Lady Hel

Description

In Norse mythology, Hel is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Her brothers are the massive wolf, Fenrisúlfr, and the World Serpent, Jörmungandr.

Hel rules over the realm of the same name located within the icy mists of Niflheim. The souls of those who die of old age or sickness are given to her to preside over in the hall of Éljúðnir. Among Hel's prized possessions are a dish called "Hunger," and a knife called "Famine."


I used some more of the new stuff I've learned in this image. I had particular fun creating the ice texture under her skin and enhancing the tattoo drawing on her arm. I hope people enjoy it!

Nice!, I like that but whats on her wrist? Is that part of the mythology or artistic license?
