Sleipnir ring - 99$
★Material: High Quality Solid 960 Sterling Silver★

Borgund Stave Church (Norwegian: Borgund stavkyrkje) is a former parish church of the Church of Norway in Lærdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.
Sleipnir, pronounced as "SLAYP-nir," holds a remarkable place in Norse mythology as the extraordinary horse of Odin, the Allfather. What set Sleipnir apart from all other horses was his extraordinary attribute of eight legs, twice the number of a typical equine. These additional limbs sprouted from his shoulders and haunches, bestowing upon him an otherworldly appearance. Regarded as the epitome of equine excellence, Sleipnir accompanied Odin on countless ventures, astounding all with his unparalleled power, awe-inspiring speed, and indomitable strength. His gallop outpaced any other horse, his kicks possessed an unprecedented force, his leaps reached unimaginable heights, and his neighs reverberated across realms. In the realm of equestrian prowess, Sleipnir had no equal. Fearless and undaunted, he effortlessly conquered any obstacle in his path, immune to the hindrances imposed by nature itself. Should the need arise, Sleipnir possessed the extraordinary ability to traverse the skies and glide through the waters, defying the limitations of mere land-dwelling creatures. Furthermore, it was said that Sleipnir possessed the capacity to carry Odin to and from the realm of the dead, aptly known as Hell. In Norse mythology, the concept of horses with eight legs served as a symbolic representation of the means by which souls traversed the nine worlds, carrying them across the vast tapestry of existence.
The significance of Sleipnir reaches far beyond his physical attributes. He embodies a profound tapestry of symbolism, encompassing notions of swiftness, potency, might, insight, eternal assurance, transcendence, and journey. Even in contemporary times, the indomitable and iconic image of Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, adorns a wide array of accessories, capturing the imagination of individuals from various walks of life. This symbol holds particular importance for athletes, wanderers traversing the earthly realms, as well as those who may have strayed from their destined path or endured the heartache of losing cherished love. A potent emblem, Sleipnir is believed to bestow power, spiritual shelter, and enlightenment upon all who seek it, offering guidance through life's myriad trials and tribulations.
Among the various depictions of Sleipnir, two prominent examples are preserved in eighth-century image stones discovered on the island of Gotland, Sweden. These stones, known as the Thjangvide stone and the Ardre VIII stone, are widely believed by scholars to represent Sleipnir. In both instances, an equestrian figure atop an eight-legged horse, often identified as Odin, takes center stage. The Thjangvide stone captivates the eye with a horizontal figure, possibly a Valkyrie, clutching a spear, while a female figure extends a goblet in greeting to the rider. Interpreted as the arrival of a valiant rider in the domain of the deceased, this scene is replete with symbolic implications. Additionally, the Eggja stone, originating from the mid-7th century, bears an inscription identifying it as Odin Haras, which translates to "god of the army" in Old Norse. Many scholars contend that this stone, too, represents a portrayal of Sleipnir, capturing the essence of Odin's mythical companion in ancient artistry.

Don’t hang about if you plan on purchasing this 15 year old Glenrothes Single Malt Whisky. The Ardlair and The Tormore in this Mythical Beasts range sold out very quickly and we have had a few disappointed customers who thought they would hold off till nearer Christmas. We don’t want you to do the same. • • • #craftyconnoisseur #glenrotheswhisky #glenrothesdistillery #sınglemalt #singlemaltwhisky #whisky #whiskycollection #whiskycollector #singlecaskwhisky #mythicalbeasts #mythicalbeastswhisky (at Crafty Connoisseur) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClecGENLhtK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you make that one decent drawing and you won't stop posting it!
It's been a while since I've uploaded here so I'm making up for lost times. Here's Tyvesses the Naga.
I've actually made a sculpture of him which was actually the whole reason why I've made him in the first place. He's one of my favorite OC's :)
If you'd like an art print of this-check out my Esty Shop!

Quetzalcoatl at Sunrise
The largest painting I have done in a while, based on a rejected sketch for a client who wanted a humongous monster curled on the hills. I modelled a base in Blender for lighting and then fought the canvas surface for a while - the sky's gradient being the worst - because I usually paint on smooth surfaces. A walkthrough of the process is in the making. 40×70cm, acrylic, ink, and coloured pencils on canvas.

