I really like your eldest gruff.  I mean, I can't see his body, but as far as the face goes, he seems just as warm and friendly as I imagined him.

Great job on the art work, and double props on bonus of adding a puzzle to the art. Totally rocks.  ;D

There's an inside joke on that staff...

Haha, nice, my futhark is a little rusty, but I think I got it.

It also looks like there is something written on the younger gruffs horn.  No idea what though.  Also how Younger gruff could get around the whole lefty/cold iron problem is the gun could be a glock, everything touched on a glock is plastic/ceramic.

Nope, only one secret message in this image.  Sorry, Dan Brown.

Doh!  It looks like the other secret message was  "I need my eyes checked again."  Or with a better translation "need new glasses."  Ah well, awesome picture though!
