seidrade:

I was recently enamoured by the gorgeous “Whatever is done from love” series by @philosopherking1887 and decided to try my hand at illustrating some images from it. This is just a sketch for a gouache painting but I like how it turned out and thought I would share it first, in case the painting goes sideways!

Inspired by Loki’s early 20th Century travels through the United States, his impeccable taste in Midgardian fashion, and his recent discovery of a remarkable illicit herb, as recounted in the first vignette, “Desert Flowers.”

I’m still undecided as to whether to keep this 1920s ‘do or give him closer to the hair he has in the first Thor film. Open to persuasion!

(I’m also borrowing heavily from the Arrow Shirt Collar ads painted by my favourite 20th Century illustrator, JC Leyendecker— who was secretly gay as hell and managed to slip plenty of queer eyefucking between beautiful, well-dressed men into his commercial work. My man.)

Eeeee, thank you so much!!

You know, it’s entirely plausible that Loki got a haircut for the purposes of blending into 1920s Western Midgard.
