Dreary Pohjola is that strange, inhospitable land far to the north where Dame Louhi guards the magical sampo, at least until Kalevala’s heroes, Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen, decide to travel north themselves and take it from her. #FolkloreThursday
#Warhammer Art Influences
Another influence on Paul Bonner: the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, particularly known for his images of the Kalevala.

Here’s the finished work for my last process video! Kalevala, my #nightelf priest from #WorldofWarcraft! BFA was not nice to him 😭🌑
Ohohoho.... what’s this? I finished my #characterart of Kalevala! He’s an ex-druid who turned to Night Warrior worship when Teldrassil burned. Check out part of my process below! The tree was surprisingly difficult to get right u_u #warcraft #worldofwarcraft #nightelf #digitalart
That wanton Lemminkäinen sets out to win a fair maid of the north as his bride, but first that full-blooded rogue must ski after the demon’s elk, bridle the demon’s bay horse, and shoot the swan of Tuonela’s river of death. And he almost succeeds. #FolkloreThursday #Kalevala
my character as a servant who has just been summoned! she is ilmarinen, one of the legendary heroes from the finnish epic the kalevala #Fate
For @MythologyMonday’s #eggs theme: in the Finnish Kalevala a duck lays 6 golden and 1 iron egg on the knees of the air goddess Ilmatar. From the eggs came the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. 🦆🥚🌍🌞✨
Art: Sergey Minin + Robert Wilhelm Ekman. #MythologyMonday
Had some fun with this tiny scene!
The ships are from the 20w14∞ snapshot of Minecraft, hence all the loops
The color palette and the frame are based on Osmo Borodkin's "Kalevala" series

my fast graphics entry for @Instanssi, the theme was Kalevala so i drew Louhi
#Tolkien’s imagination was shaped by the #Kalevala. His 1st prose tale (interspersed with poetry) was a retelling of the story of Kullervo (published posthumously, ed. by V. Flieger), a figure who later inspired Túrin Turambar (art by @AlanLee11225760) @TolkienSociety

Hi guys! Here is my new #illustration inspired by #finnishmythology #Kalevala and song #lautturi

“Ossian” inspired the brothers Grimm to seek out German folk-literature, & Elias Lönnrot to compile Finnish tales into the Kalevala. English scholars, aghast at the lack of ancient epics of their own, conscripted Beowulf (a story about a Geat, & set in Denmark) as “Old English”.
Ukko ("old man") was a god of the sky, weather, & crops. The Finnish word for thunder, "ukkonen" (little Ukko), is derived from his name. In the Kalevala he is also called "ylijumala" (overgod, Supreme God), as he is the god of things of the sky. #MythologyMonday - 🎨 R. Ekman
Väinämöinen runs aground on the great Pike. #finnishmythology #vainamoinen #illustrationart #mythology #mythicships #pike #kalevala
โดยส่วนตัวคิดว่าสำนักพิมพ์ยิปซีเป็นสำนักพิมพ์ที่น่าจับตามองในช่วงนี้เลย
