"When my journeyings had ended,
When the bear had been discovered,
Had no need to launch my javelins,
Did not need to aim the arrow;
Otso tumbled in his vaulting,
Lost his balance in his cradle,
In the fir-tree where he slumbered;
Tore his breast upon the branches,
Freely gave his life to others."
- Väinämöinen, Kalevala rune 46, "Otso the Honey-Eater"

One of the most fun school assignments I had the opportunity of doing; a full illustration based on a single prompt word: "Hunter". Chose to catch the hunt in the act instead.
