Mani, the Norse God of the moon. Mostly acrylic paint, some details with oil pastels. I’m mostly pretty happy with how this one turned out. I need to practice hands in general and I’m not 100 percent happy with the waterfall from his hand, but overall I’m very proud of this one. Sunna, the Sun Goddess“Under the Rings of Saturn” this was a Yule gift last year, for a (Capricorn) friend who worships Pan
I’m working on a series of the Norse Gods as the Major Arcana of the Tarot. I started with Odin as the Hermit.
Next I did Loki as the Fool (yes, the art got rearranged, there is frequent rearranging going on here)
And Odin again, this time as the Hanged Man, hanging on Yggdrasil to win the Runes. “Equinox “. I hate that I couldn’t get it perfectly symmetrical but I had to force myself to stop fucking with it bc it was gonna keep getting worse.This was my first attempt at drawing Odin. The hands are horrid. After this one, I started practicing drawing hands just by themselves. Hands are DIFFICULT to draw.This shaman was supposed to be a woman, but ended up with very sharp, manly features by mistake, so I just went with it and added the Adam’s apple and everything. THIS one I started in the spring, but it’s sat unfinished all summer. I JUST now finished it a few weeks ago. I’ve been doing a lot of white, unfinished eyes, for some reason. They strike a werid mystical tone.mixed medium, no title yet. Had this image in my head for literally YEARSThis little gnome and mouse is actually an imitation of a German artist’s style, whose name escapes me at the moment but I’ll try to hunt down. EDIT: it’s Erich Heinemann.Chinese Dragon.Somebody gave me a box of canvases of all sizes, and for a while, I had no idea what to do with these tiny ones. I think they ar 2×2? Anyway I finally made little chakra symbols!I think out of all of them, I did the best job on the throat chakra one. I added a bit of metallic paint to the 3rd eye and crown chakras, to make them shine and stand apart from the others a little.
Well, that isn’t all the art I’ve done this summer, but that’s all I feel like sharing here. I hope you enjoyed them. Keeping creating and keep worshiping the Gods!
