Description

He is the Hound which guards the entrance to Hel (Hell, in the norse mythology). Helheim is the last of the nine worlds, housed by the tree Yggdrasil (whose roots descend from Muspelheim and Niflheim - the realms of Fire and Fog).
Done in Photoshop, with a Wacom tablet, about 40 hours of work. Original size: 2600X4650 px (I tend to work sloppy

I guess he should have had "the Bambi on ice pose" - legs wide spread and a desperate look on his face.
Thank you for the feedback. I hope there will be a time when I will learn how to sacrifice the details for the whole picture. Everything is annoyingly sharp, and I'm losing depth because of it... I'll try to do better next time.
Cheers,

i am loving teh cave and the crystals. I liek the hound also, slthough I feel its fron legs should be more defined at the top, even though it is a shaggy hound. That is just my opinion as I know its not supposed to be a normal dog.

Good work!

P.S I spotted the chains and I am in the process of doing chains myself and I HATE doing chains!!!!!

Great work, but kinda funny to me since my last name is Garms. Come to think of it this is kind of what I look like on some grumpy mornings.

I look forward to more of your work.

amazing concept, maybe frontal legs too short IMO but i really like all the work you have done here

Lovely colours, i do agree with what is said about the front legs being on the short side and also the right leg/paw looks slightly awkward. But on the whole very nice piece and good idea to draw from Mythology.
