Description
Uh, no ideas for titles...Anyways. This picture was exclusively done for sale on the MMC (Mephit Mini Con).
Done on 23x16 Bristol Board with watercolors, colored pencils and white ink.
A side not: The picture is similar to one of DarkNatasha's pieces. I did not steal it or looked it up or something like that. I didn't even know that this picture exists! (I even have two witnesses who saw how I drew this pic here) So please keep this in mind... (It's amazing how similar those two pictures are..)

Fenrir (or Fenris) is a gigantic and terrible monster in the shape of a wolf. He is the eldest child of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The gods learned of a prophecy which stated that the wolf and his family would one day be responsible for the destruction of the world. They caught the wolf and locked him in a cage. Only the god of war, Tyr, dared to feed and take care of the wolf.
When he was still a pup they had nothing to fear, but when the gods saw one day how he had grown, they decided to render him harmless. However, none of the gods had enough courage to face the gigantic wolf. Instead, they tried to trick him. They said the wolf was weak and could never break free when he was chained. Fenrir accepted the challenge and let the gods chain him. Unfortunately, he was so immensely strong that he managed to break the strongest fetters as if they were cobwebs.
After that, the gods saw only one alternative left: a magic chain. They ordered the dwarves to make something so strong that it could hold the wolf. The result was a soft, thin ribbon: Gleipnir. It was incredibly strong, despite what its size and appearance might suggest. The ribbon was fashioned of six strange elements: the footstep of a cat; the roots of a mountain; a woman's beard; the breath of fishes; the sinews of a bear; and a bird's spittle.
The gods tried to trick the wolf again, only this time Fenrir was less eager to show his strength. He saw how thin the chain was, and said that was no pride in breaking such a weak chain. Eventually, though, he agreed, thinking that otherwise his strength and courage would be doubted. Suspecting treachery however, he in turn asked the gods for a token of good will: one of them had to put a hand between his jaws. The gods were not overly eager to do this, knowing what they could expect. Finally, only Tyr agreed, and the gods chained the wolf with Gleipnir. No matter how hard Fenrir struggled, he could not break free from this thin ribbon. In revenge, he bit off Tyr's hand.
Being very pleased with themselves, the gods carried Fenrir off and chained him to a rock (called Gioll) a mile down into the earth. They put a sword between his jaws to prevent him from biting. On the day of Ragnarok, Fenrir will break his chains and join the giants in their battle against the gods. He will seek out Odin and devour him. Vidar, Odin's son, will avenge his father by killing the wolf.

I'm not sure which DarkNatasha's artwork it reminds... But I guess that pose and the bandage thing are very common ideas.
Anyway, I loved your work. I'm gonna stalk you :]

Oh.... WoW! Nice work, Nimrais! Nice work in deed! The dark colors and shadowing brings a nice dark and sinister look to the picture even if the character themselves isnt sinister.
Though whether or not this looks similar to one of DarkNatasha's pieces..... it is still all you. You created this from your mind and you created from the pencils and inks you used in drawing it. And don't worry if it looks similar to someone else's, we have all been there before. Doesn't mean it isnt your's. *smiles*
Coloring, pose, subject.... it is all great! Awesome and fantastic job on this piece, Nimrais! Keep up the great work! And let those creative juices flow!
