Description

I probably should explain, for those of you who do not know, that a nisse or tomte is a small mythological â��manâ�� who guards and helps Scandinavian farmers. The mythology is too long to explain here. I did the first one for the village Scandinavian baker who has been more than kind since moving here. Thanks to all for all.

Excellent work! That is one nasty looking rat. Hope the Tomte doesn't get hurt.

nice image. I know of the Hine based figure on the left but is the creature on the right something you created? I've never seen it in the community and I usually try to find creatures like this and hold them captive in my Runtime folder to eventually unleash them later in my renders!

Really interesting and well done scene Rick. Having never heard of Tomte or Nisse, I googled and found how interesting the gnome is, I have to read further. Thanks for the continuing education and great art. Rick
