Draugr VS Draugen: A Norwegian Fairytale of Sea Trolls and Viking Zombies

Are you ready for a spooky story from Norway? If you only know of the Draugr from Skyrim and God of War, in this video I explain a little about the later Norwegian undead lore, through the story of the Land-drauger and the Sjødraug. Enjoy the art and story. 

This story is based on a migratory legend, which means it has many variations and adaptations across different cultures and regions. If you know a similar story from your own background, feel free to share it in the comments below.

THE TOOLS I USE:
All these tools are things I use myself. That being said, there’s so many great brands, big and small, that produce amazing alternatives, and you can also get them from other stores than Amazon. However, if you use the affiliate links below, I get a small cut. 

All of the sets recommended below will include color or brush variations that might be superfluous. I tend to buy both sets and individual items, because I like the flexibility. But on a budget, just get the one item you need.

BOOKS & INSPIRATION:
I’ve learned to draw from a lot of books, most of them on drawing and penciling comics. But the two most important for my own artistic journey were probably: 

How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way: https://amzn.to/3IghYtS 

Bridgman’s Complete guide To Drawing From Life: https://amzn.to/3IeUd5f 
(I’m not satisfied with the print, but great book still)

None of them have to do with inking directly with a brush, but they lay the groundwork for most of what I do.
