Re: Odin and his Pets
in Norse mythology, Odin (the Allfather of their pantheon) is known to have 4 pets. Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory) the two ravens, and Freki and Geri whose names translate to Ravenous and Greedy, the 2 wolves.

Re: Odin and his Pets
Great drawing, Toe. It's hard to draw people sitting in chairs (much less gods sitting in thrones!) and have it look right, but you nailed it. Well done, sir- GMV.

Re: Odin and his Pets
Great shirt! I love the subtle details, such as on his ax. Is is just called an ax? Or does it have some sort of technical, more ominous name? Hmm... I shall have to google that...

It's Munin not Mugin... but you still get 100 awesome points for going Norse. GMV.

Odin is more know with his association with Gungnir--a spear--than an axe and has yet another pet Sleipnir--an eight-legged horse.
Very excellent and I would still buy it as is!

true, but it was already getting crowded and trying to fit in an 8 legged horse was out of the question.

Re: Odin and his Pets
I think the power of this one is in the little details, like on the axe.

Re: Odin and his Pets
It came out really great, Toe. The details are amazing. I would have changed the shirt color, but that wont deter me from voting.
