"Drake of the Runes" by Johanna Holmlund

::agrees with Tony the Tiger, above::: yes, it is grrrreat. Very vivid. You show an aptitude with markers that I'd really like to see you develop.

*nods* 'ello. The first rune is called Algiz, the rune of protection. The second is Jera = time, the third is sawulo = healing, luck, etc, Ansunz=wisdom, revenge Thurisaz=choas, true will kenaz=knwoledge Nauthiz=future, opportunity hagulaz=change, disruptive forces uruz=higher self, determination Okay, now that i'm through teaching, I think it's a great attempt with marker...I myself am terrible at that medium. Blessed Be!

You colored that w/ markers? Woah! That is kick ASS!! I love coloring w/ markers but I am not that good!!! (Special note to artist: e-mail me and I might consider doing a pic trade or I will set you up a link!)

Yoyo, this is a great picture. Shut up about it not being a good picture! For your first attempt at marker, it is VERY good! BTW, my best friend has seen your drawings and is amazed. She says "hi". Bye bye now!

Damn. That's just spiffyroony, ya know that?

that is a phat tatoo

*cries* Dragon wings... dragon.. with FIRE! MOERO! Wow this is marker? (sorry i'm not an art person so i cant tell easily) I love how you curve the body.. so elegant...

The Runes you used are (in order from top to bottom)
Elhaz – The Elk, Defense
Jera – The Threshing Stave, Completion
Sigil – The Sun, Success
Ansuz – The Windblown Cloak, Message
Thorn – The Giant or The Hammer, Challenge
Kenaz – The light of a Torch, Illumination (but you have it inverted meaning Darkness)
Nyd – Signal Fire, Necessity (but you have it inverted meaning Contentment)
Hagal – Hail, Shelter (its inverted so it would mean being exposed to the elements)
Uruz – The Aurochs (a kind of ox), Strength

Keep in mind, there are 25 Runes and all but one of them (Wyrd – Tree of the World, The Unknown) can be inverted to the exact opposite meaning.

It is a good piece of art. It can still use work, but that is why we practice. And hey, I could not have drawn something like that.

(For more information of Runes check out this site, I find it helpful for school projects, http://www.midnightmoonchild.com/moonchildrunelistpage.html)
