I would say this is an outstanding work, very well worked, the detail level and overall composition are amazing, I have no complain about them.
There are just a couple of things I would say but I think they're more personal opinion than anything: I feel the level of detail is not consistent in the whole picture, the armor is incredibly detailed and then you see the wolve's fur and you see a more strokey look, which is great, I love it, but it almost looks like it wasn't painted by the same person. That and also the fact that there's basically nothing in the far background, which makes it look a little empty. However this last thing is not necessarily something bad, as it draws more attention to the character in the center, but I feel like if there was something subtle, maybe some more far mountains or clouds would look good also, without stealing many attention.
Overall, impressive work! and a very powerful illustration.
The title by itself is a promise for epic image with an impact strong like a hammer strike.
And well... I'm not disappointed on this side. The paining is really strong with a very high contrast movement and a very nice Frazetta look.
The composition is also great with a pyramidal shape ending at the face of Odin, perfect to make it a strong element of the picture.
The technique is really great mixing spaces with very small details and other rawer in their rendering. I don't see strong problem of anatomy.
I don't expect something original, a classic view of the barbaric ages, and well it's not original.
The only problem I have with this picture is really in the impact and the cause of this impact. The picture is about Odin, and what create the strongest impact ? The wolves... This is probably due to the white colour and the contrast they create with the general darkness of the picture. But clearly it seems you have nothing to fear about Odin compare to the wolves.
Still an great work, no doubt on that, congratulations.
