Great artwork. Love the shadowing, the detail, really feels like I could reach out and touch this guy. Just one little issue: I can't in good conscience call this guy a viking. The shield, unfortunately is a dead giveaway. Kite shields weren't used by vikings, rather Normans are often credited with using them. Furthermore, the pommel and crossguard of the sword is more in keeping with the Norman style. It was specifically designed to mimic the shape of a cross, especially for crusaders. Yes, technically Normans are descended from viking raiders who settled and ruled Normandy, but they're not vikings. Viking refers to Germanic-Scandinavian culture, specifically Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish. This in no way is a knock on your artistic skills, I wish I had this talent. All I'm saying is that you might want to rename this and do a little more historical background research. All in all, keep up the great work, you have an amazing talent!
