Description Odin's two ravens Huginn and Muninn surveying the land after a battle or maybe a memorial to a fallen hero?

Another drawing I had an excuse to draw for a uni project This will go on the home page of a website I'm redesigning. Originally it was just the shield and helmet, but it was too empty so I added the spear. It still looked odd so I added the ravens!

Strangely enough they're one of my favourite things about Norse mythology even though they could seem so minor.

I just love the idea of them flying around the nine worlds and delivering their knowledge and tidings to Odin. Mankind truly had a more inventive idea of information-gathering before the internet!

Oh yes, indeed, I agree. The ravens were really cool back in Norse mythology. I also really liked the whole story behind Nordrassil, and the lying messenger who ran up and down its trunk.
