This all started when I wanted to make my own Valkyrie shirt. I went online and was looking foran actual Valkyrie that was riding a Dragon. To me that was a blend of both names for the bike. I came across Maria's website (
http://mariawilliam.net/) and was so impressed with her work I contacted her about buying one of the Valkyries she had done already. Unfortunately, they were not for sale but I was able to commission her to create something specifically for me to use as a tattoo, all my blog, and to represent my bike.
I wanted to capture the dragon's spirit and heart and the aura and spirit of an armed Valkyrie since I feel those things when I ride my bike. In the end I ended up typing out an entire story about them and she used that as well is our conversations back and forth create what you see. i.e. I wanted her curvy not to booby and I wanted the picture to show a guiding relationship between the two not a conquering one.
I did turn it into a T-shirt before InZane but it was just a simple line drawing. I did wear it at the rally.
When she gets done I will post both the picture and the story on my blog.
I appreciate the compliments and I will pass those on to her as well.
