Heimdell

I know the Thor movie was very popular- and I have to say I enjoyed it as well. 
Costumes were so interesting and had a great twist to them all. 
And I loved the modern splash they had in it all but I did notice something that nagged at me.
Something about Heimdell... 
He was missing an important feature in his costume...
I had done some research on Viking legends a long time ago but that's the thing! 'A long time ago'.

I couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me so I looked it up.
His HORN!! He was missing his horn!

In viking legend Heimdell was said to 'sleep less than a bird, he could see 100 leagues, and could hear grass growing in the meadows and wool growing on sheep.
Heimdall kept the “ringing” horn, Gjallarhorn, which could be heard throughout heaven, earth, and the lower world;
it was believed that he would sound the horn to summon the gods when their enemies, the giants, drew near at the Ragnarök, the end of the world of gods and men.'

So- as always~
Lets start with off with some fun sketch work!


Lookin' pretty good there!
Next step- Inking the lines!

Once thats all done-
Time to get to the color blocking!
 Once all the colors are blocked out with a nice base
It's time to move onto the shading and lighting and really bringing some life into my design of Heimdell!

(Coming soon)
