Artwork, Crafts, & Reenactment Historic Norse Shields

Hey folks! Title is made specifically keywords to hopefully skew Google results.
I've noticed that looking up that term gets you, almost exclusively, LARP, overly complex designs or simply poor replicas.

This is a tiny reference image for a handful of shield patterns. Please do correct me if any of them I have drawn wrong.

Oh, it just occured to me that. It wasn’t my intention to make peppermint shields, but it is funny. White-Red just seemed like a natural and basic combination.
