I started this piece back in September 2017 and for some reason it sat on my PC in a near-finished state for over a year until I recently managed to pull myself together and finish it. The idea for this painting came to me when I was taking a bath and listening to Hedningarna, a folk band that I’ve known a long time. They used to have two female Finnish vocalists whose singing has this sort of ancient and witchy quality and I tried to capture a glimpse of the world that opens in my mind whenever I listen to their songs.

A few of my screenshots from Sands of Faith, a Kingdom of Heaven-inspired total conversion mod for Mount&Blade: Warband. Currently playing as King Baldwin IV in the Kingdom of Jerusalem faction and totally ignoring the fact there's no possible way he could have engaged in physical battle in 1185 (when the mod is set), but that's part of what makes it so much fun. You can customize his appearance in chargen, but, due to the game's graphics, even with texture enhancements and my best efforts he kinda looks like a potato. So we're keeping the mask on, lol.
