Wednesday - American Gods

Published:

Description

Another image for the 7 images university project based on Neil Gaimans' 'American Gods' novel.

This one isn't a final peice but a bit of sketchbook rough work and will probably look a bit odd up here covered in splatters, but hopefully for those who have read the book he may ring true to your imaginings of Mr Wednesday? Though on this scan you can't really see the slightly smaller pupil of his left glass eye.
For those not familiar with American Gods, Mr Wednesday is the American incarnation of the Norse God Odin (hence the glass left eye and the name - wednesday was derived from Odin/ Woden, woden's day, wednesday? That pretty much sums up Mr Wednesdays' sense of humur with that nicname alone.) He's taller than he seems, almost as tall as the books' protagonist Shadow, very old and neatly bearded but strong willed with a silver tie-pie of Yggdrasil (the norse world tree)nearly always worn on his tie.

Oh Wednesday you old geezer.

Was I the only one who actually cried when he was killed? Anyway, this picture is absolutely amazing!
