here is my picture from the 15 hour long exam I just did this week (11th-13th of may)
my theme was "celtic" but since I'm norwegian, I decided to mix some norse mythology into my work
you have probably heard about the "three of life" or "Yggdrasill" this tree had 3 roots that extended into different locations one to the realm of the goods (Asgard) *however, for people not too familiar with the story, it would seem strange that the world of the Gods' was "underneath" the tree, so in my picture I put the God realm closer to the top *
one to the frost giants (who are close to the human realm Midgard[Middle-earth] * or "Miðgarðr" if you prefer the old norse*)
and the third to Nilfenheim- the world of the dead (their "ruler" is the woman Hel *daughter of Loke/Loki)
souronding Middgard is the world serpend; Jörmundgandr (son of Loke/Loki)
at the bottom of the tree is the dragon Níðhöggr/Nidhogg and many other serpents (two named Góinn and Móinn), who gnaw on the roots of the tree, causing it to suffer
in the top of the tree lives an un-named eagle, who holds much wisdom
the squirrel Ratatoskr scrurries up and down the tree with "malicious messages" between the eagle and Níðhöggr.
the rainbow (Bifröst) is the road to the realm of the Gods from Middgard
so yeah....if you read all of that..have a
annyways..the animals are mostly painted in celtic style *I'm sooooo good at linking things -shot- *
media used: acrylic paint watercolour paint Ink some shiney pearlecent paint stolen from charlotte
I'm really hoping I get a good grade on this
please tell me what you think
*camera and bad lighting at school made some of the details dissapear *
*also...I want to give credit to the artist who had a simmilar image, I changed and added a lot too it, but I was still inspired -sadly I dunno where to find that image again..sorry- *
The background is done very nicely--the gradiant change highlights the figure. ^_^

Cool! I really like the way all of the animals look; you interpreted that style very well. I keep trying to say which one my favorite is but they're all so nice... maybe the squirrel... no, maybe the serpent - lol. The roots look really awesome too. Hope you get a good grade!
Oh and by the way, did I hear something about a cookie? haha

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
