Description
Possessing the wisdom at the price of his eye, the blind in one eye god does not stop questioning all those whom he meets. The one who formerly taught his knowledge requires that his creatures cultivate the memory of what they received. Odin nearly is never engaged in of real oratorical duels with his hosts. He asks them harder and harder questions. The one who does not know how to answer, the blind in one eye god has to kill him.Such is the fate of the giant Vafthrudnir, which was not able to resolve his enigma.

And here and I thought I knew all about Norse myths. I have never heard of the Vafthrudnismal, and never would have if I hadn't stumbled upon this exquisitely creative and well crafted piece.

Reminds me of the writer Stanislaw Lem. Could be a splendid illustration to his stories. Jaust changing from medieval to scifi - perfect.

Woah, this is crazy looking. I almost couldn't find the head of it at first. Looks strangely mechanical or architectural. Very interesting.

The head of the giant is almost the same as the second giant from Shadow of the Collossus. I especially like the right (our right) mechanical part, It reminds me partly of the huge battleships they had, and I love those. Good job man.

impressive work! I like the mechanical design a lot!
it reminds me a lot to Shadow of The Colossus, specially the giant's face design and the man riding the horse.

Very, very cool piece. If you're into mythology, you might enjoy reading Neil Gaimon's "American Gods." It's one of my favourite books.
