Odinby `IdaLarsenArt

Digital Art / Mixed Media / People

Odin - Óðinn - Wotan - Wōden - Alföðr - Alfader
(a few of his hundreds of names)

He is associated with both wisdom, war, battle, death, and magic (he saw the runes in a vision), poetry, prophecy, victory, etc..

Available as A4 print here: [link]

I have been haunted by the thought of creating a portrait of Odin for years now, and finally yesterday, I fell over a specific photoseries by `skiesofchaos who's stock I have been wanting to use for ages now..

So here is the result; Odin in his hall, Preparing to go on another trip to Midgaard - disguised as the mysterious wanderer he is also known as.

But first he must hear the latest news of the world, from 2 of his other ears and eyes - Hugin and Munin!

This was my entry to the 'Nordic Art & Graphic Challenge 2008' at Addictive Hobby

The contest is to be judged by Philip Straub & Robert Chang
EDIT: I actually won 1st place!!

EDIT: And now a DD? I can hardly believe it!
I've been here at DA for almost 6 years and never had a DD, so it's really fantastic for me

THANK you `IreneLangholm and all you guys for all the lovely comments!

The Norse god of supreme knowledge and wisdom, with his two ravens Hugin and Munin; Thought and Memory, bringing him news of the world. Odin by `mizzdraconia captures the spirit of the mythological figure very well. Beautifully done. ( Featured by `IreneLangholm )
