Sleipnir run cycle. It could be smoother, and if I get another boost of energy (because animation really requires that extra inspiration and spite) I might even shade it more thoroughly. But it’s good enough for now, and the front legs work nicely!

It must have been a pain to learn to run with that many feet. Foals are usually clumsy enough with just four.

“Grey horse” was an omen and a metaphor for death from viking age poetry to medieval ballads in the Nordic countries. Snorri specifically mentions that Sleipnir is grey, and his ability to visit Hel and take a rider there and back unharmed seems to link Sleipnir closely to death.

Don’t repost, thank you!

@elodieunderglass

norsesuggestions:

  • Description: Óðinn riding his eight-legged horse Sleipnir as described in Snorri 
    Sturluson’s Edda.

    • look at odin is so happy! despite that he clearly failing with the concept of riding a horse! and sleipner is so happy too, despite these mysterious bindings around his 8 leggies.

    what a happy family photo 🙂
