An introduction of a new character called Sleipnir. I always liked the idea of characters with freaky features, extra limbs are no exception. And since Sleipnir is a creature from Norse mythology who had eight legs, I thought, why not?

The random soldier is just there for the sake of showing scale.

I really enjoy doing abstract backgrounds like this, but I hope it isn't so abstract that you can't tell that there is a snow storm going on here.

Unfortunately, my spray bottle broke so I couldn't get the cool texture effect that I got in 'Ny Batteri', but an old toothbrush works just fine I suppose. I also coated this piece with some old perfume my grandmother gave me, that belonged to my great grandmother after she passed away about, eight years ago. The perfume had dried up, but by adding water I was able to get the smell back. Now my house stinks of her perfume. :P

Awsome style

I like the idea of letting the characters drawn just with pencil, But more than a snowstorm I see an sky, becose the ground is earth though.

Also I wonder what the fuck did norses smoked.

StarwolfTsuname responds:

It is different and experimental for me, but thank you! :D

I think the Nordic folk smoked the same weird plants the Greeks did....Although in Norway, it's more potent and result in trippy myths that we read about today. :D
