Sketching Fenrir!

A couple of days ago a friend asked me if i could sketch a tattoo design for him. "Of course!" I said, "And what would that be?"
 "A Fenrir." he told me, i have to be honest i had no idea what a Fenrir was, the only Fenrir i knew was Fenrir Greyback, a werwolf character from the Harry Potter series. Well as it is, i was not that far away from the truth, a Fenrir is a Wolf.
 
From the Norse mithology, Fenrir is a big bad wolf, "the monster of the river Ván",due to the gods' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him, and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Tyr.

How could i not know about this fantastic creature?? Thanks to my friend Palle i now am a fan of Fenrir, and so i made two sketches of the beast, one more realistic and one more cartoonish, now i just hope that Palle gets one of them as a inked sketch :)
