Description
According to Norse mythology, Surtr is the god/demon who kills Freyr at Ragnarok and proceeds to cover the Earth in flames with his sword of fire. In coming up with this I was trying to think about how religion tied into early cultures and how those peoples may have believed the landscape around them to have been formed by their gods much in the same way that cosmos and natural phenomenon might have been explained.

Now when one thinks of Giants; one thinks of the big, dumb type similar found in "Jack & the Beanstalk" but never would I have thought that a giant could be something like this <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/j/j…" width="15" height="32" alt="" title="Jawdrop"/>
Norse Giants are NOTHING like the giants one reads in fairy tales, the Jotunn are literally beings of promordial chaos & Surtr; leader of the Muspellheim Jotunn show here gives testament of being an ABSOLUTE destroyer in the battle of Ragnarok!!
This image gives a sensation of both terror, awe & pure awesomness one gets when faced with a fire giant on unbelievable, gargantuan & colossal size!!!
The sight of mountains being carved as if they're cake is an immense & fearsome sight & this piece once again shows us the awesome appearance...
