Who was Skoggi then? Was that one of the Dwarves?




Hmm, I know a little bit about norse mythology, but I have not heard about Skoggi, yet. I'll some research and let you know, if I find something.

Other norse myth. animals:
Svadilfari: Sleipnirs father
Tanngrisni & Tanngnost: Thor's goats that pull his chariot
Gulltop: Heimdall's horse

Hi, again
sorry couldn't find anything on Skoggi.

Some more trivia: Did you know it was Loki (the Trickster) who gave birth to Sleipnir?

Anyway, if you are interested in Norse Mythology you should click here.

Thinking about it Skoggi might hav been a mid-80s Scandinavian electro-pop group.

Yes I did know that about Sleipnir, but I had forgotten until you reminded me.

Hey Dogscoff do you have a functional Version of your pictures to use with Rollo’s AI?
I might be able to help convert pictures to 3d, but I already have too many unfinished projects.

I painted Dogscoff's ships and combined them with Rollo's AI to make a full shipset.
Waiting for their approval to post it here.

Nope. Sorry. There has been work done since the Last upload but progress is slow and I've always said it will be. I haven't stopped working on them and I will get them finished eventually.

Yow! I'd better check my webmail. I did have some very definite ideas about the colours and things I wanted to include so I might get a little grouchy about this, but thanks for the contribution.
