‘’Before the end of the battle of Ragnorok, Hel saw how things were starting to unfold and retreated to the depths of the underworld. She managed to survive the fires that covered the earth the same way Odin’s sons and the other Gods had dodged death. Here in the underworld, she has been planning the resurrection of her brothers and to reclaim their right to exist in the world.
Hel had already managed to find the remains of her brother Jormungandr, the giant serpent, and had resurrected him along with several fallen warriors from her realm. After what had seemed like an eternity of searching, Hel recently found the remains of her other brother Fenris, the wolf giant. She has longed for this day because the resurrection of Fenris will assure the safety and strength needed to reenter the world without fear of being destroyed by the other Gods.’’
- Dennis McNett, from the book Juxtapoz Dark Arts, published in 2009 by Gingko Press, Inc.
I love Dennis’ style, how he uses a lot of shapes to create amazing detail in patters, it is his animals that I find creepy, they always seem to be at war and from reading the statement above you can probably see why, and where he gets his inspiration, he’s not over the top in his weirdness but there is an essence there.
