Blessing of the Raven

Raven, carry my woes, my sorrows, black bird. The raven was primarily seen as an ill omen, a messenger of death and grief. It was strongly associated with witchcraft and shape shifting and was often called "the witch bird".

However, in one of the songs of the ancient Finns the raven was also an empathetic helper; a bird you could trust your sorrows with and it would ease your pain by carrying the woes beyond dark waters so that they would no longer bother anyone.

Beat...h-h-heartbeat...

I can assure you that I am the only person in the world that looked at seven different valravn OC couples and said "I have the perfect 80s synthpop song for this." I genuinely considered all of these characters' relationships with each other to make sure the stanzas matched up properly.

quick digital doodle of Valravn for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

My piece inspired by Ninja Theory’s incredible Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, a powerful tale woven through psychosis and the fortitude of the human spirit.

Senua and Valravn ~ The hardest battles are fought in the mind.

You're gonna give me a heart attack!

Oh yeah, it's the BIG ONE. At the end of Art Fight 2021 I got the idea of making an attack of every valravn on the Art Fight website. 2022 arrived, I set out to do just that. It took the entire month, but in the end I pulled it off! This is one of the most complicated pieces I've ever drawn. Thank you to everyone that loved it, you made it all worth it ❤

You can find it on Art Fight here. Below are the tags of everyone included that's on Tumblr (if their Tumblr accounts were linked to their Art Fight accounts, anyway).

A legend of the European and the Northern lands, this creature would instill terror in the hearts of the children who would not slip into bed in time. Certain tales claim that it’s terrible form bears holes in the eyes and wings, which would spread ill fortune, disease, and even death to those unlucky enough to stare into them. Inktober day 21, Nachtkrapp!
