Gungnir's Might

Description

Odin, the Allfather, is the King of Norse Gods associated with war, battle, victory, and death, but also wisdom, poetry, and magic. Wielder of the spear Gungnir, which is said to be so well balanced  that it could strike any target, no matter the skill or strength of the wielder. He is accompanied by his Birds of Wisdom, Huginn_and_Muninn, who flies across Midgard (Earth) to bring Odin information.

I wanted to depict Odin with a more savage/warrior-like appearence, to emphasize on his title as the God of War in particular. Horns and black metal just seems more badass than feathered helms and chainmail. 

This is probably my first "serious" commitment to an artwork in a long time (About 15 hours probably, over many small sessions, although I do work pretty slowly in PS).

I find when I draw digitally my attention span is so short, I would draw for like 30 minutes then can't be bothered to keep on going, whereas if I draw with pencil I could go on for a whole day. Anyone else got this problem ?
