style. The helmet looks wrong, perspective-wise as well as the nose-protector would rather break the nose and the side flaps do not look viking but rather Roman. But I haven't checked that, could be that your references proove me wrong.

Thanks guys. Jester, I think you are right about the ear-flaps and nose guard. These are just quick sketches...anyways, I tried to look at some viking helmets online, and it's tough to find authentic looking ones...:)
