Description
Taking a break from sucky homework, and managed to finish this up >wWoooo, it's my ever-so-controversial rendition of Odin~! xDDD (and his ravens too, of course!)
(Yes, yes, I realize that drawing Odin as anything other than a bearded old man is practically taboo or something, but I'm gonna do it anyway.. s-so there..? >w>;; erp)
art + character design (c) me etc etc

X3 Rockin' pimp cane there Odin! Or should it be a pimp spear? Anyway, since Odin famously DISGUISED himself as an old man with a beard, it stands to reason that his usual form shouldn't have one. That would be like Loki disguising himself as a crazy ginger. Not very effective. Enemy Pikachu isn't even breathing hard.
I like your ravens too btw.

True facts, man! Usually disguises are supposed to make you look DIFFERENT from your usual self, after all. :T And I'm sure Odin is smart enough to know that.
and thank you! <:
As for the inbox spam: Yes you are, and I love it xDD haha

Odin is such a smart cookie! (smited) So yeah, unless everyone else is drawing him in disguise (and what would be the point of that? It would be like drawing Loki as a milk maid! On second thought... XD) they're the ones doing it wrong!

Well haha, of course I would never go so far as to call everyone else's wrong, per say~ 
But, atleast I've got ways to justify my own interpretation as well! I'm pretty lucky in the sense that not very many people have called me out on it so far~

Muahahaha! XD It's all part of my evil plan to rule the world. :3 No one will notice until it's too late.

Waa...even without the beard that old man still scares me..
π: 0 β©: 1
Heheh, he's a pretty formidable dude, regardless of what form he takes... xD

I like how his clothes remind me of Merlin from the old Disney King Arthur thing...
It fits soooo well too.
Ah, odin. I love you.

Ah I remember that movie, it was so awesome. <: Now that you mention it, I definitely see the resemblance.

Those shoes totally make up for the lack of beard.

Yessssss! I have redeemed myself with the footwear! That is awesome.

Not even Odin has a beard of awesomeness?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, no beard of awesomeness for Odin! 
My version of Njord might get a beard though. I haven't drawn him yet so I can't say for sure, but at the moment I envision him having a beard of some sort...
π: 0 β©: 1
But Njord doesn't even have a beard in the illustration in his Wikipedia article.

Just checked wikipedia; the version I'm looking at does have him illustrated with a beard.

I thought Gungir would look fancier XD But hey, I'm sure other people have portrayed Odin as beardless, so don't worry about it~ Facial hair is scary anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I decided to make Gungnir more ordinary-looking~ <: That way when he's traveling under his 'roaming wanderer' disguise, it doesn't look as suspicious... xD Plus fancy spears are a biiiiiiitch to draw multiple times consistently.... >.>;;; I tried once....

I always thought Gods would have magical poof spells that allow them to summon their weapons at will XD Wait, wrong story. But yeah, that makes perfect sense~ <3

Lol, well, Odin doesn't have a beard in some of the video games that have him in them. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Glad I'm not the only one rendering him beardless then~ |D
π: 0 β©: 1
Odin shows up in a bunch of Final Fantasy games beardless. XD But he also looks really weird in them, so I don't think that counts. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Just looked him up on google... You're right, he looks REALLY bizarre in those games.... xDDDD (in this one [link] he reminds me more of an Egyptian pharaoh or something than anything else! xDD)

Lol, yeah. XD

Amazing! I loved the composition, your art is really great! His feet and hands⦠And Hugin and Munin!

I LOVE you're Odin design. =[
Iloveallyou'renorsegoddesignsthough.
FFF he looks older this time around- not that that's a bad thing, fits him better, but the way your drew his face looks cool. -shot- xD;;
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks~!! >w< <3
And awesome I'm glad he looks older~ owo That's what I was trying to achieve with the new style~ >w
you did a good job then. ^____^

I actually like beardless Odin more than the traditional one.
Anyway... is that spear Gungnir? ...Does he use it as a walking stick? XD (It's his pose.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Ffffffff, awesome, I'm glad to hear that~! >w> I've always liked him without a beard more too... x'D
And yep, that's Gungnir! LOL I hadn't planned on having him use it as a walking stick, but I must say that's a very amusing visual right there... X'D

And imagine if he wakes up one morning, prepares for travel and accidentally grabs the sharp end.

heheh!
And, imagine if he happens to trod over some sort of small woodland critter(s) while walking...!

Odin: *trot trot tro- squeek -t*
Hoenir: ...You know Idun's gonna scream at you for days on end for this. *pokes Ratatosk*
Odin: -___-;
Loki: Can I roast him since he's dead now? I've heard squirrel meat's good.
Odin: Uh... I don't... *pause* Wait, roasting would help me get rid of the evidence. ...Sure, go ahead.
Loki: YES. *fireballs the squirrel* Burn, baby, burn~ Ehehehehe HEEEEEEEE
Hoenir: *runs off screaming* ...I HATE PYROMANIACS!
