Today was the King of Norway’s birthday, so I AI-generated some bunny Vikings:

As for Harald V himself, here’s my interpretation of him in animal form:

I chose the Glechon dog breed since it’s the closest mammal name to House Glücksburg, and in my own stories, I try to have my characters’ names somewhat indicate their species.

I listened to an a-ha album and Das Rheingold (or The Rhinegold, the first of Richard Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung opera tetralogy) while doing the art, most of the time. I would absolutely love to see the operas themselves since they were based on the same Nordic stories that inspired The Lord of the Rings, though only if they had translated English versions, similar to what a local community college theater had done with Mozart’s The Magic Flute back at the end of 2022.
