Artist's Comments
**EDIT 3/26/08**
Wow, daily deviation!! Long have I waited for this day. Anyway, since there were some print requests for this piece, I've decided to put up a larger version and put it up for sale! So please, if you love me, buy a print (I have to pay my rent in a week!) *************** Hraesevelg, who's name (according to some awfully friendly and helpful folks who commented) probably means something along the lines of "Corpse Swallower" which is pretty awesome. Either way, he's either a jotun who turns himself into an eagle, or just a really huge eagle, who sits at the end of the sky, before the gates of Nifelheim, and flaps his wings. This blows cold wind and frost into the world, causing all manner of winter storms and bad weather. If you are looking at this and thinking "he kinda looks like a chicken" it's because I was greatly influenced by some old norse weathervanes, and the birds on those were probably roosters. Daily DeviationGiven 2008-03-25"~Relotixke creates a brilliant interpretation of a less known element of the Norse mythology. Made with an excellent painting technique, a very clever composition and a stylized bird, Hraesvelg, the winter eagle fittingly recalls the ancient original Norse art."

I had seen his name written as Hraesvelgr, but I wasn't sure if the r at the end was actually part of the word or not. Either way, awesome. Thanks so much for sharing this information!
