Artists lie, cheat, and steal.

One of two pieces created for the 2021 Thorki Bang.

I was partnered with the wonderful ravenbringslight. She was very patient with me when I was slow to start, was a wonderful cheerleader once I got started, and was so kind to let me finish after the artist deadline. Fortunately, I was able to finish before our posting date, which happens to be the first day of posting for the Bang!! Anyway, really enjoyed creating the portraits of Loki and Thor for her story, "You Fall I Fall".

 

Going to be honest, the main reason why I picked raven's story was that she included Thor's goats as one of the selling points during artist match ups. Because of this, I was determined to include the goats in the art. I went through a couple of thumbnails to try and pin down the composition. At first I tried a full body composition, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do it justice since my paper was small. Settled on this trio composition after trying various iterations of Thor and 2 goat heads. I looked at so many goat pictures for reference to find the right angle!! Well worth the time to find the right references.
