✨New Art//Freyja's Quest {NSFW warning on some images} (Patreon)

Freyja, the Valkyrie queen and Vanir goddess of love, beauty and war.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for being quiet here the past few days.  I'm sure many of you have already seen on discord and in my instagram stories that I've been going through a time of stress and grief over my beautiful cat, Ukii's illness, and recent passing.  I won't go into it too deeply in this post,  but she did pass away peacefully yesterday.  You can read more details about it on discord and my insta stories if you want, and when I'm ready, I'll likely draw a memorial artwork that I have in mind for her.

It is an odd bit of synchronicity that I had started this piece of Freyja before all of these emergency veterinarian visits and everything began, and then dabbled with working on it at times when Ukii was resting, because the goddess Freyja rules over Fólkvangr, a place where half of those who die in battle go to rest, and because she is also a goddess associated with cats, it is thought that she also looks over passed feline friends there as well.  In addition, whenever I have drawn her with her cats in the past, the cats designs were always based off of Ukii.  It might all just be coincidence, but these were just a couple puzzle pieces I connected today as I finally sat down to finish this piece up.

Anyway, I hope you like this piece.  I loved how Artemis' background frame turned out in last month's Artemis piece, so I tried to do something with this piece of Freyja and also incorporate some Urnes style knotwork into it.
