 Next month Dr Wayne Bartlett is talking about Dorset Vikings at WAHLS... so asI sat here watching him talk to Mighty Ships Dan on a Youtube video I drew a Viking, on a boat quietly entering the Poole harbour ...

 It's not inktober anymore, but I thought I'd do some more drawing. Very very simple drawing.

I thought I'd best draw Beowulf, who's only notable feature seems to be he has strong hands.

I started drawing him as a man ripping up a telephone directory, or a Dane Great Hall equivalent, like a pig... but it looked weird, he then started looking like a wrestler, so I went all in and gave him the luche libre Sutton Hoo mask/helmet.
Have you ever looked at the Sutton hoo helmet, it looks pretty dorky.

I think it's the Moustache... apparently moustaches are coming back, and I keep seeing youth on youtube with little midge ure efforts, or bushy Tom Sellick ones.

It makes me laugh, properly out loud. 

Anyway

 Grendel's mother, modelled after Brunhilde.

Actually looking a bit like a poorly Britannia?

Last of the lens flare, I promise no more...

 Got bored of doing warriors so did the dragon at the end of the story.

Sadly looking for references the internet is full of the nonsense film.

So you get a wormy dragon, Dom asked if it was a GertWorm 

It's probably not, it's the same sort of dragon I've been doing for the last 40 years.
