SciFi and Fantasy Art: Lucid dreams

This is a picture of Olav Åsteson, the main character in a norse mythology myth, written in the period 1000 to 1200 A.D. Olav slept for 13 days and dreamed that he travelled across endless marshes on his way to Hel, or hell. Here's where he sees the Devil, or as he is refered to in the text, Grutte gråskjeggje. That's Grutte Greybeard in English.

This is me showing my support to fellow fenno-scandians and all who use their national mythos as a source of inspiration. Extra points in this case for the use of the consept of lucid dreaming in a context where it's rarely mentioned but where it nevertheless belongs. I whis there were more artists like you in the woods, and I wish you had more work on display.

Great pic, lighting and all. You captured the expression on that guy's face really well, although methinks his face is a little too long. Maybe... make him shorter around the nose area? Maybe it's the beard anyway, and the way he's got his mouth open (love the drool). Pretty good, really. I like your level of detail.
Does Hel (hell) play a big part in your country's mythology? I'm used to the dragons and griffins and goblins and trolls mostly, so it's something I've never experienced outside the bible. Do you know anywhere I can go to read up on any of this kind of stuff (online, of course).
You've got me interested now. Rock on, and keep up the good work.
