Oden

[gallon]

Hi guys and girls! This is a Illus for a swedish magazine, and this is the Norse God Oden (in Swedish, Odin for all the rest of you I think :)), with his two ravens Hugin and Munin.He's riding his eight-legged steed (!) Sleipner, and ofcourse I wasn't going to draw a horse with eight legs...so hence the barding (hell, I got serious problems just drawing the horse:))

The background is white because there is going to be an article there (this isn't the hole page so there a lot of room left), and the flying bird will be delivered on a seperate layer so the A.D can place it anywhere he want to create a "flow".

I hope my webhost works (it's been through a lot of problems laltely. Sometimes it'll help to update the page in your browser.

Hey this is kinda neat ... I am reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman... and Odin is in it (I guess there are 2 ways of spelling it). His ravens Huginn and Munnin are supposed to be really huge (they represent Thought and Memory).
