“Crazy cat lady”
🐈‍⬛ 🦅 🐈‍⬛
Freyja, one of the most powerful Aesir goddesses, and sister to Freyr, and daughter Njord the sea god. Her power over life, death and magic makes her a contradictory goddess, at the same time ruling over fertility, love and desire. She is also the goddess of war and death, and with her power in the magic arts can fall into a trance like state called a sjed, where she can talk with spirits and see into the future.
🐈‍⬛🦅🐈‍⬛
Riding her chariot drawn by her two big cats (in this case, the Eurasian Lynx), she also wears a feathered cloak with which she can transform into a falcon. One of her most famous artefacts is her necklace, named Brisingamen, which makes her irresistible to both men and women. As she represents war, I wanted her to have a shield maiden viking look, and took heavy inspiration from Vikings own Lagertha, the first wife of Ragnar Lothbrok and overall badass!

“Beneath the mountains”
🏔🔥🏔
Another realm here known as Svartalfheim, also known as Nidavellir. In this land the dwarfs, also known as the dark elves live beneath the mountains. I was struggling to visualises land that’s underground when everything in this piece is viewed from above. So I came up with the idea of these bottomless chasms and windows and doors in the walls of the rock, with the occasional bridge crossing from one side to the other. The lighting here has warmer colours, which will make sense once the sunrise is drawn in. Next up, Freyr’s sister will be making her appearance with some fluff balls!

“Step into the Freyr”
🗡🐗🗡
Freyr, the brother of Freyja and one of the most important Vanir gods along with Thor, and popular amongst the people of Midgard. He is often referred to as the god of the world, and his name means ruler or lord. He controls the sun, rain and fertility and has great power over wealth and peace. He lives in Alfheim with the light elves (soon to be revealed). He has a ship called Skidbladmir which when not needed can be folded up like a handkerchief into his pocket.
🗡🐗🗡
Freyr is seen here accompanied by his noble golden boar, called Gullinbursti, which he rides into battle. Holding his famous sword, which he gifted to his future wife Gerd as part of a deal to secure the marriage. This however left Freyr distraught, and without his sword he could not feel ready to defend the gods against any attacks. However, he will be reunited with it at Ragnarok and will use it to slay Surtr in the final battle… spoilers!

“Fight fire with fire” 🔥🌋🔥 Muspelheim

“Fight fire with fire”
🔥🌋🔥
Muspelheim, the land of fire, with the giant Surtr looming over. He is said to have a sword made of lava that will be used to slay the gods at Ragnarok! This realm was fun to draw, loving all the warm colours and hellish landscapes. Although Helheim is the land of the dead, aka “Hell”, Muspelheim has more of a classic hellish look. Particularly happy with the look of the pink light on the snow of both Jötunheim and Midgard.
🔥🌋🔥
Pre orders are now open folks for the A0 size limited edition canvas prints!!! Get in touch via contact button on the bio. ETA competition end of March 🤞🏻

It may seem like I’ve still got loads to do, but the end of the journey is bearing as I enter the gates of Valhalla! Once I finish we’ll all be drinking Ale from cuuuuurved hoooorns! @travisfimmel

“THOR”
⚡️🔨⚡️
The Norse god of thunder makes his appearance in the cosmos, swinging his mighty hammer and ready for battle! I’ve taken inspiration from a few sources here, trying to give him that Viking warrior look, with his long red hair, although slightly blond but sticking with the Scandinavian vibes. I’m particularly happy with the light shine on parts of him from the lightning itself, something that I haven’t really experimented with before. Once the bigger picture is revealed, you’ll see he is heading towards his arch enemy, Jörmungandr, the world serpent, whom fight till the death in Ragnarok! Stay tuned over the coming days for a timelapse of his creation also!

“Níðhöggr!”
🔥🐍🔥
Nidhogg, the corpse devouring dragon that lives in the deepest roots of Yggdrasil, lurking in the mist and gnawing on the branches. One of the many creatures that lives in Yggdrasil, this one only stays in one place and does not travel up into the other realms. Often confused with Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent, this huge snake like dragon often dwells near the well of Hvergelmir.

Land of the giants complete! Jötunheim has its horizon now with some snowy peaks layering off towards the sunset. Within Jötunheim we have Utgard, the capital, the Mead of Poetry, Mimir’s Well (and his head), Hymir’s fortress, Skrymir with his abandoned glove, and Yggdrasil’s roots ozzing down through the realm. Pre orders for this piece will be open in the next few weeks folks as the end is finally in sight (sort of). Stay tuned.
🏔❄️🏔
Best up, Niflheim, the land of mist, but with a certain god of thunder flying above it!

“Its roots grow deep!”
🏔🌲🏔
The roots of the world tree Yggdrasil feed down beneath Midgard into the other realms, in this case, Jötunheim. As this world is a snowy one, showing some settled snow on the branches was an idea I had from the start. You might also notice Mimir’s Well, which I’ll delve into more detail on a future post. Loving these snowy colours though!

“Ice to see you”
🏔❄️🏔
Giving Jötunheim a frosty makeover with lots of jagged ice formations and freezing cold water (any excuse to draw icebergs again)! The cliffs on the edge of Jötunheim are inspired by the basalt rock tower formations in Iceland, which is in keeping with the Norse origins. More of this icy world to follow…
