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.

 Day 27.. and I think this is Warrior 29?

So that's good as I can probably get a Grendels mother, or a Dragon squeezed into the October blast,

Swing for the hills.

I think that's a phrase.. just checking.

Yep.. it could be cricket, or golf... 

ANYWAY.  This fellow has a big axe and he's really going for it.

Obviously no good.

 waaay back in the past I drew this guy as a biro sketch when I thought it might be fun to do the whole of inkober in biro. I'd obviously forgotten that even REAL Bic biros are a bit blotchy.

So because I thought the chap I drew todat was a bit rubbish I thought I'd ink up this old fellow a bit.
