Description Since I started with a mythological theme before, why not continuing in that directon a little while longer.
This took longer than expected and basically instead of drawing it on paper, I drew it on the carton backboard of the picture frame directly.

This is my 2nd artwork of my personal challenge in 2015, to draw on anything but paper.

Yes. That's Odin.

Wow. All I can say. I had a dream about him last night, so this appearing is just perfect. That is Odin.

A very nicely drawn AllFather. Β  Β He looks deep in thought, as he is explained to be. Β The medium itself is excellent too, and makes it look far older than it actually is.

Thank you very much! At one point I was afraid that he looks a bit like Gandalf, but I'm happy no one has made that comparison so far

Well, the funny thing is that Gandalf was based off of Odin. Β So... it's not a terrible comparison. Β ^_^

THAT Odin? Wow, you gave him human face and in general - something good, kind. How seriousness, sad and melancholic he seems to be here. The same with the crow (who is just beautiful and full of grace).Β 
I truly like the hat's structure, reminds me of sea's surface. I admire ornaments, very detailed and artful What a face! Impressive with such "dirty-like", rough skin, with wrinkles, with such light and shadow and such look on the face, such concentration on thoughts.Β 
I enjoy the idea with material, brown background makes an impression of old drawing. And it gives nice nostalgic mood also.
