With this redesign, I wanted to distance my work from the essence of the recent film adaptation as much as possible. Think of this as more pure update of the original comic version. I actually thought the recent film was darn entertaining. However, with a painting, I feel the raw emotion can be delivered in a more subtle and powerful way than anything a decent acting performance and flashy cgi can acomplish.

Some of the inspirations here are the way clouds behave during thunderstorms, and of course the powerful messages of modern mythology courtesy of MARVEL. Good vs. Evil, heroism, justice, and freedom.

Why paint mortals when you can paint gods? Why be inspired by photographs, when you can be inspired by dreams?

Be sure to like this image on Facebook/Twitter, or where ever you like to repost things! Getting noticed by MARVEL is a daunting goal, but with your help it might become a reality someday!

This is great, I very like your interpretation of Thor. Is interesting to see something like this to me, because I'm actually working on a lot of Marvel and DC character re-desings. I take more from the original designs, I can see that you have been inspired a little bit by the movie design (by Ryan M.), I think that is fine, it makes Thor look like a real warrior. Outstanding work!

Thanks! but I think you got it wrong with the inspiration (read the description), the only thing I looked at for reference were muscle anatomy books and an original sketch from the first issues of the comic from way back in the day. I was trying to distance my work from the film version!
