[Work in Progress] Draugr, artwork being produced for Valkyrie Beard Care.

PERSPECTIVE: I tried to make this dude look eerie but really capture a sense of doom or dread surrounding him. The paint coming off of him is also supposed to symbolize the stench and disease they emit from great distances away.

SCENT: Petrichor (Rain), Wet Moss, Seaweed, Decayed Leather, Rusted Chainmail, Dead Leaves, Ancient Oud, Dark Musk

TYPE: Masculine, Earthy, Macabre

INSPIRATION: Deep within Norse lore, Draugrs are feared as undead beings, often described as the reanimated corpses of warriors. They guard their treasures fiercely and are known for their strength, stench of decay, and the dark aura that surrounds them. This scent captures the essence of these ancient guardians. You read that right. I was deeply inspired by the undead for this unique scent, aiming to evoke the essence of undead ancestral warriors without making you smell like actual death.

FUN FACT: It took me at least a half hour to get his eyes right because I kept accidentally giving him googly eyes. LOL
