So... Loki.
...
Heh.

I went through a heck of a mythology phase when I was younger. (It started in 4th grade, I think, when my brother bought the game "Age of Mythology.") Anyway, Greek was always my favorite, but I adored Norse for how humorous it was. I actually have a pet rabbit named Loki.
Now, I'm going to let you all in on a little secret... I can be a real snooty git. So when the movie Thor came out, I scoffed. "I know real mythology. I'm going to go watch Citizen Kane and eat cucumber sandwiches instead, 'cause I'm classy." (Perhaps I exaggerate, but you get the point. XD) But then, a couple weeks ago, a friend of mine sat me down and told me that I was not only going to watch Thor, but gosh dangit, I was going to LIKE IT.
....And now I'm drawing pictures of Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
Hey, I'm only 13 months late!

So, I have nothing to say about this character that hasn't been said a thousand times before. He's fascinating, ridiculously well acted, and I look forward to seeing what writers do with him in the future.

Well, that's about it... now pardon me so I can go reread Ulysses and watch a BBC documentary on a poet that even I haven't heard of... because I'm classy. XD




P.S. - I think that Tom Hiddleston's face was designed specifically for me to NOT be able to draw it, no matter how hard I try. >_<

I can't even IMAGINE trying to draw Tom Hiddlestone's face, but I think you did a great job! :faint: What exactly is he holding in this picture? Is it a reference to actual mythology or is it something from the movie I just forgot about? Either way, the blood looks really neat! :D I think it's because this picture is like... semi-black-and-white, I guess? So the contrast is awesome! :squee:

I always liked Greek/Roman mythology too, but I got into Norse when I started watching Stargate many years ago. :XD: But I was originally not interested in the movie either because I just assumed they'd screw up the mythology... to be honest... I didn't even know Thor was a Marvel Hero until recently. ^^; But I know what you mean about there being nothing else to say. :giggle: I really loved the movie... and I think this picture captures him really well. :D

Oh yeah, and I have a husky named Loki. He was named before movie-Loki/Avengers happened... after the mythological figure, not the character. But now everyone thinks he was named after the Hiddleston character. ^^; Do you have the same thing happen with your bunny, or do most people know better? :XD:
