THE NINE REALMS:

Þrúðheimr (Thrudheim), the residence of Thor.

Breiðablik, the residence of Baldr.

Himinbjörg, the dwelling of Heimdallr.

Álfheimr (Alfheim), a beautiful, prosperous and bright realm free of the iron grip of war and famine and the homeworld of the álfar/ljósálfar (light elves).

Miðgarðr (Midgard), also known as Earth, the homeworld of the mortals.

Vanaheimr (Vanaheim), a peaceful realm of great nature and the homeworld of the Vanir, lesser gods opposite to the Æsir.

Solstice is almost here :> Been meaning to do a Loki solstice piece between doing Warhead pages and the only time I managed to find was before and after I was sick with the flu for a week.

These will be available as a small print on my Etsy, as soon as I get proofs back from the printer.

hand drawn- no a i used :>
