Cincindela damascene

Finally finished the original sketch.



Trying to track down a cheap copy of The Kalevala on the recommendation of a Finnish friend of mine. Not sure whether a translation in the original sung rhythm would annoy me too much, given the loathing of Longfellow instilled in me at secondary school. I guess it is half the point. Anyone read it?

"Because we want to know why all Finnish people are so damn grumpy!"
(Besides the Russians stealing Karelia)

Noray said he was surprised that he liked it, given that "most Finnish stuff sucks". Yeah, he's Finnish too. :D

Guild holiday to Finland next year, we can stay at Ukko's!
