Grendel's Mother by ndhill

this is great!

It reminded me of a dream I saw once, It was a nightmare: " I saw as a blue monster with too long arms and legs spreaded on the ground, he was sitting and seemed asleep. So I tried to kill it, I approached from his back then I cut one of his arm, but it grew again in a second, I hurried to cut the other arm but it grew again in second, so I ran away coz it was awake! Then I spread some of knifes collection was in an old off freezer. They were shaped in fancy decorative way, and too sharp some were curved. So I chose one, then I walked again towards it but carefully. 

For sorry the dream goes blur it didn't show me what happened next but then but cops had arrived. 

------------
The house was in a sunken town, but this house was half sanken. And inhabited!


Anyway, its a great work and story behind make it worthy.

I enjoyed being here, keep it up.  

Amazing

I've seen this in a Dorling Kindersly book about mythology and monsters.

Gorgeous and sad picture...

You are really talented.

awesome

Now this is how Grendel's mother should look like. A huge upgrade from how she was portrayed in the movie.

love the willendorf venus figure on the altar

*Looking between skeletons, Grendel, and mum* Damn, Grendel was a teeny baby for such a monstrosity!

And am I the only one here that noticed the tears?

My depiction isn't quite as (awesomely) nasty as this, but a bit closer to what I envision the depiction of her in "Grendel", but she's still not Jolie or lil' miss Playboy.
Film makers, y u make Mama Grendel sexy !?

beeeeyond super awesome!

This is a really neat picture, I really like it. The only problem with this, and I'm just being nit-picky here, is that Grendel and his mother live underwater, in a deep, deep lake.

"Big Bertha", as my Brit Lit teacher calls her.

uhh...
lovely mum you got thar grendel...

Did Grendel father those siblings himself?

wow amazing depiction of grendel's mother. i love the epic of beowulf you could say im an english major lol but um i think this work of art is absoulutely amazing. she certainly looks as demonic as the book describes her and her ugly, creepy son.

i would hate to see grendal's dad

damn typo Grendel*

Poor poor Grenel :'(

The debate has raged for centuries whether or not Grendel's mother was monstrous or a valkyrie type warrior woman. I've always subscribed to the notion that she was a monster. It says IN Beowulf, "she welcomed him with her claws" when he enters her lake.

Screw Angelina Jolie! I'm glad someone could be bothered sticking to the non-hollywood version of things. Even better, you interpreted it in your own way rather than just copying, so that's pretty cool.

Oh this is lovely. It's nice seeing a piece where Grendel's mother is more monstrous and war like.

Now THAT'S more like it.

sick dude. really well done. The attention to detail is amazing. i would sell my soul to be able to paint like this. any takers?

amazing job

WOW!!! This is Awsome...Also the second thing I noticed was Venus of (Wollendorf?) under the fire...if that's even what you were trying to do.

awwww T-T poor guys [refering 2 the 'monsters']
they dont deserve 2 b killd just kuz they dont look prutE or friendly
*wants 2 kill the inconsiderate slayer* X<
u can tell im an enviromentalist cant u *.*;
hee hee ^ ^ guilty! Xp

nice peice, love the contrast

where is the hair?

kool!!! i saw the movie and i cant pick which one i liked better!! i like your idea better though..... good work!

I remember reading about that tribe, with the one worrior whose gaze could lay waste to an entire army, but it took three men to lift his heavy eyelid.

I really love your interpretation of Grendal's mother, I think she looks amazing! It's an incredable form and the head has such great form. F*ck Angelina Jole as Grendal's mom! This is much better.
