Not so much as nobility but wealth and status. Warriors were buried elaborately too sometimes. Then again they were sometimes burned on pyres too. It’s hard to really know what they believed about the afterlife and burial and what happened after you were dead, as it seems to differ so much from region to region.
dude, that’s harsh! excellent art though. i’ve done some wood carving with hand chisels before, and that figurehead would take months to carve. incredible detail, awesome job!
His mother is a boat! NOOOOOOOO! 😉
NO that’s not what I meant. >_>;;
Now Loki is getting a bit mean…
(BTW: I was thinking about starting my own webcomic…should I?)
Loki doesn’t mean to be mean. But he’s Loki.
And sure! If you can handle it and your heart’s in it then go for it! :3
He’s hugworthy x3
(I hope I can. Remember the Steampunk Mytholoyg Stuff in my gallery? Was thinking bout turning that into a comic)
Isn’t burrying a Viking with his boat a sign of nobility or something like that? o_o
AND COAL’S FACE BREAKS MY HEART! XD

But in short, in this case…yes. XD
Cool, didn’t know that. :3
Also, initial shock being past, I just noticed the small details on the boat. Holy shit. That must’ve taken you forever. XD
Haha! Yeah it takes a bit of time. I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot of close-up shots of the figurehead in the future. XD
*flail*

…*fail*
I did that wrong…
D: Eh?
HAH! Awesome XD
Thank you! XD

Thank you! It’s based off a post found in the Oseberg burial, that’s even more detailed than what I drew. 😀
No, no, you’re supposed to say “Your”
