Description

During the deepest of winter, and particularly the night of Christmas eve, it was well known that all sorts of things walked the night, drawn to the light of human settlements. The great dire-wolves were one of those things. In the norse mythology, the wolf Fenrir was destined to one day slay Odin himself as his pups ate the sun and the moon. The notion of great wolves remained in folk tales ever after. So if you knew grandfather wolf was prowling the land, it could be a good idea to keep him satisfied by leaving him a Christmas present.

This is my Christmas card for 2020, the latest in a long yearly tradition by now!

You can find my previous cards in my christmas-card gallery: www.deviantart.com/griatch-art…

There i a timelapse of the painting process here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsSWy8…

Painted using the open-source program Krita, over several days. As usual, feedback and comments are welcome! Merry Christmas!
