We have been playing a lot of valheim lately with my SO. And i wanted to draw the coolest boss we have seen so far ( next one is bonemass, once our palace is done ) Since we have a little viking at home we are casual paced, but still 50hours in after a couple of weeks.. and damn we are enjoying every bit of it, it has become our nerdy ritual. The game is amazing with it's atmospherics and the music man.. so yea big shout out to you devs.. :)

Where does one find a SO that's into games like valheim? Asking for a friend

We met at school at 16 ! But we dated only years later! :)

I think we all agree... coolest boss.

For sure. Elder is pretty cool too as he's really creepy and intimidating but Eikthyr is by far the coolest design.

Look-wise yes. Fight-wise I'd argue Elder and Yagluth are up there.

Deer God!

Classic

Love your style! When paintings are available in this game I’m sure you’ll have some commissions, maybe even by me!

ahah cheers! :))

Are custom paintings gonna be available in this game? :O

I really hope so! It was such a fun part of Minecraft as a kid to see people’s massive murals hanging on the walls. I can just imagine, if we ever get servers with like 100 players, visiting other players homes and seeing the unique ways they decorate them. Makes me so excited:)

I want to farm him for chains.

Ahaha true! farming thoses ghosts at night for chains is quite a pain :P

Amazing piece! Me and my spouse are also enjoing the game so much! We just found the location of the last boss! The feeling of this piece really reminds me when we activated the altar. Great work and keep it up!

Good luck to you two for this last boss battle ! :D The game really shines in Co op play!

And I love the lighting in the game aswell! And how everything changes when the boss fight starts haha. Planning on doing a piece for each boss?

This looks epic

For the moment, it's my favorite boss so far :))

This is so moody and perfectly captures the vibe of Eikthyr's death stare vibe. Love the splashing water highlights on the body/antlers !

Thanks ! : )) I am still not perfectly satisfied with it but meh!

Great work, I gave you my free award as it what I had because 1 upvote wa not enough.

You rock! thanks!! :D

Eikthyr is my favourite, do you mind if I use this as my wallpaper? I would totally buy a print too if you sell them.

Ahaha i'm flattered ! Of course you can use it! And print it if you want !! Never thought about selling prints but in this case i'd not dare, after all i did not designed this awesome boss, credit should be to the Valheim team/ art dev :)

Wow, you really capture the essence of it. I absolutely love the art style, such an incredible piece!

Thanks!: ) I was really hesitant to post it

I understand the feeling :p Looks like you got overwhelmingly positive feedback, so hopefully that is some encouragement to get your work out there!

It does! :)) I'm surprised but yeah it's really the best form of encouragement seeing this appreciated !

For sure. They're all cool but **Eikthyr without a doubt looks the best mounted over your fireplace**

ahaha dude ! But still makes sense! Cool bosses makes cool trophy!

That's so good!

Thanks for my new phone background.

hahah cheers!

This is INCREDIBLE

Thanks! i was really hesitant to post it, i'm quite insecure about my shitty paintings lol :))

Of all the games I have played this one of the most metal mobs I ever seen

200% agree ! I also love that it's not "over the top" like with spines everywhere and all, simple and metal .. :D

Damn lol I think I'd grind for padded before facing this bad boi though It's like...Eikthyr, but he got bitten by a vampire and then committed a felony

ahahah

I reeeally like this, seeing the brush strokes is so nice and the splashes of rain coming off it is awesome! Was this done in Photoshop or Corel Painter?

Thanks ! :)) Photoshop, i'm sort of rotten with it but lately i got the courage to start working again on my photoshop paintings, never tried Corel painter thought!

Did you do it digitally? Can I buy a copy to print for myself?

Yes! :) digital painting, and of course you can print it! :)

Thank you, it's going next to my pc! Is there a high quality file?

I made a wallpaper for Wallpaper engine. I added a heavy rain angled to match the picture. All credit for the original image to the creator of the image. Found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2437823912
