Let´s wikiattack!

Thor (from Old Norse Þórr) is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, destruction, fertility, healing, and the protection of mankind. The cognate deity in wider Germanic mythology was known in Old English as Þunor and in Old High German Donar, from a Common Germanic *Þunraz "thunder".

Ultimately stemming from Proto-Indo-European religion, Thor is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania, to the tribal expansions of the Migration Period, to his extreme popularity during the Viking Age, where, in the face of the process of the Christianization of Scandinavia, emblems of his hammer, Mjöllnir, were worn in defiance and Norse pagans personal names containing the name of the god bear witness to his flourishing popularity. After the Christianization of Scandinavia and into the modern period, Thor continued to be acknowledged in rural folklore throughout Germanic regions. Thor is frequently referenced in place names, the day of the week Thursday ("Thor's day") bears his name, and names stemming from the pagan period containing his own continue to be used today.

In Norse mythology, largely recorded in Iceland from traditional material stemming from Scandinavia, numerous tales and information about Thor is provided. In these sources, Thor bears at least fourteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa, and is described as fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded. With Sif, Thor fathered the goddess (and possible valkyrie) Þrúðr; with Járnsaxa, he fathered Magni; with a mother whose name is not recorded, he fathered Móði, and he is the stepfather of the god Ullr. The same sources list Thor as the son of the god Odin and the personified earth, Fjörgyn, and by way of Odin, Thor has numerous brothers. Thor has two servants, Þjálfi and Röskva, rides in a chariot led by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr (that he eats and resurrects), and is ascribed three dwellings (Bilskirnir, Þrúðheimr, and Þrúðvangr). Thor wields the mountain-crushing hammer, Mjöllnir, wears the belt Megingjörð and the iron gloves Járngreipr, and owns the staff Gríðarvölr. Thor's exploits, including his relentless slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with the monstrous serpent Jörmungandr—and their foretold mutual deaths during the events of Ragnarök—are recorded throughout sources for Norse mythology.

This is an interesting variation of his usual armor. This is how I think Thor would look after he inherits the throne from Odin.

Thor! Odin's son protector of mankind, ride to meet your fate your destiny awaits... Nice one sir! I hope that next time you would go and make an illustration where both Thor and Jormungandr would fight each other that would be epic

I like this one better than your Loki art, but that's only because I can still tell he's Thor. You seemed to take more inspiration from the Marvel superhero than from the actual mythological figure, specifically with the red cape, circles on his armor, and the blond hair. In your own post it says that Thor had RED hair, but you went and made him blond. It's very odd.

Why is it odd? Marvel's Thor is pretty outstanding.

Aenek-Lycaon In reply to Sleuther [2011-05-11 23:40:17 +0000 UTC]

I won't argue that, but his description in the picture makes absolutely no mention of that Thor. This is quite clearly supposed to be the historical-mythological Thor, yet holds little resemblance to him.

its a good picture... but i gonna go on a limb here, and guess that you are american.
Because that doesnt even look remotely like the original tales about Thor! well, i may be a bit harsh, you did get the beard right, but the armour and the hammer are completely americanized.

It's awesome, especially Mjølner! I don't know what his hammer is called in english, and I haven't read the wiki text since I learned of Thor in, what, 3rd grade or something like that? So, I didn't think, I needed to ^^'

My only "but" is the horns. Why? Why did you give him horns?!

Just had to ask that, it's still really great! ^^
