Description

Thank you for viewing my third image of the series *Ragnarok* The first sign of Ragnarok will be Fimbulvetr, during which time three winters will arrive without a summer, and the sun will be useless. During this time, greed will cause brothers to kill brothers, and fathers and sons will suffer from the collapse of kinship bonds. The stars will disappear. The earth and mountains will shake so violently that the trees will come loose from the soil, the mountains will topple, and all restraints will break, causing Fenrir (see *Northern Light: Tyr*) to break free from his bonds. The great serpent Jormungandr, also described as a child of Loki, will breach land as the sea violently swells onto it. The ship Naglfar, described as being made from the human nails of the dead, is released from its mooring, and sets sail on the surging sea, steered by a giant named Hrym. At the same time, Fenrir, eyes and nostrils spraying flames, charges forward with his mouth wide open, his upper jaw reaching to the heavens, his lower jaw touching the earth. At Fenrir's side, Jormungandr sprays venom throughout the air and the sea. During all of this, the sky splits into two. From the split, the "sons of Muspell" ride forth. Surtr rides first, surrounded by flames, his sword brighter than the sun. Muspell's sons will ride across Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, and the bridge will then break. The sons of Muspell (and their shining battle troop) advance to the field of Vigrior, where Fenrir, Jormungandr, Loki and Hrym (accompanied by all frost giants) join them. While this occurs, Heimdall stands and blows the Gjallarhorn with all his might. The gods awaken at the sound, and they meet. Odin then rides to Mimir's Well in search of counsel. Yggdrasil shakes, and everything, everywhere fears. The Aesir and the Einherjar dress for war and head to the field...... ** Thanks in advance for viewing and commenting..... Render On!

The dull reflections of the metal textures give this a very nice touch to the overall feel and look of the image!!!

Absolutely spectacular work! WOW! Fantastic characters, lights and textures coupled with wonderful storytelling. One couldn't ask for better! Well, except maybe Fenrir NOT slipping his bonds ;-) But I know that's not how the story goes. Excellent work!
