edda-for-dummies:

Skin tone, body type & anatomy practise for me, and some… shirtless Asgardian dudes for you. Your dash is now blessed. You’re welcome. 

Freyr & Loki.

There’s a fun contrast in how opposite they look from each other, but mostly I paired them up just so super-tall Heimdall and wide-like-a-barn-door Thor wouldn’t dwarf them. I drew Loki about as tall as Thor, but he’s so narrow that he looks small in comparison.

With the designs of Freyr and Freyja I want to avoid the general “god/goddess of beauty” vibe with pale white skin, chiseled abs and skinny thighs, because honestly? If you’re supposed to represent sun, the richness of the earth, the fertility of people and fields, and wealth and luxuries and whatnot, you might as well look like you have time to enjoy some of it.

“You might call it exhaustion, I call it smoky eye.” – Loki, probably
