I THINK i’m done with the background…hm. Not sure, stuck that little bit of blue in there because of the whole frost giant thing and i’m pretty sure that’s going to be my main ‘shadow’ color if i don’t do green…or the usual skin shadows, but yeah so this is what it looks like at this point. 

Still no fucking idea what i’m doing but i’m gettin it done.

hipsterdean:

Its kind of all smudgey and messy right now so i’m not sure if i like it…the eye is good though but yeah. Also kinda shows my process with the whole painting thing..I WAS going to do green lighting on the background because well you know loki is green and all…not sure though i’ll see how it all pulls together later.
