I will separate it into two true 8x8 bases, one for Ymir, one for Odin. Fair? Buri was the first man. His son Bor married Bolthor's daughter of the frost giants. She was called Bestla and her three sons were Odin, Vili, and Ve. After slaying Ymir, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

I looked at your vignette and got started! Since I didn't read straight through my handy manual of Norse Myths, I have to use the index. Ah, here it is: Odin, eye lost by: page 15. In the Yeti's ears you can put Viking horns, or flames. Lego thinks (...) (19 years ago, 9-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

I saw the thumbnail on Brickshelf and recognized your style immediately. I'll second the comments about the back, I like the hoses, greebs and the podracer fins on the legs and back.
