- Artist: Lady_Eldae
- Description: In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (Old Norse for "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decide who will die in battle. The valkyrie bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. In Norse mythology, Eir (Old Norse "help, mercy") is a goddess and/or valkyrie associated with healing properties. She is said to stay atop Lyfjaberg (Old Norse "hill of healing" or "healing mountain.)

- Just to comment on the heels, it's not the fact that they are heels that I chose to where them, but that they make the avatar's legs look longer. I imagine the Valkyrie to be tall and stoic and none of the other shoes gave me that feeling.

Lady_Eldae, you've won again smile
It's quite nice, just the eyes don't really fit in. - Report As Spam

- I'm not a fan of mostly white avatars. I like the head work, but I think the background is being used as a crutch to make the avatar not look so cliche and bland even if it does go with the theme. Those eyes make anything look beautiful. As a whole I like it. This group was beautifully put together. Congratulations.
