hel is younger than fenrir, as she is loki's last child with angrboda.

worg is a fun word from tolkien(lol),... i love the piece though,... and they have the same mother too,... the giantess aurboda, or angrboda depending on the language,... the distress bringer,... of all her children she bore 3 varns(sky wolves),... fenris, hati and skol,... 3 goddesses... hel, gerda and beli,... and the serpend jormungandr, but loki only fathered Fenris, jormungandr and hel, the second husband, Gymir fathered the rest.

it's weird, for a game i was in for several months, i ended up doing a ton of research on Hel and the norse pantheon, which led into doing a family tree for hel,... I should try to draw it out and post it,... it's an interesting family(:

I'm from Iceland and learning Norse Mythology. In our schoolbook, "Snorra-Edda", Fenris is said to be a wolf. But I guess it's just different from countries. A great piece nevertheless. ;D

its actually really good,but Fenrir is a giant wolf not a worg, and thier father Loki was a god while the mother was a giantess...its drawn very well though,maybe you could draw thier other brother?sister the Midgard Serpent.

Yes, Fenris is a worg . The word worg comes from the word "warg" which was used to discribe the wolflike beasts in the norse mythology.

Glad you like it
Loki is indeed a giant too but stayed with the aesir in most of the stories in gudheim.
As for the Midgård Serpent, I drew him in my other drawing "wrath of Thor".
