How did you develop such an Hethenism-fitting art style! This looks great

Thank you so much for your approval. I develop such style because I have studied entient art styles and the myths a lot (for nearly 20 years), I wanted to create most fitting stile for the theme.

I'll tell you then that you've truly successed at creating the most fitting style

Really love this.

What will the actual "internal" size be if I order it as a print or photo? I will probably get it as an 8.5 x 11. Thanks.

Hellanim In reply to the-mk-ultra [2015-03-12 12:26:15 +0000 UTC]

Hi the size of the motive (the internal as I understand it) will be 6.5 inch per 9.5 inch on canvas size 8.5 per 11.Β I hope that is the answer to your question

the-mk-ultra In reply to Hellanim [2015-03-14 15:42:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! That would work well. Would you mind confirming the 9x12 motive size? I will be putting it in an 11x14 frame that has an 8x10 mat. It sounds like the 9x12 would be a perfect fit for the 8x10 cut out.Β 

BTW I'm probably going to get another 1 or 2 or your other works so I may ask the question on another one too. I have to look up shipping times though to see when I should order.

That's what I felt like a couple of days ago when my daughter poked me in the eye.
As always, I LOVE that style for this kind of stuff.
I never get tired of it.

musika-6131 [2015-02-15 08:52:10 +0000 UTC]

Very impressive, as always! Though I must say my favorite detail is Loki looking bored in the background. His face just SCREAMS "Are you done yet?" XD

Kabudragon [2015-02-11 05:47:42 +0000 UTC]

WOW man this is fantastic. The styalization really makes it feel older and is very well suited to the subject. Your color choice is warm for such a graphic piece, I really like it! And you have every detail! This is a really fun piece, I could stare for ages and keep finding details...

I love spotting the 'hidden' elements of the norse myths in your paintings, likeΒ Nidhogg in the roots and the eyeball in the well in this one. Loki looks kinda bored

Hellanim In reply to SaskiaDeKorte [2015-02-08 14:37:24 +0000 UTC]

And I love when someone recognizes the stories placed behind, yes Loki kind of do not see the point, too theatrical and unnatural for him... he is more into the tricks than the philosophy of existence. I imagine he is more: "Carpe diem,Β quam minimum credula postero." - laugh, joy, sex, play, more sex.... no dead

SaskiaDeKorte In reply to Hellanim [2015-02-09 09:32:21 +0000 UTC]

Your style is so beautiful it reminds me of the old stained glass windows at the catholic churches I was very fond of stained glass windows as a child
