Thor by Mike Machlan

So glad Karma rewarded you with a replacement Thor piece.  Good things happen to good people.  Congrats on this well deserved acquisition.

Thanks Eric. It's nice when karma is on your side. May it follow you in 2024 as well.

Awesome Classic Style Thor!! Great Brushwork!! Luv the Hammer!!.....Congrats!!

I worked extra hard on the scan settings to decrease the contrast so you could see the details. Glad you appreciate it!

If you're giving Thor to me
Ring thunder through the worlds Kirby
And Ian Saint we framed the piece
Will be us thanking you
Two Thors you've owned
We'll marvel down the years
Replacing precious memories

Displaying like the way we please

Two Thors are better than one when split between friends. Othewise, your just left with Th....

Great piece, man. Way to drop the hammer on us!

Dropping it like I was in Muspelheim! It's hot!

New art for the new year. Excelsior! 

It's already panning out to be another great art year! To all that are about to go broke. We salute you! Lol.

I see a mix of the Kirby and Buscema style. Beautiful. 

You are well versed my friend. I had to go back and look. You were spot on. Thanks!

Mighty!

I just got a treadmill. They told me all I had to do was walk 30 minutes a day and I would look like this on February 29th. I took a leap of faith. 

Classic Kirby vibe!  The pose, and got that Krackle in the background.  Actually reminds me of his first appearance!  But still all Mike.  Glad you were able to get another Thor back into the fold, and apt song choice as we move into 2024 :)

The eerines of the song seemed to balance the power and allowed my mind to create depth. I could imagine him fighting Surtur, Hela, or Thanos and feeling an inner despair. The words of watching, in the song, made me notice the piercing stare that was placed upon his face as if he was gazing upon Ragnarock. I enjoyed that the song also spoke of wings, which adorn the helm. Change was just an added bonus to match the new year.

Very cool classic looking piece! Also great story; thanks for sharing!

I am a total fan of this classic look and happy to have shared it with a close friend.

How nice of you to gift a Machlan Thor piece to your friend, and so glad you were able to replace it with this gem!!  A truly impressive Thor with, as many people have pointed out, a very classic look that is very cool.  Congrats!

Now I just need to collect a few more characters in their classic look. Love this one though! Its nice to be free to chat a bit again and look forward to posting many more over the next few months.
