"Sister to the mysterious Karla, Sigrid is the current High King of Kaleva, after Annikka refused the throne. She is a master of divination and foresight; weaving plots within plans that stretch over vast stretches of time to ensure that Kaleva and her people come out on top. Sigrid's enigmatic ways, however, have not endeared her to the nobles of Thormundar, and there is talk amongst the nobles of the neighbouring lands of growing conflict with Kaleva..."
New personal artwork for a character that, oddly enough, has been sitting as a sketch for the better part of a decade! The initial idea for Sigrid was that she was a wandering wizard panda, which evolved over time to the idea of an "Odinic panda", with a sinister air surrounding the character. With the evolution of the idea came her companion birds, as well as a spear (fancy, but not magical) and the hood and pelt to bulk out her silhouette and making her look larger than she actually is. I was also inspired by the art of Dominik Mayer (or more specifically, the cycle of tri-lands he did for Streets of New Capenna), in the composition of the work and how he treats metallic elements in his works.
