Model the subject into thin metal sheet with raised and recessed relief, with hammer marks and chased lines kept, highlights controlled, never smooth chrome, like a Norse silver and bronze plaque. A Valkyrie, a Norse warrior maiden who chooses the fallen, riding a winged horse high above a battlefield seen from far below: a tall figure in a winged helmet, mail shirt and flowing cloak with a long spear and a round shield, the horse's wings spread wide, clouds below her and tiny shields and banners on the field far under.
Light: a bright pale sun behind her striking the chased edges of the helmet wings, spear and mail as thin silver and gold highlights along the hammer marks while the recesses fall into deep umber, steel-grey and verdigris; the long diagonal of the spear and wings rise through the tall frame; palette of silver, bronze, gold, umber and verdigris; heavy, heroic metalwork finish.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the figure rising through the height of the frame. A dignified, respectful depiction in period dress, armour or fur; no readable text, rune inscriptions, letters or logos anywhere.
