Artist's Comments

"With a drill's teeth I cut my trail,
I gnawed right through the rock;
over and under me wound the giants' ways -
a perilous path I travelled.

On her golden chair Gunnlöð gave me
a cup of costly mead;
an ill reward she had in return
for her quick kindness
for her heavy heart.

From that good bargain I gained a lot,
now I've no lack of wisdom;
the magic drink *, the mead of poetry,
left with the Æsir's lord.

I don't believe I could have come back
from the giant's court
were it not for Gunnlöð, that good woman
who lay in my arms for love.

The next day the frost-giants found
the High One in his hall;
they asked if Oðin were with the Æsir
or if Suttung had slain him.

Oðin didn't honour his oath on the ring** -
what good is any pledge he gives?
He stole the mead from Suttung's feast,
and Gunnlöð grieves."

This was a request from a friend of mine : [link] , hope he likes it :)

This is was different experience for me. The reference picture of God Odin was not so clear, I tried my best. Forgive me if I left out any props.

As usual Flash MX 2004 - 8 Hours work. Any comments appreciated.

The clean line style reminds me of the typical art found on the front of misslets for Catholic Churches, which makes this sort of interesting to my eye. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't Odin be missing an eye?
:iconrames:

I believe in Nordic legend Odin trades an eye for wisdom. But it's no big deal, I figure.
:iconrames:
