Sparks sent flying, my mind thundering
The room of my heart flashing to the sky
The flaring of fumes fill my senses
Pervade this room and this space


The days they blend into the nights
The moon, the sun unite
Order of stars expires
A wonder is born


Sampo, Amorphis

This is me, depicted as The Immortal Blacksmith, Ilmarinen, from the Finnish National Epic: Kalevala.


I don't think I've really said this, but I am part Finnish. I'm a little attached to that heritage. Puhun vähän Suomea. I always liked Ilmarinen since reading the poem. To be honest, I'm surprised the idea of depicting myself as him didn't come to me sooner xD But when it did pop into my head, I couldn't let it idle for long!


While mostly a pose-piece, I envision this as being a moment before starting the task of forging the Sampo in the forges of Pohjola. Or maybe just taking a casual selfie before creating the heavens. Y'know. Just blacksmithy things.
