Did the Vikings actually wear horned helmets? And other persistent myths

Ancient History Gaming · @happystorm46 · 1mo ago

Just wanted to share my latest Viking project. It's not perfect but I'm proud of how it turned out.

The process took about a year and I learned so much along the way. The hardest part was definitely fine-tuning but once I figured that out, the rest fell into place.

Feedback welcome!
