Viking riding walruses, there’s really not much more one can say about this. It’s just pure awesome. I like the style a lot as well, quite interesting.

Thank you My first visions about the concept were actually a bit darker and more dynamic, I imagined vikings coming over the dark stormy sea, landing with raging beasts. It turned out somewhat different, but I guess it's OK for now, until I gain more skills

Welcome. That does sound really dynamic, looking at this one it would be interesting to see your original idea on the concept. This is still pretty cool though.

This is outrageously epic. I love the scrimshaw on the walrus' tusks.

I love how dignified the walrus looks, gives his a lot of character. Coincidentally, the guy standing up in the background also has a lot of character (or did, before he fell into the water ).

Thank you for the comment and
Well, the guy on the background might have some character, but I sincerely hope he won't fell, because the water is quite icy...

It will teach him not to have too much to drink before getting on his walrus

OMG WALRUS and I agree with johnblunt watermarks can get distracting someties but if you look past them, like I can quite easily here, the art is very good! :3

Thanks. Well, I agree that watermarks aren't pretty, but they seem necessary as they offer some protection against art theft.
