Description
Odin the AllFather, personal version~I wanted to have him not look venerable and granfathery, I wanted him to look like a warrior... I don't like the fact he is usually depicted like some sort of Santa Claus with a spear, as I don't like the fact he usually looks awfully older than the other gods: they all eat Idun's apples, so they ALL look quite young.
what do you think? ;3

IMPORTANT
this is MY interpretation of Norse Mythology, and even if I'm trying to stick as much as I can to the Edda, I DO NOT WISH FOR IT TO BE A FAITHFUL DEPICTION!
so if you feel offended because the hair color of a god is not the one you always imagined it to be, because the relationship between two divine beings is slightly different than the one you find in myths or things like that PLEASE KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF.
still I'm open to civil interactions with people willing to show me different versions of the myths I know or willing to share their personal views on some passages of the Edda or on the imaginary surrounding some deities, every mature person is more than welcomed to discuss with me on those matters.

Well, given that among other things, he was the god of SEX; I think you did an excellent job! Seriously, Odin had a reputation that rivaled Zeus for horndogness.

He looks sassy. I don't really know how, he just does...

Older? Yes. Hot? Hell yes! I'd like to see him in battle-mode. Some kind of intimidating pose, ready to strike. He's an authority figure after all.

I wish I could think of something more intelligent to say than 'OH MAH GOSH, THOSE HIPS AND THAT BEARD AND HIS EYE AND THE HANDS AND I NEED SOME NEW PANTS NOW.' but I can't... *sigh*
If you need me, I'll be feeding Garm...

I like your version of him and I agree
Some pics of him showing him old, are nice, but you have a point with the apples

I agree that he has to look authoritative and all, but not like Santa! xD

Yeah, no Santa ><
That would be scary somehow
*has unwanted imaginations of Santa riding into battle*

Gods....
And his weapon is a bell or a mistletoe or something like that
(wait... mistletoe might be not such a godd idea since it is sort of a weapon in Baldrs death)

Oh good, I'm not the only one scratching my head over the apples-so-why-Odin-old thing. I love this design, respectably aged while still clearly the badass he's meant to be.
And his outfit...I want it.

ahahahha thank you
yeah, I mean, maybe he started eating the apples when he was already much older than the rest of gods and so he looks a bit older, but they keep you YOUNG not of your age, he wouldn't look like ready for the hospice anyway!

Damn! If he had looked like this in the movie I might've liked him bit more, (Check that, I would've liked him a LOT more.)

ahahahaha xD
well, everything is better than a grumpy and growling version of Santa Clause...

Yeah, except the Movie-verse Odin lacked Santa's parenting skills XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Odin lacks ALWAYAS of ANY parenting skill xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel like this is Odin's approach to parenting
Odin: (To Frigga) Right! I provided the sperm, now it's your job to raise the little buggers!I'm off to yell at people!

... oh my god but why... ok, I'm not asking myself why there is pointless stuff in a japanese game.

I was a little inspired by Supernatural's version of Odin, he looks like some kind of Russian mob boss, I loved it so much I wanted to keep the badass feeling xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're welcome. ^^ Haha nice!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I love your Odin! 
And I agree, too many people draw him as an extremely old man. >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah it makes no sense! I mean, it makes sense that he looks slightly older, that's fine, he is one of the first gods that ever lived... but not that he looks decrepit! he probably looks like he is in his late 40s not his 60s!
and I began to think Loki does not age at all, in the legend of Idunn's apples they say the the rest of the gods were aging so they forced Loki to go retrieve her, but it seems like Loki wasn't affected... may be the fact he is no Aesir?
