Description The gorgeous Tom Hiddleston as Loki in Thor.
Corel Painter 12 & Photoshop

I've put off drawing anything Loki or Tom themed for a few years now, both because people expected me to jump at the chance to draw him and because I honestly did not feel confident to try and capture the character. Eventually, after watching Avengers and Thor and all the trailers for Thor 2 I decided I couldn't not draw him anymore. SO! I've spent a few days restarting and redoing areas of this but I think, for now, it's as close as I can get. I used a screencap from the scene where he Odin admits the truth about his heritage as reference and tried to build up the colour from the background rather than my usual method. I -hope- I did okay? He has such a wonderful face that I don't think I'd ever mind redrawing this haha.

Fun fact: My friend called me from his uni one day to tell me he was with Chris Hemsworth because they were filming Thor 2 on the campus. I squealed a lot then proceeded to listen in because my friend refused to get me an autograph and photos weren't allowed :< Best day.

I'm a relatively new Loki fan, (Honestly, I discovered and fell in love with the character all of twenty-four hours ago, haha) but I think this piece is just stunning. I haven't watched the Thor movie yet, so I am unfamiliar with this particular scene, but I still think your work is wonderfully compelling, thoughtful and full of such vibrant, visceral emotion. In short, this is amazing! If you ever feel inspired to draw Loki again, please do so, because I absolutely love what you've created here.

Oh gosh, that's such a lovely comment! I can't get over how nice you are - thank you so much!

I would definitely recommend watching Thor. I fell so deeply in love with his entire backstory and it really makes you see him in a different light. I hope very much to be drawing him again soon!

Yep! Apparently they film a lot of movies at Greenwich in London for outdoor scenes. When he called me he said 'I can see Thor and a load of silver people running around...does this mean anything to you?' OF COURSE IT DOES! He said Chris Hemsworth started a fight then blamed all the extras when the director told them off for being too violent haha :')

And Loki, using Tom Hiddleston's body and voice, was probably snickering in the corner and then stepped in to quell the fire of the situation.
