Illustration Friday: Wise

My entry for the Illustration Friday theme - Wise. Wanted to create quite a mystical, Scandinavian storybook vibe... like a wise Nordic god keeping an eye on things.

Super duper color scheme! I thought that up all on my own before I read rrramone's comment!

Nice composition too!

I like this composition and the textured lines a lot. Also I just checked on google and Thor is in fact red-haired. Good on ya!

This is great, that red next to the blue is divine!

What an interesting illustration. I think you really hit the mark with this one, considering what you were aiming for. I thought, 'this looks nordic' when I was perusing the thumbnails on the site.

Amazing work. The lines give a real texture to this piece, and I love the smoke too.

It's the like the weather-worn wildcard of some ancient Icelandic deck of cards. :)
