nyo norway in a hardangerbunad? Maybe with a brudekrone too (i dont know what the exact crown is called, but if you search "en brud från hardanger" you can find it)? :)

Of course! I rarely draw this one, it's gotten that "typical norwegian" brand and is what you'll most likely associate with Norwegian culture. I have to admit it's pretty neat though ✨It's from an area on the western coast of Norway.

Brudfärden i... Storsjön?

One of Sweden's less well known mythical creatures is Storsjöodjuret (Beast of the Great Lake), which is a Loch Ness-like monster that lives in the Great Lake in central Jämtland. What are the odds that I would choose this creature?! And because Jämtland was a part of Norway for nearly 500 years, it's technically a Norwegian magical creature too.

If you're wondering why Norway is wearing a crown, this is also a parody of a very famous Norwegian painting depicting a traditional Norwegian wedding ceremony in the fjords. In the painting, the bride wears an elaborate brudekrone (bride's crown) with a design specific to her region. As Norway is not a bride and is presumably wearing it as a joke here, his crown doesn't represent any region.

Norske brudekroner er så fine at jeg får lyst til å grine, herregud

Jeg lurer på om det er mulig om du kan lage en post om brudekroner? Jeg så litt på "jul i blåfjell/jul på månetoppen" her om dagen (jaja, det er lenge til jul, men jeg fikk julestemning), og Dronning Fjellrose har en utrolig flott krone... Den minner meg litt om Lustra-krona

Åh, spennende forespørsel! Brudekroner er ikke *teknisk* sett mitt fagområde, men det er jo sykt vakre gjenstander og jeg burde ha nok materiale til å lage en sak på det. Gi meg noen dager, bare…
