SciFi and Fantasy Art Ran, Norse Goddess of the Sea by Agnes D. Olson

Ran the giantess was the sister/wife of Aegir, the Giant Lord of the Sea. She and Aegir had nine beautiful daughters called 'The Waves'. Ran had a magical net which caught drowning sailors and brought them down to her hall to live with her. Sailors always kept a gold coin or trinket to give to her, for she loved gold and gold is what lit up the inside of her underwater hall. Like my other artworks, after I drew this picture, I scanned it and outlined it in Adobe Illustrator, colored it and added effects in Photoshop and added additional effects in Painter.

23 Feb 2006	"Anonymous"	Loading... I really like it but i think you should have put more of a story with it. She is so beautiful but at the same time kinda creepy. I think that she really looks like what she should.
7 Jan 2007	Thomas B Gunneson	Loading... if Ran is the norse goddess of the sea does that make her sister of Njord the god of the sea? anyways i love your art work, you should do a picture of freyr thor tyr and the rhine maidens -Thomas Gunneson
3 Apr 2007	Anonymous	Loading... kinda creepy but cool. reminds me of "the little mermaid"...the bad mermaid witch of course(that's a good thing). i think both Tyr and Heimdall are both Aesir.
5 Feb 2008	Shadow Lily	Loading... It is striking. The fierce determination in her eyes is hypnotizing.
