Description I would still technically consider this a WIP as I'm thinking about buying some more colours of ink and painting this, but that's not certain so I'm posting what I have.

Call me crazy, but I always found the norse myth about the death of Baldur really powerful. I think there's a lot of depth to that story that isn't often explored.

Anywho, trying out some much-esque things. What am I most happy with? Baldur's hair. SO HAPPY.

Yeah, I want to do more with this but I thought I'd reached a good stopping point when I posted it. I have a wicked nasty semester going down right now so who knows when I'll get back to it!

thanks for the comment

You're welcome - I too feel the pain of a wicked semester (especially when it's a full-time status ^^") Good luck!

Interesting picture and concept, and really quite a brilliant sketch.
Would be interesting to see it coloured, but depending on the colours used it might take away the feel of the picture.

thanks Yeah, I have mid terms so I have so little time for the art I want to do, but hopefully I'll eventually get time to colour it.

I really appreciate your comment, thank you!
