Drawing Thor, I wanted to focus on the figure from Norse Mythology and the comic book character from days gone by, and not the Disney-fied Marvel version. I like Chris Hemsworth, and his version of Thor is really fun, but Natalie Portman wielding the hammer and trying to look menacing, combined with Mark Ruffalo’s neutered version of The Hulk pushed me away from watching any of the later movies.
I Googled Norse scenery and that’s what the background is based on. If any member of the Norway Board of Tourism wants to reach out to me to use this in their marketing materials, you know where to find me! You might as well throw away all of your brochures and start printing this bad boy! Just be prepared for a massive influx of tourists.
Anyway, here he is in all his glory, “The God of Thunder”, looking like he belongs on the front of a cheap paperback in the romance section of a grocery store!
