Thor

My favourite version of the thunder god has always been the kickass bearded version that Walt Simonson portrayed. The beard just made him seem that much more manly and...Norse.
A close second would be the recent version that Olivier Coipel served up in his great run on the book. Fantastic stuff.

PS- I wasn't going to devote as much time to this piece at all, but then noticed this morning that this week marks my 100th Micks post. Who wudda thunk it.

Almost made it to 72 hours unchallenged! A Micks record...?

Happy centenary, boss. Must be mine this week too, as I've not missed a day. My tally is 93 though. Hmm, I'm somehow un-tagged.

Anyway, great work. Nice ellipses! Lovely solid figure too. Apply my compliments to your real-life appearance, by the way.

Tricky bit of subtle foreshortening on the figure there, nicely done sir.

To be fair Jamie, Thompson and Mooney were using halftone on this blog before I ever tried it. If anything, *I* robbed it from THEM.

Great piece Mooner.

100 posts... mental.
