Back from my hiatus to draw Ultimate Thor, still my favorite of his comic looks! Very sad to see that the MCU turned his questionable hobby gloves into sensible chain mail sleeves

Land of The Giants Project for Iceland
This design transforms mundane electrical pylons into statues on the Icelandic landscape.Choi + Shine,is the US architecture practice behind the proposal
Making only minor alterations to well established
steel-framed tower design, we have created a series of towers that are
powerful, solemn and variable. These iconic pylon-figures will become
monuments in the landscape. Seeing the pylon-figures will become an
unforgettable experience, elevating the towers to something more than
merely a functional design of necessity.The pylon-figures can be
configured to respond to their environment with appropriate gestures.
As the carried electrical lines ascend a hill, the pylon-figures change
posture, imitating a climbing person. Over long spans, the pylon-figure
stretches to gain increased height, crouches for increased strength or
strains under the weight of the wires.The pylon-figures can also be arranged to create a sense of place
through deliberate expression. Subtle alterations in the hands and head
combined with repositioning of the main body parts in the x, y and
z-axis, allow for a rich variety of expressions. The pylon-figures can
be placed in pairs, walking in the same direction or opposite
directions, glancing at each other as they pass by or kneeling
respectively, head bowed at a town.Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned
that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take
on a quiet authority, belonging to their landscape yet serving the
people, silently transporting electricity across all terrain, day and
night, sunshine or snow.The Jotnar are pleased by this.
