I don't know how interested you'd be in this, but I would *love* to see you attempt to draw some of the gods of Irish Mythology in a similar style to this. Unlike the Norse, Greek, or even Egyptian Gods, they're very very rarely depicted in fiction, but have some incredibly evocative descriptions in the few surviving texts.
Agree. I collect non-mainstream mythology books. And Irish mythology & stories gives you a lot of galaxy brain moments. Especially when you realize a lot of Irish mythology elements is spread here and there all throughout modern life and media. People just don't know they're of Irish mythology origins. Of course, like all mythology, they have a lot of overlap in other mythologies too. But, regardless of real origins, there are elements all around us that aren't found in mythology stories - except for Irish.
norse and greek mythology are absolutely wild and i love them for it. these are some really cool depictions. i think my favourite is Hel. the gangly body and the dramatic lighting and expression veel very intriguing.
Most of the gods where actually fat and especially Thor. There was even a tale where he nearly drank a fifth of the ocean. But I agree that he is strong he could for example lift the Midgaard worm (a worm who turns around the entire world)
Amazing, I wish all designers would look at sources for making characters, today everything is overdesigned and because they never start with references from the real world it looks fake, cosplay like.
Hello, first of all, I love these depictions! If I may deliver some critique however, the clothing and other cultural aspects are not really fitting for the viking age old norse people. I see the imagery (as well as information of the gods) was very ancient greek/roman inspired. This is because later sources wanted to pantheonize all old gods, however this was unlikely to be the case for the old norse themselves. Tattoos for example have no basis or proof. while it isn't impossible for them to have tattoos, there is no proof for it. the vegvisir and other similar symbols are from way later as well, and have no basis in old norse culture. For more info about these things I recommend "Jackson Crawford" and "The Welsh Viking" on youtube.
Were you reading the title? It says "BASED on the OG sources" Meaning, he applied a stylistic interpretation of the characters. He didn't claim to attempt to create/recreate the most accurate depiction from one of the sources. Get your eyes fixed.
@@noiJadisCailleach Sorry my comment was focused on what he said in the video. Where claims were made that are not true for the period. Also stating something in the title doesn't make my critique less valid. I wish only to provide context and sources for those who are interested.
@@schultzdivision6749 "based on original sources" However he clearly mentions non-original sources. If I were to say I would like to draw napoleon based on original sources, I wouldn't get away with it if I made him wear WW2 era gear and gave him piercings now would I? This example is exaggerated to illustrate my point the title's description. Furthermore I am placing more legitimate places to get sources on the subject than the ones alluded to in the video. I am providing feedback, and the title doesn't change any of what I am saying. "Based on original sources" means something very clear, if nearly NONE of those original sources are present I think that is valid criticism
