Description

Sooo Thor and Freyr aren't the only ones who have gotten ugh grammar?? lol updated designs..! <: Heeere's the new version for Sif~! <33

Her design comes from a combination of (assumed)traditional viking women's clothing with a touch of seaside flair~ ... *sounds all professional LOOOL*
More specifically, she's largely based on nautical signal flags. ((EXPLANATION: the clothing redesigns for all of my Norse goddess characters are/are going to be based off of the common viking apron dress, but with a different variation for each goddess. Sif's variant is nautical/marine based... and the reason for that iiiiissss: To this day no one really knows anything for sure about Sif's origins, so I'm defaulting back on that handy-dandy artistic license thing and using some theories from various mythology scholars as a basis for coming up with her backstory…. xDD There has been speculation that she may have been one of the Vanir like Freya and Freyr were, aaaand the Vanir often get associated with the sea, hence me using the nautical/sailor theme for her design. xD ... lol I hope that made sense. orz;;

... TL;DR is totally acceptable for that small text above, just FYI~ xDD That stuff's just so the big mythology buffs can see that I do have reasoning behind her sailor-influenced design and I'm not just pulling it out of my ass hahah xDDD

Title comes from this song because I was listening to that a lot while drawing this pfffff >w> sopretty

Do you still draw these characters or no?
