My sleipner is indeed from the times the actuall style haden't yet envolped. It certainly was in need of updating

But usually It would be kind enough to ask beforehand from the orginal artist before going to do it.
But since your drawing is indeed quite good lookin, and you are norwegian, and becouse I bet you mean no harm, I can upload this one instead ;)
Next time, be the artist whom ever, ask a kinda request before drawing/posting a remake of allready existing drawing, okey?
