Description

It was said that he would swallow the star and devour the gods, so he was restrained, not with steel but with a chain of silk. Betrayed by the gods who raised him Fenrir will lie alone until Ragnarök.

This depiction is the best I've seen so far. It really gives me a sense of hopelessness, and I feel so bad for Fenrir! I feel like I'm staring at a now defeated wolf whose freedom was taken away out of fear from humans (Gods. I know it was the Norse Gods who fear him in myth, but they heavily reflect humans ongoing fear of wolves) I normally don't even comment on here, but this piece makes me pause.
