Loki's Wife

Theology time !!! people love religious art.

about a thousand or 3 thousand years ago Loki (either a god or a viking depending on how much theology you want) got in trouble for pulling a snide prank that murdered the sun and sent the sun to hell for a long while. the earth devolved in to chaos and Loki was bound to a rock with the entrails of one of his "human" sons, to suffer eternally as a snake spat poison venom at him. his only respite was that they let his wife get cursed with him and she gets to collect venom in a coffee cup to sooth his anguish. typical of viking mythos, this entire story seems to be some sort of weird co-dependant sex-drug-demon metaphor.

here is preliminary sketch number one of Loki and Wife, played here by the no eyebrows thugs of CallYourMother, Trevor and Sissy. neither of them have ever reproduced so trevor is bound to the dirty floor with cheap frayed extension cords. Sissy has her own version of how this legend should play out now that its a more overt sex-drug-demon metaphor.

the giant snake-a-pede venom monster is an allegedly real demon who stalks both of them around.

this is more of me trying to rethink the pencil, this drawing took all day. fucking on the floor is uncomfortable and i wanna make them change positions before i blow this drawing up gigantic.

Loki had several children including an 8 legged horse that he gave birth to while he was spending a year being a female horse. wether understood as a mortal or supernatural viking this story is most likely verbatim truth.
