A while back I started a story about Edward Matrtyr, as he was a local boy... king... murdered by his brother just down the road at Corfe, then his corpse was stashed at Lady St Mary here in Wareham.
After a bit of malarkey the bones eventually ended up in the cutlery drawer of an Orthodox church.
Allegedly.
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...
