Beowulf, Killer of Monsters

Beowulf, Prince of the Geats of Gotaland (Southern Sweden), has heard of the monster Grendel who has terrorized the Danes of King Hrothgar.
With a select band of warrior companions, he sailed from Gotaland to the aid of the Danes.
The heroic warrior has sworn sacred oaths to destroy Grendel and free King Hrothgar's people from the murderous beast.
Soon it will be human vs monster in a fight to the death.
After its latest raid, Beowulf challenges the beastly creature.
The hero bests Grendel by tearing off one of the monster arms. Grendel slinks away to his den to die and the Danes rejoice.
But none have not taken into account Grendel's mother and her thirst for revenge.

Once again, the Hero of the Geats must battle an unearthly monster, Grendel's Modor.
Following the foul creature into the depths of her swamp home. His sword Hrunting is unable to pierce the creature tough hide and the battle goes against the Geat hero. Unbowed, Beowulf keeps fighting and seizing a giant's sword in the depths of the swamp he finally able to strike down Grendel's Modor. Once again, the Danes rejoice and the fame of "Beowulf the Monster Slayer" grows.
All these pieces a plastic from the game Ragnarok that I painted in February.
