And the Saxon Series by Bernard Cornwell is amazing for people who like viking stories. Its the story of how the Danes almost conquered England and how England itself unified and because a country. [/quote]
Thanks for the tip, I’ll be looking into those.

So, what you’re saying really is that any one of us could actually be real vikings if we wanted to? =D[/quote]

Hey, DD said it and I’m already on it.
Once I’ve finished this hat I’m gonna head across the hall to boot down my neighbor’s door shouting “Yo bitch…this is a raid!” and then I’ll plunder her and leave her, a …ermm (what did the vikings usually do with the women in these villages they plundered?)
and I’ll pee on her walls and stuff to make it official.
I’ll grow the beard later in jail.

When making the hat (helmet), you should use dildos instead of horns.

Um, typically its a voyage. To make it more authentic you need to sail there.

Oh.
Can I just pretend I’ve been on a long and arduous journey and lost my fellow oarsmen? I mean, she won’t know any different and I’ll be disguised with my dildo-helm and stuff. I can jump into the shower or throw water on my face to make it look more authentic!
I’m sure I’ve got a belt with a REALLY large buckle on it somewhere as well…

No, you gotta do it right. Get yourself one of these. It’ll go great with your helmet.
He did, but I will deny it cause I don’t want you hit him up for one for yourself.
If, however, the Dwarf, in all his awesome talents DID make an Avi for me, It would certainly look like this.
or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
I imagine.
^ Nice but it has more hair than you really do.
Damn. That’s a great avatar, and not far from my own style.
^ ID just a suggestion brother, I think you need to work on your leg development.
Synthol !
Am I the only one who thought this would look better on some luminous Viking pecs?
Motorboatin’ could be hazardous, but still.

Just realised you do your own avatars. Very impressed mate! What is it you use generally? Illustrator?

Actually everyone here and the OP itself is perpetuating one of the worst myths.
Viking is really an action not a people. To go viking is really to go on a (raiding) voyage. A Viking would mean a person who goes on a raiding voyage.
The people we are talking about are more correctly Danes or Norseman and would only be said to be viking or have gone viking when they were off raiding.
Oh, and cool fact, they were the first to land a settlement on North America.[/quote]
It comes from the verb vike The past tense being viked.
The people were actually called RainbowPuffalumps…they just loved to do a lot of viking.

Yep, Illustrator!
Most of my avatars are derived from art I did for MuscleMag.

You’ve got a great style bud, really like it! I studied illustration in college but ended up in IT as it’s a very hard field to make a living off of. Sadly, I didn’t keep it up when I left and have had to make do with photo-manips and sporadic literary pieces for a creative outlet. I manage about one serious piece a year lol.
Do you have an online portfolio or Deviantart account to peruse?
