Old Bear

Question: Who did the art for Folkwardr? It is the best of the character pictures that I've seen thus far.

This is going to make you laugh, probably. The piece is by French digital artist Benjamin Giletti, and is actually fanart for something completely different - it's meant to be an image of Old Bear Mormont, a character from the Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series.

We don't normally represent characters with art that is specifically of other characters (makes it hard for them to keep their individual flavor sometimes without getting bogged down in that other character's associated story and personality), but the symbolism was off the charts and the player really liked it. Not only is the picture of someone who is old, cranky and crotchety but obviously still a badass, all things one can definitely say about Woody, but he was also a big fan of having the bear in the background, representing Sowiljr, and the raven on his shoulder, representing Vala, who are the two most important figures in his very Norse-centric life.

Check out the rest of Giletti's gallery, if you have time - he does some very neat stuff!
