Valhalla, Valkyries, and Captain Jacqueline Sparrow |
||
| Annika the 9th Valkyrie has been "immortalized" in the publication, Gaming Frontiers. Alan Dyson, the illustrator took some photos of Annika, the 9th Valkyrie, during 2001 Bristol season. Then early 2002 season, he returned to Bristol with the article, as well as the art work. The artistic rendition depicts Valhalla with worthy warriors that were chosen by the Valkyries (there are actually 3 of me in this artistic sketch). As we know, once in Valhalla, following the battle scene, the shield maidens of Odin serve Mead (or ale according to some)to the chosen warriors. I think Alan Dyson did an excellent job with his artistic rendition; including the details of helmet, hair, and even facial expression. | ||
