Character Contest 65 – Gemini
Rather than focusing on the twins aspect of this Zodiac, I went more for “duality” and “complementary.” What better place to find these themes than in mythology? In Norse tradition, the ravens Huginn and Muninn are companions of Odin. Their names in English are respectively “Thought” and “Memory.” They fly throughout Midgard (earth) then report to the All-Father what they see. Odin has two other companions. Wolves named Geri (“The Ravenous”) and Freki (“The Greedy”).
For Huginn and Muninn, I went with a contrast of modern, represented by the city, and the natural, represented by the waterfall. Odin’s spear separates the scenes. Yes, there is no reflection in the water. That was deliberate. These are supernatural entities.
For Geri and Freki, I went with a contrast of the futuristic and the paleolithic. Imagine how impossible it would be for O.D.I.N., the mech, to befriend and train a pair of stegosauri!
