Description Have I mentioned recently how much I love these two characters? They are the best.
This all started over here: [link]

So here are some (lazy) doodles of their continuing adventures, in no great order. The thing is, there is no background on Dr. S, so I have had to resort to making it up. It is not very interesting background, but I have added to my notes:

From the left, then, Dr. S is not impressed by Loki's sartorial elegance. Fan girls the world over are, however, so never mind.

Then we have anachronisms ahoy with hair gel. On Asgard Loki probably used goose fat to slick it back. Lovely. Oh well, I'm sure the good Doctor can find him some boot polish, or something.
(On a related note, I see that Loki does appear to have longer hair in the Avengers trailer- however, the quality was so low on the one I saw that it could, frankly, have been anyone. It could have been Russell Brand. Roll on Friday and a higher quality version!)

A little paint sketch of Dr. S, trying out some more digital based stuff. The slogan on the mug is actually from something in partical physics*, not astrophysics (which is what we assume Selvig is a Doctor of)- but you see, where is comes from is this private joke that was started in one of the seminar groups he taught in a lecturing post he had. At the end of the year, the students clubbed together and got him that mug. He was fairly embarrassed by it, but also rather touched, and has taken it with him to all subsequent lecturing posts and government research labs since.
There. Backstory. See, told you it wasn't that great.

And finally, more backstory, as I have decided that the only thing Dr. S loves is science. So you do not talk nasty about science near him, oh no. Loki, on the other hand, thinks science is highly unlikely, and isn't convinced. (He was brought up to believe the Universe is made out of dead giants, after all.) Oh dear. There will be fireworks.

I really want to do a whole series of these, and probably will. The most challenging thing is going to be thinking up witty stuff about astrophysics, since the last time I set foot in a physics lab was for GCSE's.

Characters (c) Marvel
I cannot wait till the Avengers comes along and makes everything I make up wrong.

*'Charm' is a flavour of quarks. So now you know oh my God physics is mental.

No problem.

...

Hehe, I just saw that asterisk in your description. I dunno about Loki being 'charmed', more like 'green'. Or 'strange'.

I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it.

Awww, shucks.

As they say, cartographers do it geospatially.

(Hmmm. I don't think anyone says that, actually....but its the only reason I know anything about physics, lol)

And again, good work, I just got another chuckle out of this.

I laughed so hard at the "shoplifting."

That's basically my reaction when I get caught at things
"Did you eat all my cookies!?"
"No!.... Yes."

aw that's sweet. Hehe, Loki must be using alot of hair gel now that I think about it... or hairspray

VanHinck In reply to Kaktuspuff [2011-08-01 08:52:41 +0000 UTC]

Goose fat!
He must smell lovely in the summer.

Mind you, if he wants to use hair spray, and then start chucking magical fire about the place, it could get dangerous. D:

Favorite bit: "Magic shoplifting?"

And I loooove the idea of Loki lounging about in dress shirt, slacks, tie, and vest. The un-jacketed vest look is a good look.

VanHinck In reply to MiraTheracusia [2011-07-27 11:29:51 +0000 UTC]



Well, in the film, he rocked up on Earth in overcoat and suit and scarf for NO REASON, and no explanation as to where it came from, so now we know!

Villains should all look like they just stepped out of GQ. Actually, so should everybody. This is possibly a big part of why I enjoyed Inception so much.

Well, that and the mind blowing story and imaginative work, of course, eh-heh.

I certainly intend to, if people like them! Whether it should be an actual story with plot, or just scenes, I'm still debating.

The science/magic thing seemed like an interesting point to build around.
And yes, magic shoplifting- like regular shop lifting, but with sparkles!
