Hel in Black, Photoshop 2014/2019
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.
