Ah, dammit. *finds man and tries to take it from him, but fails miserably, seeing as how he's probably a lot stronger than me*

This is him modeling the armor. That's his company. Who knows you might be able to talk him out of it if the price is right.

Awsome depiction of Thor! The belt he wears is Megingjord to give him the strength to carry Mjolnir. He was also said to be a red-haired and bearded.

Yeah, but it was also a portrait for someone. I'll have to do another rendition. At least I didn't put a helmet with horns on his head.

Oh ok i see....hahaha yes that is a good thing you didn't put a helmet with horns on his head. To be honest I can't figure out why I never knew about Thor's belt untill I seen this great bit of art work. I seen it and thought "Thor had a special belt? Nooo" so I had to do some research. I guess it is true you learn something new every day....

That's just fantastic. Much like I'd imagine Thor to look like. The clouds and lightning in the background look great also.

Very well done!
the background texture is eye catching. the colours seem to be soft and peaceful, yet there is such power and strenght to it.
a great piece of art

What is your religion, if there is nothing left but a celtic-jewish-teutonic-culture-mix ?

Thor/Donar ist ein Ase meiner alten Kultur. Versuche nicht zu glauben, ihn besser zu kennen als alle meine BrΓΌder.

A beautiful portrayal of the old joker... *eh?... did I say joker?* Well, what do you expect, I mean, he may be a High Aesir, but he decides that the best way to kill a giant water serpent is by using a rowing boat and a hammer?!?! I practice Asatru and I LOVE this picture of mr thunder
