These artworks are norse-themed viking tshirt designs by Theoretical part
One depicts cunning trickster Loki, who is sometimes associated with fire and flames and also known as father of monsterous creatures such as Jörmungand, the serpent that surrounds the world; and Fenrir (Fenrisúlfr), the gian wolf who'll unchain at Ragnarok and bring a lot of destruction in final battle. That's why he depicted surrounded by serpent and wolf.
Another piece depicts Valkyrie or Freyja (as in some sources it is indicated that besides her other functions Freyja was a war-goddess, and she even appears as a valkyrie, literally «the one who chooses the slain»). Another thing pointing it's Freyja is her necklace,
Brísingamen. The name is an Old Norse compound brísinga-men whose second element is men "(ornamental) neck-ring (of precious metal), torc". The etymology of the first element is uncertain. It has been derived from Old Norse brísingr, a poetic term for «fire» or «amber». Broken swords symbolize the end of everything, end of battle, leaving everything behind. Although Valkyries are the strict war symbol, I really don't wanted the artwork to be too praisive /promotive the war or any violence, so swords are broken.
And the last one depicts Odin, the Allfather in his Wanderer appearance, the wisest of all Norse Gods. His head surrounded by elder futhark runes shining with magic light as Odin (Wotan) is also associated with charms and other forms of magic, besides of his war symbolism, particularly in Old English and Old Norse texts. There is also shining source of light in the middle - it's blazing bright sun behind the mountains of Midgard, but at the bottom, underneath the surface of the material world of men, the Nidhogg, giant dragon/serpent, gnaws roots of the world tree Yggdrasil. There are also two flying ravens and two growling wolves around him, they're permanent companions of the Allfather.

Freyja / Valkyrie artwork
Norse-themed mythological artwork, t-shirt design representing Freyja. As an artist, I also work with such themes as High/Low Fantasy, Dark fantasy and Grimdark, create illustrations dedicated to different mythologies as well as different fantasy universes such as Discworld (one of my personal favorites) and others. I also fond of Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun and Ravenloft of D&D, Witcher and Warhammer Fantasy tabletop rpg settings, Ravnica, the city of Guilds and so on.
So will gladly work on any artwork pieces dedicated to such fictional universes but the classical mythology or other fantasy worlds should also be ok.
