Tyr and Fenris Sketch

Description

Freehand pencil sketch; no references.

Tyr is the Norse God of war and patron deity of the old Saxons.
He sacrificed his right hand, so that the wolf Fenris, one of Loki's children, could be bound. I wanted to put emphasis on the Man/Wolf relationship.
Tyr is the warrior god in a positive sense - his sphere of influence covers courage, responsibility, and the meaning of sacrifice.

Stay tuned for the finished piece ;-)

I like this.  In the myths, Tyr was the only one with the courage to take care of Fenris after Odin brought him to Asgard.
