Visualizing the dark side of Norse Mythology for my podcast project. Created with AI to capture a raw charcoal and watercolor 'Field Journal' style.

I’m working on a project called 'Nordic Lore' where we explore the original, often brutal stories from the Norse Eddas. I used AI to develop a consistent 'Dark Nordic Realism' aesthetic for our visual assets, aiming for a gritty, historical feel.

Thoughts on using this specific style for mythological storytelling?

Any podcasts that don't sugarcoat Norse mythology?

Getting pretty tired of the sanitized Marvel-style Norse myths. I've been looking for pods that actually stick to the Poetic Edda and the brutal history.

Just stumbled across a new one called Nordic Lore. First episode is about the creation myth, and it’s basically just cosmic body-horror (like Odin literally building Midgard out of a giant's butchered corpse). It’s raw, direct, and doesn't hold back on the weird stuff.

Anyone have recommendations for similar pods that tell the history like it actually was?

Link to the one I found if anyone is interested:
