Loki and...
Interesting picture. I don’t really think a sword and shield suit him, but as a piece of art it’s rather fascinating to look at.
idk, I saw the helmet and it kind of made me think of your loki for some reason
crunchydragonsnax Loki did wear a more modest helmet in I Bring the Fire.

STOP ROMANTICIZING LOKI
I know, the idea of being the one to “fix” him and getting to look at his handsome face all day is appealing, I’ve read fanfictions - but do you realize what kind of character Loki is? He’s not misunderstood. Odin saved him from frozen death and gave him a good life with a good brother and Loki ran away from it all like an ungrateful child. Loki is a spoiled brat. I know, he had jealousy issues - but that was not his family’s fault and no reason to turn on them. Sure, he has his funny moments that show little glimmers of his old self, but Loki doesn’t want to change. He felt remorse when his mother died, but he doesn’t want to own up to it, he wants to continue playing the victim because it lets him avoid feeling guilty for his rash actions. Loki is the God of Mischief and he’s not supposed to take ANYTHING seriously, he’s not going to settle down with just one partner, he’s not going to repent when it’s much more easy/fun to break the rules for his own self gain. Loki isn’t there to cater to your needs, you’re there to cater to his. He would be the kind of boyfriend who would beat you to the floor and laugh at your pain, he would hook up with any good-looking person at anytime he felt like it, and then manipulate you into feeling guilty for wanting to leave him. Sure, Loki is played by Tom Hiddleston, he’s handsome, he’s charming, his sarcasm is gold, his personality is complex and feelsy, but for the fangirls who try to make him out to be some sort of misunderstood boy because they’re physically attracted to him have no idea what they’re saying. It’s letting a man get away with crime because he “looks good”. If Loki were played by a short, stout man with a moustache, he wouldn’t have the fangirls overlooking his flaws like that.
Errr … don’t tag this as “Norse Mythology”, ‘cause it ain’t. It’s Marvel.
Odin and Loki were blood brothers in the Norse myths, and Loki went bat-shit crazy after Odin killed his lover (or wife) Angrboda, ostracized his three children, and against the laws of Asgard burnt Gullveig at the stake. (And later killed his innocent children by Sigyn while trying to catch him for the murder of a servant – which some scholars say was added later to the Lokisenna because the early Christians couldn’t conceive of the Norse gods as being such horrible shits.)
The whole message of the Norse mythos could be summarized as “Destroy the family of a fool and you’ll turn him into a man on fire and he will kill you.”

I am redoing all my covers, but I will do all the books in these covers as well.
