This image entitled "Harald the Viking" is by artist Rey Misterio (Juan Molinet).

It is an excellent idea to incorporate a viking.

The only other time I've seen someone combine yeti and vikings is this painting by Tim Biskup:

And yeti-riding (with a person on the back of yeti) is a rarely pursued subject.

The only other time I've seen anything like it is in Dougal Dixon's bizarre book "Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future", which proposes that humans will evolve into two different symbiotic species, one of which being a yeti that carries the other. Here is a page from it.

So congratulations, Mr. Rey Misterio (Juan Molinet), for pushing the field of Yeti Depiction into exciting new frontiers.
