First of all, I LOVE Loki, so I had a little fangirl moment when I first saw this.

OK, I'm going to critique this as if it wasn't a tad blurry, because I know that the difficult thing about traditional art is that it never looks quite right when you display it on a computer! It's still very impressive quality, so I'll just stick to the picture itself rather than the scan of the picture.

First of all, top-notch shading! You've definitely mastered your shading techniques and, I admit, I wish I had that skill! That's part of why I gave you 5 stars for Technique; another reason is that I can tell you put a lot of effort into this, and it definitely paid off. The result is superb; one of the best Loki pictures I've seen (which is saying something, seeing as there are SO MANY) - which is why I gave 5 stars for Impact. Most of the Loki artworks I've seen have been ALMOST fantastic, but yours is COMPLETELY fantastic and I added it to my favourites without hesitation!

I also actually really like that the background is just plain black; since you used so much detail in Loki, it could have been distracting to add a background. Not to mention the plain black really makes the gold pop. Black and gold is a good combination, as is green and gold. That's why Loki is such a good subject to draw; he has a naturally great color scheme.

The only thing is Originality. Since so many people have been drawing Loki lately, sure it gives you the attention of his millions of fangirls, but it's not really anything new. But the WAY you drew him (like he's coming at you - his pose has a lot of movement, whereas most just draw him...standing there, which is boring) adds a bit to the Originality.

Overall, I love it. I love Loki, I love the Avengers, and I love this painting. Fantastic job.

To begin I cannot express how I like this peace of work. It is to bad indeed the scan needs a little bit of contrast. but, back to the painting: the technique, believe me, is pretty much kicking ass.
To be honest, it's been a while since I have seen such a good painting like that. the proportion: everything is in its place, everything is simetric in the right way. the texture is perfect, it's clearly perceptible, "toutchable", I have nothing to say about that. The only thing that kinda desapointed me in the painting itself was the scepter; it could have more light, blue and shiny as it always is. the light and shadow system is so realistic, it's like a real image, and that's fundamental to a good drawing/painting. the perspective is great too, it's realy a good work.


This is the best Loki art and the best paint I dare to say I've seen so far around here. Then I have nothing else to say but "very well done".

amazing piece!... maybe you could just do some color adjustments on photoshop, would increase the value of this great painting!

Thank you very much! I will keep that tip in mind, but I'm not sure how adjusting the picture of the painting in photoshop will increase value?? Hahaha, I feel like I would be lying to the customer that buys it

is actually much more the quality of the picture taken than adjustments in ps, because i see that your photo has a lot of grain... and in this case i imagine that your painting is much more beautiful than the photo, the colors must be much more vivid...
so the adjustments that I speak, is you get as close as possible to the original colors that was lost in the photo.... that's it! you got it? hehe

love this! I especially like his cape it looks like real fabric, also I use metalic paint in my paintings too and I really struggle with photographing it so I think you did a really good job here :)

This is a wonderful rendering of Loki. I admit I've never seen the comics, but i did see the movies and you have done a great job.
