Description
"I am Loki, of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose."This piece. Oof. I have been working on it for months. Have abandoned it in disgust, then rediscovered it and tried to make it what I envisioned in my head. Never an easy thing. But I've finally reached a place where I feel good enough about it to share.
I really wanted to go for the image that Loki had of himself: a hero, a saint, a savior. Hence the religious iconography style with the halo (fun fact, the details in the halo match the throne of Asgard in Thor: The Dark World). A big thank you to some friends who helped me push my comfort zone on lighting here, which was a nightmare.
As always, comments and critiques are much-loved.
Loki (C) Marvel

Omg omg omg this is amaaaaazing!! I actually don't have enough words for this right now so I'm leaving this comment here so that I don't just fave and run, and I'll get back to it later to try to adequately express my love for this painting.

Ok so. Firstly I love the colours, especially that pale blue. They fit the concept so well! Likewise, the lighting is really awesome, and THE DETAILS. Absolutely amazing job on the details, I especially like the subtle swirls (?) on the staff, and the halo of course.
I'm very glad you didn't give up on this!
