edda-for-dummies:If you know a man who has a really long beard, you should be able to call him “beard-Bragi” to make everyone immediately understand that he’s real about his facial hair. This according to Snorri Sturlason, who names Bragi, the god of poetry, as the one with the longest beard in all of Asgard.I didn’t really feel like making him old and bearded, because really, he’s married to Idunn, the goddess of youth. If you’re immortal, you can grow out your beard without looking like someone’s grandpa. So here are some first sketches.And why is his hair grey then? It’s not, I promise. It’s just the weird variety of natural blonde that’s known as “dirt-road-brown” in Finnish and “dusty blonde” in English. The scale for what’s blonde and what’s dark is skewed pretty far to the blonde side in the Nordic countries. You can see the first variants in the corner, but a “true” blonde looked too shiny and the darker dirt-road-brown was too strong. -- source link