Cerberus Unleashed: Exploring the Mythical Three-Headed Guardian Through Vector Art
In the realm of mythological creatures, few are as iconic and fearsome as Cerberus, the legendary three-headed dog guarding the gates of the Greek underworld. This mythical beast, with its serpent-like tail and ferocious demeanor, has captivated artists and storytellers for centuries. Today, we delve into the world of vector artwork to explore the timeless appeal of Cerberus and its representation in modern design.
The Legend of Cerberus
Cerberus, also known as the Hound of Hades, is a creature from ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, Cerberus was tasked with guarding the entrance to the underworld, ensuring that the dead could not escape and the living could not enter. With its three heads, sharp teeth, and serpent tail, Cerberus struck fear into the hearts of mortals and served as a formidable obstacle for heroes seeking to journey into the realm of the dead.
Vector Art: Bringing Cerberus to Life
Vector art has become a popular medium for artists seeking to reimagine classic creatures like Cerberus. Unlike traditional raster images, which are made up of pixels, vector graphics are created using mathematical equations, allowing for infinite scalability without loss of quality. This makes vector art perfect for capturing the intricate details of mythical creatures like Cerberus.
In vector artwork, Cerberus is often depicted in a dynamic and menacing pose, with its heads raised in a snarling display of power. The serpent tail, often coiled around its body, adds an extra layer of complexity to the design, while sharp claws and glowing eyes emphasize Cerberus's otherworldly nature.
Exploring Themes Through Vector Art
Beyond its visual appeal, vector artwork allows artists to explore themes and concepts related to Cerberus in new and creative ways. For example, Cerberus's role as a guardian of the underworld can symbolize themes of protection, security, and boundaries. Alternatively, its monstrous appearance may evoke ideas of fear, danger, and the unknown.
Through color, composition, and style, vector artists can convey these themes and evoke emotional responses from viewers. Whether it's through bold, contrasting colors or subtle, atmospheric shading, vector art allows for endless possibilities in capturing the essence of Cerberus and its mythological significance.
The Enduring Legacy of Cerberus
In conclusion, Cerberus remains a captivating figure in mythology, inspiring artists and storytellers across cultures and generations. Through the medium of vector artwork, we can continue to explore the timeless appeal of this mythical three-headed guardian, unlocking new interpretations and insights into its enduring legacy. From its fearsome appearance to its symbolic significance, Cerberus continues to hold a prominent place in the world of art and imagination.

What do you think of the Mythical Beast archetype?
Tumblr media
I really hate it's called Mythical Beast when that should be the name for Phantom Beast, and it should be called Magic(al) Beast.
But I'm fine with them otherwise.

As nerdy as I am I've never officially been part of a fan club. For my birthday I joined @mythicalsociety I've been following #rhettandlink since I was a freshman in college and their videos have 100% influenced what I want to do in my work. They are just 2 best friends having fun and sharing their silliness with the world. This is the coolest perk a fan could get and I'm happy to own it #mythicalsociety #mythicalbeast #yootooz #coolectable #mycollection #juliostoybox https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAc6W8Ockt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am super pleased to announce that the good ol’ dragon boy is off to his new home this weekend, and some even more exciting news… I will be making a new forest themed dragon in January! The build for the dragon will be going on patreon so you’ll be able to see the full behind the scenes of how it’s pieced together! I’ll be sure to update you all when the build fully begins as there is a lot of prep to be done first. The forest dragon is a commission so it is spoken for, but if a themed dragon is what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to get in touch! On that note, I do have limited commission space for this year, so again, if there is something you desire get in touch! Or head to the website and enjoy all that’s available from the recent update 🖤 #jennascuriocabinet #dragon #mythicaldragon #dragonskeleton #skeleton #boneart #boneartist #oddities #mythicalcreatures #mythicalbeast #mythicalart #bonearticulation #skeletonarticulation #skeletonart https://www.instagram.com/p/CjdVMuGq1S5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
