A New Year, New Ideas, and Brighter Days Ahead
A new year is here — and up here in cold Sweden, that means long nights, frosted mornings, and a quiet kind of inspiration that only winter brings. While the days are still short, the light is slowly returning, and with it comes new energy, new ideas, and a strong creative drive. This is our very first blog post, and we’re excited to finally open up this space. Going forward, we’re aiming to share a post once a month — thoughts, updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and reflections from the workbench here at Design Team Valhalla. Before looking ahead, we want to take a moment to look back.
Thank You for an Incredible Year
The past year has been intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding. None of what we do would be possible without you — the artists, creators, tattooers, illustrators, and designers who use our work, share feedback, and support what we build. Every message, review, suggestion, and bit of constructive criticism helps us grow. It pushes us to refine our tools, improve our references, and continue delivering high-quality, handcrafted assets made by real artists — for real artists. Your support is what keeps Design Team Valhalla moving forward, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Looking Ahead
This new year already feels full of possibility. Right now, the workbench is busy. We have several new bundles in progress — carefully crafted reference packs, tools, and creative assets designed to spark ideas and support your workflow, whether you’re sketching, tattooing, or building something entirely new. As always, our focus remains on clean edges, strong fundamentals, and authentic artistic craftsmanship. We’re also excited to share more of the process behind our work — the thoughts, trials, and inspirations that go into each release. This blog will be a place to slow down a bit, reflect, and connect beyond product launches.
Brighter Days Ahead
Even in the darkest months, creativity has a way of cutting through the cold. We believe that art thrives in contrast — light against shadow, rough textures against clean lines, tradition meeting new ideas. That belief continues to guide everything we create. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’re looking forward to another year of learning, experimenting, and building tools that help you create your best work. Until next time — Stay creative. — Design Team Valhalla ⚔️
