Thor Ragnarok Fanart Illustration

Thor Ragnarok Fanart Illustration - my second time painting my favourite Marvel hero Thor, shortly after seeing the trailer for Avengers: Endgame! Painting the Strongest Avenger this time around had been far more seamless - even though halfway through the process my Photoshop file had become corrupted and I had to start over from a PNG image! With this painting, I really wanted to capture the grittier mood of Infinity War, so I started with a base sketch of his armour and pose. Originally I had begun with more of a mannequinized approach as I blocked out his proportions, before adding more detail to his features. I then started a base paint layer of local colours for his costume and skin tone. I then added more texture detail to his hair and features to match the likeness Chris Hemsworth. Next, I worked on broadening his proportions for a more solid, grounded posture. I polished with lighting to his features and armour, before blurring a background for cinematic effect.
