„A Storm Coming“ / „Viking Monk“ (2010) Repost

Sketch of a viking, seen from behind, hovering in the air next to a rune stone. There's a grazing horse a bit away and dark, foreboding clouds in the sky.

Here’s a very old (2010!) piece I recently found on my blog, it was apparently for the (now defunct) #DrawingDay, done on a tiny, ancient (about A6!) #wacom #DrawingTablet (could never get used to them in the end).

Still like the atmosphere a lot.

Check out the blog for some info on the #RuneStone:

Drawing Day: A storm coming

Today is Drawing Day, didn’t do much though, here’s another rough one. I think I might get used to the tablet a little bit though, it was quite fun.

EDIT: Wow, I was sure I saw this runestone while looking up Öland on Wikipedia but I cannot find it anymore. If someone has a clue, please leave a comment. I remember it being a stone with some kind of poem about a warrior (from Denmark?). The interesting thing about it was that there were romanic/blackletter characters on the back even though no one could figure what they meant.

EDIT2: I was mostly right. It must be the Karlevi Runestone south of Färjestaden (though in my drawing the stone looks really different).
