When a talented skald of the Swedish courts, renowned across Scandinavia for his unparalleled musical prowess, revealed himself as a disguised woman, she was swiftly executed, and the embarrassing events were stricken from polite conversation. Her sudden return to court functions shook even the staunchest war veterans, but not enough to stay a second wary, though swift, summary execution. Upon further returns, each revealing the scald to be strangely repaired in a manner befitting tailor more than physician, the court began to almost embrace the eerie presence. This cycle of returns and executions leading to a more and more transfigured court poet became something of an exalted tradition.

Cobbled Skald is yet another specimen of supreme craftsmanship by ~Keithwormwood. A brilliantly innovative concept brought forth with exquisite dexterity makes this nigh impossible to tear our eyes away from. Suggested by both ~Ri-Chi and `ctjemm. ( Featured by `snowmask )

I´ve got the book where your illustrations appear!! "How to paint the Undead" or something like that. It´s wonderful, and your pictures are my favorites!! The Cobbled Skald was one of my favorite undeads, she´s very inspiring!!

I wish I could paint like you in the future ^^
