Mythology

I'm illustrating a spread about Greek mythology this week. A dear subject for me - strong characters, cool clothes and every now and then - an occasional monster. Here's a favourite: Hades, the god of the underworld with his three-headed dog Cerberus.

The Odin Family

Here's a "family portrait" of some characters  from Scandinavian mythology. I'm generally quite fond of doing historical stuff but with the mythology dimension added it's even more fun. Mainly because it allows You some freedom in the details. Odin's winged helmet for example, is of course not historical accurate, it belongs more in a Wagner opera, but it looks cool.
