Description

The idea of the concept took me more time than the drawing itself -_- A self-confident and a real Loki.
Well, after Thor 2 I totally fell in love with this character. Born to be king - as he was told all his life - or to die - as Odin said after so many years. I don't think the self-exile was that easy for him to bear , and of course he came back a bit mad. That's why the character changed. And this tragic side stepped aside a bit, but still it appeared in few episodes.
And when some fans say that the very spirit of Loki disappeared in the second part – I can’t understand them. Yes, it was almost killed in the Avengers (I find the idea of Loki as main villain conquering the world idiotic), but in Thor’s second part it was the logical continuation of the end of the first part. One can’t come back sane after being in a collapsar of another world… He grew up, alone. And than, manipulated and pushed by that pride and envy, he failed to become someone he wanted himself to see. So after all that he did his best to never show his weak points again. Though he couldn’t help showing it after Frigga’s death. And during his own one.

As for the art. I’m not really satisfied with the right face, I tried to make his eyes a bit watery, but I’m not sure whether I managed to -_- And the left one seems plump -_- I’ll keep practicing… I haven’t been drawing something in colour on my tablet for too long (about… man, about 2 months, I think).

"Bastard from a basket" feels like a fitting term. But maybe that's just me.
