Drakkar Viking ship Fan Art

Description:

The Vikings are best known for their ships. Of the many types they designed, two are famous: the longship called a drakkar or dragon ship and the more sturdy cargo ship called a knarr. Without these ships, the Viking Age, as we know it, could never have happened. The Drakkar, the best known of the spectacular longships, were symbolic of the legendary Vikings. A rather late invention (11th century), these ships were used primarily as vicious and brutal warships. Developed by majestic Kings such as Olaf Tryggvasson, they were a symbol of the incredible Scandinavian power and were to these proud owners, a highly valued material possession. I create my 3D version of a Drakkar Viking ship, according to images and blueprints i found on internet. I hope you enjoy it.
