art inspired by the music of AA

[strangeillusion]

I have been listening to AA for a longtime now, thus I was very much interested in Norse mythology and I'd like to share some of my viking-themed creations here which I made while listening to their songs.. I'm a self taught artist and art is not my profession, it is not my intention to gain more publicity [heck, I don't even sell my stuff].. I've been lurking around the forums and noticed somewhere that the band members got their accounts here as well.. so I hope they'll see these stuff.. :]

please don't use it for commercial purpose without my permission, it's a sincere request.. thanks.

first of all, this is the drawing of Ted..

versus the viking

Berserker

Wrath of the Norsemen [I've done this long ago, much before the release of Surtur Rising]

 

[Thimon]

Wow, really amazingly good drawings! Especially Ted and the Berserk probably inspired by Valhall Awaits me

Very good work, keep it up!

 

[Fuel80]

Great drawings!

 

[strangeillusion]

@Thimon, Thanks a lot, yeah I love that song.. but I was listening to a lot of their stuff while drawing that. :]

@Fuel80, Thank you!

 

[Keenan]

God damn you can draw! Very nice!

 

[Brisantni]

Chapeau! Did you ever think about making a graphic novel?

 

[amon666]

That's really beautiful. Can I use some of them as my facebook profile picture? Credits will be given.

 

[VikingMan]

really great drawings and a great talent as well, keep up the great work!

maybe u can do a drawing of the full band

 

[strangeillusion]

@Keenan, Thank you! :]

@Brisantni, Thanks, yeah that's a great idea.. I should think of a good story for that, I'll definitely do something like that in future.

@amon666, Thank you, yeah sure you can use them.. I'm already using that Ted sketch as my profile pic on facebook and last.fm..

@VikingMan, Thanks a lot, do an art of the band? Yeah that will be awesome. Will do that.

now here is another piece.. I was inspired by the song Down the Slopes of Death.. but the concept is entirely different..

 

[Fuel80]

You are really gifted, awesome drawing!

 

[Keenan]

Damn!

The Berserker is perfect. I really like the sky and moon, this is exactly that technique, that I can not do yet . You have got my respect. Here is some of my stuff:
This one is iterpretation of artwork Twilight Of The thundergod, so it is not mine

This is the only original I have according to Amon Amarth inspired art . This is influenced by And the World Will Cease To Be. Guess why

@Fuel80, Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

@Keenan, Thanks a lot. :]

@Ingvar, Thanks for the kind words my friend, unfortunately I could not see your artwork by clicking those links, it was asking for login credentials. Can you please provide alternative links?

@amon666, The pleasure is mine. :]

Thank you very much! I'd like to share this very old drawing which kind of looks like Versus The World + Twilight of the Thunder God concept. Sorry about the poor quality.
