Description
Valkyries - From Old Norse - "Choosers of the Slain".The valkyries' purpose was to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle and to carry them off to Valhalla where they became einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world, Ragnarök. In Valhalla the valkyries also “serve drink and look after the tableware and drinking vessels”

This is an amazing piece.
In the series I am writing the main character is Valkyrie. She is the daughter of Eir.
Eir was a goddess of mercy, peace, and medical skill. She was also Valkyrie. She was one of the eight sisters of Freya and a handmaiden to Frigga.
Your rendering looks how I imagined in my mind that Eir would look.
I think you have captured the majesty of the Valkyrie beautifully.

It looks great ^^ It is a bit dark but I like that : D normally people draw Valkyries light and stuff but this is a real special creation in my eyes it gives another vision of the valkyries I think. Well done !

"The Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever!" I would imagine that the Valkyries serve the einherjar in other ways as well!
