Artist's Comments

The title is actually Der Nøkken lurer but DA is stupid and wont lemme use special characters...grrr...

This one took meh a while...considering I had no idea what to call it O_O

Then Maja came Up with the idea of using Nøkken as my theme...

Nøkken is cunning. Humans are her prey. When the sun sets, you must beware.
She could be lying under the large, shining water lilly that you reach for with your hand.
The moment you touch it, the quagmire will give way beneath you, and she will grasp you with her wet, slimy hands.
Or when you are sitting alone by the pond one evening - memories rise to the surface, at first one by one, then whole hosts of
memories with the same warmth and radiance as the reflected sunlight between the leaves and the water lillies.
Watch yourself! Nøkken is playing with your feelings. The pond conjures forth the memories, and Nøkken lies in wait beneath.
She knows how easy it is to trap us in its beautiful, quivering reflections.
(Thanks Maja)

Great work... Hmm.. I think Nøkken is called Näkki in Finnish mythology but Näkki - as far as I know - is male, not a female. :D

Oh, and sorry for being a pain in the arse when picking on the little detail... The runes you used are an anglo-saxon form of futhark (also known as futhorc), not the common germanic, which would have worked better with the title language :)

And the final form of futhark, the dotted runes (also known as gullskoen) would have had a special rune even for "ø"

...ok, now you can hit me and drive me away with the shotgun :D

And why on earth would I hit you...and drive you away with a shotgun XD Constructive Critisism is welcomed^^
You have helped a fair bit, I might do a revised version of this piece :D
