Commission Viking Battle Hammer

Technically this comission has everything it needs to succeed as an artwork. But no more than that. The style is absolutely crystal and is very defined for the viewer. There is no questions left unanswered. But that is also the problem of this piece.

This work is not one that possibly even could raise any questions, it is work that gives answers. And so it is left as an "fast-food" of arts. The sort of quick peek. Not something that really draws you in.

So i would say that what you could do is try some more wilder perspectives or compositions, add background. And most importantly, add action, viewer needs to have that action to keep interest. I must admit that myself, i keep struggling with that exact same problem, and i must say that giving questions is certainly harder than giving answers.
