i was reading up on Germanic mythology and i drew this picture of Faust
hes tring to lap up the dew from the tree of life Yggdrasil of which roots extend to heaven hell and the land of the giants. the men will fight over Faust's soul yet ultimately 3 women will decide his fate the Fates or Norns who make spin and cut the thread of fate. the men i chose were Goethe for heaven Nietzche for the land of the Giants and Hitler for the land of mist and shadow.
i'm really into myths and what cultures believed thousands of years ago and how they operated. i think the Faust myth that unfolded was kind of a warning for the Germans. the only way to get out of hell is to get help from the Giants or Ubermensch. you might not go to heaven but at least you could stay on earth.
the drawring is my own interpetation of the myths i studied and i did take some liberties to make it cohesive
