I created this piece as part of Stylized Station’s Valhalla Art Challenge. The challenge was to create 3D art with a focus on Valhalla/Norse Mythology and I wanted to base mine off of Heimdall, Guardian of the Bifrost and Watchman of the Aesir. This scene is depicting a shrine for Heimdall, where people come to show their respects, I wanted the plants and leaves to give off the idea that it’s been completely untouched for years, yet Heimdall’s possesions appear preserved as if someone looks after them. The ghostly raven also represents Odin through his birds that fly around the world collecting information for Odin himself. Their names are supposed to represent ‘Thoughts, Memory and Mind’ which I thought fit perfectly in this scene. My idea from the beginning was to create a small scene using warm colours to portray a calm and soothing atmosphere, the lighting also helped a lot to represent this. I’ve been really enjoying creating the smaller diorama’s and wanted to continue with that in this challenge.
