Description PLEASE DON'T STEAL. I WOULD MUCH RATHER NOT PUT A WATERMARK SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE ALL THE DETAILING ON THE FULLVERSION OK??

WOO Here's the fully completed version of my long-awaited NORSE PICTURE unfortunately, my art teacher CROPPED it a litttle, otherwise you could see the rest of the edge leaves and the Hati's back-end (the wolf chasing the moon) BUT OH WELL.

This is one of my proudest works


WALL OF TEXT Explanation:

YGGDRASIL = The world tree that supports the Norse universe, and Eagle(unnamed/Hresvelgr) lives at the top, the Nidhoggr dragon chews on its roots in NIFLHEIM (the underworld), the squirrel RATATOSK runs up and down the tree carrying insults between the two (or he's just making them up to cause trouble); the MIDGARD SERPENT surrounds the human world, MIDGARD. Connected to Midgard by BIFROST (the rainbow bridge) is ASGARD (land of the Gods, here I based that on Norse Halls).
In the sky, we have SKOLL and HATI, wolves who chase the sun and the moon respectively, and wayyyy over to the right is YOTUNHEIM, the icy land of the Giants.

And I added Odin's crows HUGINN and MUNINN to the top corners just for the sake of emphasizing the Norse-ness of it all. (and plus, their jobs were to fly out every day and visit the NINE worlds and tell Odin everything they learnt)

Ok about the NINE worlds, I only drew the central and important ones here. there's like, worlds for the light and dark elves and dwarves and other stuff so please bear with me not including those for the sake of room and confusion.

AUGH that was a mouthfull... If I missed anything or if you have any questions, feel free to comment~!

PeKj [2011-05-20 20:02:23 +0000 UTC]

That's really nicely done. The style fits the subject very well.

The eagle in Yggdrasil most likely is HrΓ€svelg (eater of corpses) even though it doesn't say so in the Eddas. HrΓ€svelg is a gigant in the shape of an eagle that creates the winds of the world with his wings.

If you like Nordic Mythology might be an interesting place to visit and maybe even to join. Art like this would be most welcome

Yeah, I was thinking it was probably Hresvelg, so I'll put it up in the artist comments.

Thanks for the compliment and for the link to the group, I've since joined and submitted this
