Drawtober - day 3 - Ophis, old & thurisaz

Failed to hit the mark with Drawesome's prompts but I managed three others so yay!
SPNtober's old is a bit of a scrabble but the legend of Thor going fishing and fighting Loki's child Jormundgandr is pretty ancient so I'm counting that. Nikolas_tower's Obscurtober's prompt was ophis, which is about snakes - hence the World Serpent, and thurisaz is Thor's rune, for Jonas Lau Markussen's Futharktober, both on Instagram.



Day 3 old, ophis & thurisaz





I forgot to take in progress pics, but bascially I sketched in pencil in my Mossery sketchbook, inked with a 0.05mm fine liner, then watercoloured over the rest. Oh and I tried masking fluid for the lightning but it didn't work that well. I should probably have used white ink instead. So I added a bit of white digitally. My watercolours are all handmade ones by Kwartscreations, and they have some fab granulations.

OH, this is stunning! The snake looks incredible and I'm just crazy about the sky colors - and all the colors - plus that lighting!!

Thank you! The skies were fun to do, that paint separates out and the smoky effects are so interesting!
