A quick facial and cloth rig test of Odin, pressed into service as my messenger for the season.

A test of Thor's facial rig, it's a bit simpler than Loki's, but then so's Thor.

An early facial rig test for Loki from a while back.

Loki and Fenrir amid the stripey trees

A detail of Loki

A detail of Fenrir

Work in progress

The original pen and ink sketch of Loki from ages ago.

This one is part of a larger project I'm working on, but also features in the Brainbelt Illustration Collective exhibition running in the Graphic Studio Gallery until tomorrow.
Loki was always my favourite of all the Norse gods, intelligent, mischievous and quick-witted.
Fenrir was one of Loki's children (One of the perils of shape-shifting amour) by the giantess Angrboða.

The Brainbelt 2011 Exhibition in association with Design Week and Innovation Dublin is opening tonight at six in the Graphic Studio Gallery in Temple Bar. Come on down!

I'm a good bit happier with this one, although it's still work in progress.

Freyja's tears was a skaldic kenning for gold

Brighter?

A slightly different colour treatment

The pen and ink sketch

Not entirely happy with this one yet. Might have another stab at it later.

Freyr riding Gullinbursti, his somewhat absurd flying golden boar. It's one of the odder contraptions from the Norse myths. Only pen and ink so far, haven't had a chance to colour up.

Bit of a lazy one this week. I just find Calvin Klein ads inherently absurd.
If you don't, well, here's Fry and Laurie's take instead:

The All-father holding Gungnir, with Huginn and Muninn perched;
Yggdrasil in the distance.

This one's for the ladies

A quick mock up, that'll likely never be finished. 

A detail.
