Description

This is a warrior, a dacian-viking-european warrior...as a good friend once said, we are all one big happy family!
As you all maybe already know, most ancient tribes and folks worshiped one way or an other the wolf and considerd it its brother.
Also, before and in a battle, a warrior would identify himself with the wolf and would get into a sort of berserker state of spirit!
The wolf symbolizes strenght, honor and courage!
Now, about the painting itself, I know the colors are a bit odd, cause it is night, but the warriors face is not shadowed, but...there is an explaination...the moon is shining in his face!:P I still have to work a lot on shading and light! And the wolf is that big because it is not just a wolf, it is the guiding spirit of the warrior!
Done in acrylics on thick paper
Inspired by the song "War" by the metal band Apocaliptic [link]
