Description PLEASE FULL VIEW!

Afresh, this was done for my applied design course culminating: Illustrations <3

Loki is from from Norse Mythology, the god of fire and mischeif; he was punished for murdering Balder by being forced to lay underneath a serpent, dripping venom onto his face forever. Luckily for him his wife held a container above him to catch the drip, but whenever she had to empty the bowl and a drop fell onto Loki's face, he cried out in such pain that the earth moved, thus causing earthquakes. Again, just a blip about a much bigger and interesting story!

Done in Sharpie, ballpoint pen, watercolour and some Arcylic paint

How beautifully illustrated is this tale of Loki. He has to be one of my favorite Gods. I love how genuine this looks, as if it could be on a tapestry.

Very cool! I love the detail in Loki's hair, and how his hair sort of sticks up like fire. Nice job incorporating his wife, too--that's a cool part of the story that sometimes gets left out. Well done!
