Pareidolia Piece - Battle Otter, Battle Cry!
An alternate take...
*Pareidolia: When you see a specific image within a random pattern, such as an object in a cloud, a face on a piece of toast, etc.
So, one fine day whilst in the bathroom at home, I found myself looking at the floor tile by the air vent, and found myself going "Huh, that looks like an otter. A humanoid otter. A humanoid otter with a spear, or halberd, or dane-axe or something. A BATTLE OTTER!" X3
Then, not long after, I decided to take a photo, and later do this little doodle to, for one thing, show the basic idea of what was going on in my head with the pattern, and two, go a little further for the fun of fleshing it out some.
So here we have it: an otter warrior dude decked out in a plated hauberk/chainmail-shirt and gambeson/aketon/padded-jacket, wielding a great axe or "similar big weapon." Also, I've got him belting out a battle cry or something. Eh, maybe he's just singing "My Mother Told Me/Þat mælti mín móðir" or something. :3
WORKING NAME: Gólffannst
(not taking any one translation-software's answer as "precise," mind you [seriously, I tinkered around with the exact order of the words, and also looked at the resulting words on their own, and referenced a couple translators, and I got results that certainly don't lead me to take the translation too seriously], but going by the one I went with, it's essentially what I got for "Floor-found" in Icelandic, since I "found him on the floor") XD
I'm considering doing a colored/more-detailed version at some point, but for now, I think this will do. :)
