Description
I finally did it! I've been trying for years and years to draw this furry bastard. Finally did it!! XDMaybe I'll get a tshirt outta this pic.
Woot! Norse mythology completely NEUTERS Greek and Egyptian mythology!! XD
Anyway, Fenrir - the giant wolf, son of Loki and Augerboda. Supposedly father of Hati and SkΓΆll.
This is where he is bound by Gleipnir, a fetter made of strange things like the spittle of a bird, and the roots of a mountain. Stuff like that. Fenrir ate Tyr's hand.
Interpretation of Fenrir (c) ME.

Poor Fenrir!Β *pets him, cautiously*Β The Aesir were pretty terrible to him, just because he was big and hungry....

That looks like a fucking shit cat, not a huge beast, did you seriously spend years on this?

Actually, it could look like both a dog and a cat at the same time. For me actually.

Funny thing about Fenrir is he probably wouldn't have tried to kill Odin and eaten Tyr's hand if they would have just left him alone and not bind him because of what MIGHT happen.

I can see that, and you are probably right.

Don't forget the beard of a woman - all of which, these things did not exist.
Poor Fenrir!

Modern paraphrasing of how Fenrir got trapped:
Fenrir: "Is that rope?"
Odin: "... ... ...sure."
Fenrir: "...let's try it."
Two minutes later...
Fenrir: *Sighs* "Dammit..."

Gleipner is made from the noise made by the footfall of a cat, the roots of stones, the beards of women, the sensibilities of bears, the breath of fishes and the spittle of birds. I love Fenrir and your picture. But I also love Greek and Egyptian mythology so............SHUTUP!

He looks so cute all tangled up like that. ^..^

all the info seems correct, and the drawing is geniously crafted.
one of the things they made the ropes to bind Fenris was woman's beards.
...yeah.

No offense, this is a GREAT picture but Fenrir has a sword in his mouth when he is bound i love the picture though, but the Fenrir myth is my favorite myth in all mythology but it seems the sword part just slips away from most people ^.^;; his drool made a river though (which is kinda nasty)

But also, I love that you actually got the ribbon~
and I love the medium that you drew it in!

That's awesome! True to the myth, and with a nice expression and pose. Nice work. ^^

You catch his power of frustrated motion nicely here!

Amazing, I've always liked this guy and had him featured in some of my stories (which are all still in my head) as one of the main characters. Because of all myths he is the only wolf myth creature I can think of, and is one of the coolist wolfs ever!
Great job coloring this pic, you really did justice to Fenrir-sama. *bows to your l33t drawing skills* Your style of drawing make's it look realistic as well, Awesome job

Ahhhhh yes, Fenrir. Quite a piece of work and one of my favorite mythological entities. The muzzle seems a bit short (as he was supposed to bridge the gap between sea and sky when his jaws opened) but this is way more than I'm capable of. Nicely done!

AAAAH. IT'S SO OLD. I remember being PROUD of this thing...!!
I need to redraw it...
But it's not bad, I'd say. He's still somewhat... fluffy.
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't mean anything insulting, It's a whole lot better than I can do. It just seemed to me that he had a slightly (again, no offense) shrunken head. And I would agree he is a tad......erm.......fluffy, I guess, but he still looks bad-ass at the same time. I like this piece, but a revision would most likely be equally cool. Go for it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. I can hate it because nowadays I can do better.
π: 0 β©: 1
Than make a more bad-ass version and I'll fave that one too
π: 0 β©: 1
Then you can remove the old one. (laugh)
I'll see what I can do when I finish this WWII homework...

Good luck. What are you doing? I'm kind of a WWII history buff.

Rise of Hitler. Don't know what we're learning after that, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hitler is a very complex historical figure to understand. You must remember that at the time his ideas on the redesigning of Germany's economy were lauded by such people as Winston Churchhill (who, ironically, was quoted saying "If Britain ever came to the economic troubles of Germany, she would be lucky to have a leader like Adolf Hitler,"). This was in the mid-1930s, before they realized he was a lunatic. I honestly don't know why nobody stood up and took notice after he wrote Mein Kampf (it outlines his entire strategy for the war in Europe and his plans after the end of that conflict). Anyway, after Italy adopted Faschism, Hitler started turning Germany toward what would eventually be Naziism, and the rest, as they say, is history. It is now widely believed that Hitler had advanced syphilis and possibly Parckenson's Disease, which helps to explain his later insane decisions like ordering the Luftwaffa to bomb GERMAN CITIES because he felt that by losing the war his people had betrayed him. It is impoertant to understand Hitler because he in no small part helped to indirectly mould our modern world. The events of his coming to power directly affected all of the world for the time up untill the present. His style of government is also the root for modern Islamic regimes as well. Hope this helps.

(cough Luftwaffe cough)
I'm in German advance studies.
I speaks teh German. And spells it too.
Anyway, yes, I'm quite aware of Hitler's history.
Our next trip is Japan, and their reign of terror. OH DEAR, LET'S PLANT TREES IN CHINESE BELLY BUTTONS. (cough) Those cruel Japanese... yet, I love them... hmm..

I'm a crappy speller. Considering I'm of German heritage I should have enough pride to spell it correctly, though, 'cause the german airforce rocks(ME 262 Bitches!). Sorry if I sounded patronizing in the agonizingly long post, that was not my intention. Just trying to help. I wasn't entirely sure how much history you knew. I tried to hit the magor points. Anyway, as far as the Chinese were concerned, I think it was less like trees and more like bayonettes. In a side note, Hitler was pissed at the Japanese for attacking Pearl Harbor (I find this funny). I hope you have a good night.

Heheh. Don't be offended. I am also of German heritage, though only a fraction. I actually have more Norway in me. My sliver of Native American (comanche) is bigger than my German. And yet, here I am in school, learning German and loving it to death.
And by the time this semester is over, I shall know quite a bit.
BTW, thanks again for finding this piece of mine worth commenting on. >>;

finally, someone else who actually knows Norse myths and doesn't think Fenrir is just that 'crazy mean werewolf' from Harry Potter! Woot! I love this!
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait a minute, there's a Fenrir in Harry Potter?? I hate that goddamn series...
I like the Norse myths...
π: 0 β©: 1
so do I
yeah, Fenrir is apparently a vile werewolf who kills everyone in sight. And she doesn't even reference the myth it's based on! IDIOT!!!
