Kalevala Epic - Tumblr Posts

i love him so fkn much 

I'm reconstructing my plan to illustrate the "Kalevala" epic, so here's a little spoiler with Joukahainen

/I want to warn you that when drawing characters from "Kalevala", I based on my impressions and fantasy, so they may not match with other artists/

"Nevermore, old Väinämöinen, Nevermore in all thy life-time, While the golden moonlight glistens, Nevermore wilt fix thy vision On the meadows of Väinölä, On the plains of Kalevala; Full six years must swim the ocean, Tread the waves for seven summers, Eight years ride the foamy billows, In the broad expanse of water; Six long autumns as a fir-tree, Seven winters as a pebble; Eight long summers as an aspen!"
