This is a modification of the Paladin/Sir Gregory Edmunson skin.
It features some minor changes and details added to the original. Haakon has some blood on his warhammer, a tatoo on his forehead, his beard and moustache are braided and I recolored his armor from green to gray. I've also placed a Valknut symbol on the cover of his book of spells. When he opens his book, you can see the Odal rune inside (instead of the original, where it used to say: "Ozzy"). The texture of his cloak is supposed to represent some kind of fur. He also has green eyes (the original has blue eyes). I think that's all.

Historically, Jarl Haakon Sigurdsson (Old Norse: Hákon Sigurðsson) was the ruler of Norway from about 975 to 995. He is known as one of the last Norwegian pagan rulers. He had a great role in preventing Christianization in Norway.

shiiK: Like a few have stated already; in order for a skin to be approved the majority of it has to be original content. The original content should be made using freehand, but in some cases, and exceptional use of copy'n paste can be approved as long as all sources are credited. This one will need a lot more work before I can approve it.
 
The icons are all there, but for some reason the previews aren't visible. I have posted a reply with the previews.
 
Seems like there weren't many changes done... but i'll download it to see,i'll edit my comment when i have the time. Please keep in mind that the rules state a 75% + modification to the skin for approval... I'd suggest remaking the armor instead of just recoloring... Free-hand,y'know? Well,good luck... i'll re-update when i have the time....
 
I've just started posting resources... I guess I need some time to get with it. Thanks for your suggestions.
