Hello, first of all, I love these depictions!
If I may deliver some critique however, the clothing and other cultural aspects are not really fitting for the viking age old norse people. I see the imagery (as well as information of the gods) was very ancient greek/roman inspired. This is because later sources wanted to pantheonize all old gods, however this was unlikely to be the case for the old norse themselves.
Tattoos for example have no basis or proof. while it isn't impossible for them to have tattoos, there is no proof for it. the vegvisir and other similar symbols are from way later as well, and have no basis in old norse culture.
For more info about these things I recommend "Jackson Crawford" and "The Welsh Viking" on youtube.

I don't know how interested you'd be in this, but I would love to see you attempt to draw some of the gods of Irish Mythology in a similar style to this. Unlike the Norse, Greek, or even Egyptian Gods, they're very very rarely depicted in fiction, but have some incredibly evocative descriptions in the few surviving texts.
