Description

my take on thor.
I'll explain myself: I've been chopping wood all day long, and it made me think.
I think Thor is under represented in general. So I came up with a more barbaric image of him.
I first wanted to do it fast and fun.
But then, I figured it would be more logical to do a closer version, if I wanted to avoid to under represent him in turn. So I did some research, both on the original character and the marvel one.

Thor is supposed to be a nordic god, ok? So I made him kind of barbaric, and not looking like Ken ; hence the beard, in a first time. In my mind, he likes a good fight, hence the smile and the scars. That's also why we get to see a lot of his body. Coipel's version is very nice but way too clean in my mind. That's why I kept the armour, BUT in my mind, it is grossely made out of Jörmungand's scales. Jörmungand is the snake who is supposed to kill Thor in the ragnaroK. Thor also kills it, but dies in his turn. I figured that if marvel wanted to use the character, he'd better survive the snake, at least!! That's also why he wears a necklace with huge teeth, as a trophy.
He is 3 times stronger than the other gods, so he had to be massive. And so had to be his hammer, Mjölnir. A hammer? hell no!! I made it a Sledgehammer instead!! Yeah more badass!!! And as he is manly, it hide some phallic symbol ( understand " a dick") on hom, haha!!
I know he is supposed to wear metallic gloves in order to use his hammer, but as it gave the impression that he had his hands covered and protected, I chose not to include them. Instead, it thought it would be nice to make him wear big boots (in order to prevent electrocution, haha!!!)
