Sleipnir - Carry we, who die in battle Carry we, who die in battle Over land and sea... Across the rainbow bridge, to Valhalla... Odin is waiting for me... Recently, i stumbled upon a song called..Sleipnir. And i kinda fell for the video and the subject of the song. The song is about norse mythology. I never heard any songs about norse mythology. So it was a nice surprise to find one song about the subject. Here is a cool video with stunning computer animations,and a great version of the song: Click here for a great song and video. Another version in case of youtube rubbish: Or click here to hear the song. Norse mythology... Since i am from same the part of the world, as norse mythology. I felt inspired by the song and subject. Despite the fact that i hate all war and violence.. And always have done, and will hate war and violence. :) ... But still.. The video and the song is great... Sleipnir... was Odin's 8 legged steed. The fastest horse in Asgard. Odin had many functions as a god, in asgard. He was the war god, and the death god. The warriors that died an honorable death, on the battlefields of the 9 worlds. Would be transported to Valhalla, by Odin, on his horse, Sleipnir. Valhalla was a kind of heaven, for the bravest warriors that died in honor, on the field of glory. So the image i made in Daz/Photoshop, is a scene, where a dying warrior.. Wait for Odin riding on Sleipnir, to come for him, and take him to Valhalla. And i really think the song is well composed. It is the dying warrior, singing the song, according to the lyrics. A nice touch, and way of thinking. I am still messing with VUE scenes and renders, but i often bang my head against the wall. Because my computer hardware is a bit to tiny, to deal with bug VUE scenes. Thanks for any comments and or faves.

Lars, This really is a magnificent looking image you created. I am a fan of Norse mythology also and was excited to hear about the song and see your amazing depiction of it here. The dramatic appearance you gave this image is second to none as is your attention to detail throughout. I always enjoy seeing your new releases as well as learning about what inspired you

a scene right out of a book. the drama and emotion comes through with the background, flames and that wonderful horse. this is an image that should hang on a wall where it can be gazed at every day. bravo! well done!
