He's a really neat character with a scary face. Also, I am so sick of the snow and cold.

I decided I rather liked the way this guy's face came out, so I thought I'd share a close-up of him, too:

Appropriately enough, it's way past my bedtime.

She didn't volunteer for the position. Like her brothers Fenris-ulf and Jormangand, she had a monstrous bearing that frightened the residents of Asgard. So the gods cast Jormagand (also known as Midgardsormr, the Midgard Serpent) into the sea, chained up Fenris-ulf, and, as mentioned, sent Hel to the outskirts of Niflheim (the really cold place) to look after the dead.

This picture is meant to suggest the moment she realized she wasn't coming back from this place she's been taken to. It's a detail of a picture too large for the forum. You can see the full version here: https://sites.google.com/site/asplashoflime/ It includes the Gjoll bridge and also Modgud, its skeletal guardian.

You may know the story of how Loki tricked Hodur into killing Baldur with mistletoe, the one thing to which that god was vulnerable. Hel agreed to allow Baldur to return to the living, if his mother Frigga could convince every single thing in the world to weep for him. Loki, disguised as an old woman, was the sole holdout. I do have to wonder if Loki's doings in this story wasn't revenge for the fate of his own children. I don't suppose there were too many who wept for them.

Like I said, you have a great eye for colours, and how they work together.

That group shot is great! I'm sold! The guy in the middle got my attention from the first moment. He kind of reminds me of Thorin from the Hobbit movie. They are not the same, but there is something that made me to fall for this guy. I wish I could read the story you are writing for them as I would love to know more!

Thanks! Too funny, I was just telling my husband that Richard Armitage could totally play Ulfvar -- as Thorin he sounds totally like I hear the character in my head.

If I ever get this book finished and published, I will certainly spread the word here! :)

I may go back and mix up some custom shades of blue to give their clothes some variety.

Now I'm off to go work on said story, since that was my plan for this weekend.

I love that hat, and whenever someone finds a use for it.

There's just one thing I find a bit odd. The outlines of the axe's handle and the lute are the only ones that are entirely black, while the rest are more muted, which make them stand out from the rest of the image.

Apart from that this is a great design. You can tell that you "get" colours.
