Hel


Nordic Goddess Hel, Work in Progress 2008

The Goddess of Underworld
and other works inspired by Norse mythology


Half dead, half alive goddess of the Underworld in Norse mythology. Ruler of Helheim, a realm of cold, hunger and famine, where those who die of sickness and of old age go. Carvings on her throne represent her siblings: the wolf Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr. All three of them are children of the god trickster Loki and giantess Angrboða.

Norse Goddess Hel, Photoshop 2009/2014

The first version of Hel's portrait in clothes more stylized on the Viking Age, wearing a Norse woman's apron held by tortoise brooches. I dressed her black later, in 2019. The clothes and jewelry are not one hundred per cent historically accurate, especially the head dress, but I believe that in a realm of fantasy and mythology gods and goddesses could attire differently to real people of that time.

Work in progress 2009/2010

This drawing actually started as concept art for the unfinshed 2008 illustration, visible below, but I went too far working on it and so it became a stand alone illustration. In 2009 the throne stil had bird shaped carvings similar to the WiP variant in color. With time I wasn't satisfied with it and in 2014 I redrew the carvings into shapes closer to the Viking Age patterns in 2014. Finally I dressed the goddess black in 2019. The 2008 unfinished illustration is still waiting for to be done.
