Yggdrasil

(Yggdrasil: Squirrel Mail, C.nick Arach 2011)

For those of you who are not familiar with Norse myth, an ash tree called Yggdrasil is the world tree its roots reach the nine worlds, Midgard, Asgard, Hel and Nifelheimr etc. At the top sits an eagle and at the bottom lays Níðhöggr a serpent/dragon, carrying hostile messages between the two is a squirrel called Ratatoskr. As you can see I have drawn a more realistic interpretation of Yggdrasil and I hope you enjoy the different perception.
