Jormundgand-01
The Jörmungandr is known in Norse Mythology as the World Serpent and it encircles the Earth. I first learned about it when I read Jormungand, the Japanese manga. In both stories, the serpents were slain (by Thor and Koko respectively), thus preventing the transformation that the serpents represented and were to usher in. In my illustration, I’ve portrayed the serpent in a children’s fairytale style, just as it is about to be slain.
