Quickie - Ultimate Thor



Quickie model done last Sunday evening, 3 hours (2 hours, late mcnugget attack at McD, another 45 mins on the face and arms), with no regard AT ALL to wire topology or poly efficiency... so it's a real mess :(

If you like comics and haven't read Marvel's The Ultimates... you really should - it's a great read (at least, the first two volumes are.. the third one is kinda lame so far). Most of the praise for this comic goes to the gritty, realistic way they approached classic, iconic characters and made them really flawed and human. Anyway, one of them is our boy Thor; he's a big question mark early in the series. The others don't really believe he's the real Norse god, and later on Thor himself starts wondering whether or not he's the son of Odin, or just a freaky-strong mutant with lightning powers and a funky hammer.

This was just a 3D doodle.. not gonna use him for animation or anything, not even gonna bother texturing, just a quick practice session. There should be time to do another one of these next weekend if nothing comes up.

Any suggestions on who to make?
