Realy nice! You ain't even from up north, yet you know so much about our ancient mythology.

Realy nice sceech, would love to see Oden, Fenrir wulf or Valhalla (spelling? only know the Swedish therms...).

Actualy, don't know if you know it, Thors' belt and mjolnir often have swastikas; it's taboo to write 'em nowadays, but as a little info

Cool anyway! nothing to complain at.

hells angel, Thorr was a party man. He liked to eat and drink a lot. Do you know how a party in Valhalla looked like? Ok, let me tell you: All the great viking warriors stood at a long, unfashioned wood table, with Thorr in the head of the table. They eat and drink all day long and, when the day was over, they steped outside, in a large courtyard and slash each other to death. Then Thorr revived them all and they start the party again till the next sunset. Cool, no?
As for the hammer... Mjolnir was iron made. Not steel, not anything else: iron. So it was pretty heavy. And it was magical. Not even Thorr couldn't touch it without wearing a glove. It beared in it the power of thunder, so the size (in this case

) didn't matter.

ClAyMan, aldo I'm not what you can call a norsman, I kindda look like one. I'm not very tall (1,72 m), but I'm blonde and I have blue eyes. And recent the english history studies tried to trace back the origin of the arian people. And my ancestors, as the vikings, descend from the boreean people, the original arians. So we are somekind of cousins my people and yours.
And yes, I know about swastiks but I don't need to tell you why I didn't draw them. On all the mithologies the swastiks are simbols of life and the way of the univers. Nazists perverted this symbol and the world is one benevolent symbol shorter.
I know a lot about nors mythology. I love the fact that this is the only mithology where the gods, aldo powerfull, know there must be an end to their existence.

Hey buddy, You know what you like all that nordsman stuff you outta check out the movie the 13th warrior. Awesome movie and well done. You picuture i think portrays him perfectly but only in one issue i don't like he looks short.

Rych

Jazzy · 31-08-2003, 08:59 PM

Your picture of Thor is really great, it's a wonderful drawing, the whole thing just oozes quality. Congratulations on a great pic.

So what next ? I'd love to see some more Norse mythology drawings Avatar. Maybe a picture of Thor fighting Jormungand the Midgard serpent on the day of Ragnarok ? Or Odin fighting Fenrir, or just drawings of Surt the fire giant and Hymir the sea giant ??

Mythology is such a great subject to take inspiration from. Let us know what your plans are next, i for one will be very interested to see your next drawing

Avatar-3DT · 31-08-2003, 09:48 PM

Rych, he lookes short because he is a "round" man and because there is nothing to compare him with. You have quite a point there; so I'll add something to the drawing to take out that feeling. Thanks my man!

Jazzy, I see you are a norse mithology fan also. Well, I was planning in time to draw all Asa and Vana, to make a portrait of Helja on Naglfar, reapping the clouds towards Asgard. Maybe some valkyries, maybe Loki... I must put some order into my plans first.

Jazzy · 01-09-2003, 06:33 PM

Wow Avatar, it sure sounds like you'll have your work cut out if you're planning to draw all those characters from Norse mythology.

I think the Valkyries could be a really interesting subject, beautiful women warriors on winged horses ........ flying around searching the battlefields for the bravest of slain warriors .... so they can take the Einherjar to Valhalla ....

I think light could play a big part in a scene like that. I read somewhere that people believed that the Valkyries' armour causes the Aurora Borealis and with that whole sort of transition from Midgard to Valhalla ..... it would be similar to the sort of passage to heaven in biblical stories. Well, it could be anyhow

Avatar-3DT · 02-09-2003, 01:45 AM

I new about the Aurora Borealis and the Valkyries armors but that would be kindda hard to represent in black and white. Instead I think I'll do a daughter of Odhinn kneeled near a dying viking warrior, kissing his forhead.
I guess we, norse fans, get togeder on this, ha?

Daniel · 02-09-2003, 04:47 AM

I love your interpretation of Thor, awesome work. You know, come to think of it, I'm surprised you've never photoshoped some color into those drawings. I'm sure it would really bring them out.

hells angel · 02-09-2003, 02:50 PM

agreed bout the facts and all...was aware of them....but i like a little "creative lisence" if u may so call it!!...hehehe...anyways.....would love to c somethin of a ragnarok scene since ur so into details.....
thor vs midgard serpent,
odin vs fenrir wolf..
now that would be something.

btw...i put up updates on my thread...didnt hear any crits from u so was wonderin..

DanielB, drawing with the mouse is a little like Sysiphus work, ain't it? maybe i'm a sinner and I do time in hell for my traspassing but I'll not punish myself here on earth for wrongs I do not know. I don't own a wacom table but when I'll own one I will try to do something about those drawings, I promise.

hells angel did you checked your thread tonight?
I was thinking to do the most impressive fight on the battlefield at Ragnarockr: Heimdlar versus Loki.

Jazzy · 03-09-2003, 06:08 PM

If you do Heimdall, don't forget his gold teeth

Avatar-3DT · 03-09-2003, 10:55 PM

It would be kindda hard to do that when I'll do it just in greyscale, isn't it

. I was thinking to bring forth the ideea of Heimdlar-Light, Loki-Darkness, and to tweak with it.
But right now I'm working on a creature I dreamed a few days ago. I'm thinking to make a short animation with it, the feeling I have in that dream it too amazing to let it loose.

Daniel · 08-09-2003, 01:58 AM

lol yeah your right man, I've tried doing it with a mouse, it can be hell. And those wacoms aren't cheap either

Avatar-3DT · 08-09-2003, 02:17 AM

You've got it my friend! And I must say to you, I don't really have a great income. The wacom must wait for a while. Priorities buddy, priorities!
