Description I have tiger lilies that bloom in my backyard under my window from mid-July(or thereabouts) to the beginning of August, and Someone seems to have A Thing for them. Thus, portrait of Frey with tiger lilies.

This one took about three and a half hours, using a combination of SAI, photoshop 7, and my own photography for the background.

Always happy to see art of Freyr being chill. You did a really nice job on the goatee too

I hate drawing facial hair, so it's always a marvel to see someone do it well.

This is really nice. I am glad to see you depicting the gods away from the norm of being so war and barbaric. Amazing job.

Thank you! I find that they're normally pretty peaceful, unless they're being warlike and barbaric for a good reason.

I agree. Not just with the Northern gods but Keltic, Roman, Greek and other pantheons as well. They all have a gentle side, even Odin and Thor. But its gets annoying to see them always depicted like they are ready to go to war.

I think you did a great job with the tiger lilies!Β  They are one of my favorite flowers.Β  Β  And I love the blending of the gold and green combo in the bracelet.Β  All the colors in the flowers, his shirt, his jewelry, and the ribbon in his hair all match so perfect.Β  You really do have an eye for color combinations.Β  Β  I like that you also used a photograph in the background but somehow faded it out a bit so it's not so IN YOUR FACE.Β  It works really well.Β
