One of the most beloved heroes in the MCU is Thor. This God of Thunder captured fans heart with his humor, strength, and character development. In fact, Thor is one of the main characters in the MCU who has gone through a significant amount of change throughout his storyline.
Changes in his personality and mindset, either slight or large, were often depicted visually in the design and presentation of the character. As he is a popular character, Thor has also been the subject of many pieces of fan art. When recreating an iconic character, fans often try to share some insight into the character through their representation. In these incredible pieces of Thor fan art, different aspects of the character’s personality are clearly captured.
Lightening Thor
This artist does a great job of capturing the pure power Thor possesses. He is shown wielding Mjolnir and lightening shoots around him. The expression on Thor’s face clearly demonstrates that he is ready to spring into action to defend against an enemy.
This fan art includes an insane amount of small detail work and shading that highlights certain elements. His hair looks particularly realistic, which can be a complicated aspect to replicate.
Realistic Pencil Sketch
The amount of detail that has gone into this pencil sketch is incredible. The artist has used several colors to make the skin look realistic and textured.
Here, Thor seems to be embracing his powers. His face shows an eagerness and acceptance as he channels his abilities and his eyes begin to glow.
Groomed Thor
Thor’s hair is one of his signature features, but in Thor: Ragnarok, his hair is cut against his will. Though Thor originally is resistant to this change, he does keep the look through Avengers: Infinity War. This sketch clearly depicts Thor during this time frame as he is well-groomed and missing his long hair.
This is yet another pencil sketch completed by the artist dario.arte. It is clear that this artist is incredibly talented and is able to create realistic drawings of characters using just pencils. In this piece of art, Thor’s eyes stand out as a focal point as they possess depth and beautiful coloring.
Love And Thunder
There are multiple types of fan art. In this image, the artist has chosen to create a mock poster for Thor: Love and Thunder. With fans excitedly awaiting the release of the movie, it’s fun to imagine with the movie may look like. With Jane confirmed to return in a big way, it makes sense that she would be heavily featured on the movie feature alongside Thor.
The artist has also chosen to represent Thor with the short hair cut seen in Ragnarok and Infinity War. When we saw Thor in Endgame, he was not well-groomed so it will be interesting to see how Thor is styled for Love and Thunder.
Adorable Thor
This depiction of Thor is very different than many of the other pieces of fan art. In this picture, Thor seems softer and lighter.
This is achieved by giving him a more rounded look. Though Thor is certainly a powerful hero, he also has a softer gentler side to him and this piece of art does a great job at capturing the adorable cuddly side of Thor.
Cartoon Thor
This artist has also depicted Thor in an original way. There is a very stylized aspect to this piece of artwork that is more cartoony. It is still clear that the picture is one of Thor as he dons his signature armor, long hair, and facial hair.
Thor has faced many challenges in the MCU. These experiences have impacted him greatly as he has had to deal with great loss and responsibility. While Endgame showed Thor struggling to deal with his strong emotions, this Thor seems to be processing his pain in a more healthy way.
Muscle Thor
This piece of fan art also works to display the strength Thor possesses. Here he is shown ready for battle, armed with a sword. His muscles are clearly defined with veins running up his arm that mimic the lightning bolts he often controls.
This image is clearly a recreation from Thor in Ragnarok as he is wielding the sword he used in the arena on Sakaar. He is also shown with short hair, which was cut shortly before entering the arena.
Hardened Thor
Thor is incredibly tough and masculine, but this piece of fan art somehow manages to make him seem more hardened than he has even been in the MCU. Thor has always had a softer lighter side to him. This separates him from popular male superheroes, such as Captain America, who often appear to be more stoic.
If Thor were more of a traditional male hero in this sense, this piece of fan art may be more similar to the way in which he would process his emotions. Here, his eyes show that he is deeply disturbed but he seems more chiseled and reserved than is typical for his character.
Thor The Warrior
This is another piece of fan art in which Thor looks more masculine. The lines and details on his face help to display a clear emotion on his face. This is another depiction of Thor crafted based on his look in Thor: Ragnarok. The warrior paint across his cheek is a nice touch and the artist has had a great job at adding depth, perception, and texture to the photo.
Black And White Thor
Depicting a popular character in black and white is incredibly complicated. Still, this artist has managed to create a beautiful piece of fan art using only a graphite pencil.
There is a lot of shading line work and the focal point of the picture is clearly Thor’s eyes. This draws in viewers and allows them to focus on the emotion in Thor’s eyes in the picture.
