So, for those of you who read my previous post Digital Thor; After Days of Work, you know that I've been working on a digital piece of Thor.
   Well, I've finished it!!
    It took hours, and it was tough at times, but the finished product was worth it! I finishd Thor's helmet, and added some texture to his skin.
   The photo below is both pictures, the before textured face, and the one overtop; the finished face. You can see the texture difference. And yes, I understand the picture is kind of trippy =)
   I made a few different backgrounds, for those of you who'd like one for their computer. The only thing is please don't send the backgrounds to anyone. Please send the person a link to this post so they can get a copy for themselves. Thanks. Just rightclick on the photo and click on "New Tab".
   And all of these are done completely in Photoshop, with digital paint. Not photo manipulation.
 
   Why you haven't seen many drawings being posted on my drawings blog nearly as much as usual is because I have been working on a digital picture of Thor. This is what I did in 4 hours in Photoshop. The stuff that I did was the picture of Thor's face that is overtop of the other picture. Essentially, the less detailed picture is mine.
   And the picture below is what I've done so far. I've finished Thor's face, hair, cape, and armor. The only thing I have to finish is the winged helmet, which is in the rough draft. Or feathered helmet, depending on if you think of it like Loki or not ;)
 
   First of all, I'm so sorry that I haven't been around this past week. Things have gotten crazy, and not because of Christmas! In the past week, I taught 3 different photoshop classes, shopped (mostly for food), had a chiropratic appointment, carol singing, went and saw The Hobbit (YES! A post coming up on my thoughs on it, but I will tell you to GO AND SEE IT), did some banking, sent off some paintings that I sold, baked, worked on a digital painting of Thor, put some time into making the most epic music video to date, and went Christmas tree hunting.
   So, as you can see, I have had NO time for drawing (with graphite pencil), painting, or even blogging. Hopefully I'll be able to post more before Christmas, though seeing as it is only 5 days away, it may be hard for me to do. I'll try, but don't worry if you don't see me. My extended family lives in town, so Christmas is always one of the busiest times of the year.

   Oh, but I do have some exciting news. My aunts' husbands' brother (so that is my uncles' brother) came to know Jesus!! YAY!!! Why is that so exciting?? Well, any person who comes to the Lord and accepts Him into their heart deserves a party (all of heaven breaks out in celebration for each salvation), but it's because both my aunt and uncle aren't saved. Long story short, my uncles' brother was a huge alcoholic and drug addict, and he caused Uncle and his mom tons of trouble.
   Now that he's stayed sober for a full year now, and has given up drugs, has pushed my Aunt and Uncle a little more towards God with his conversion. Now, if I can ask you, can you pray for my aunt and uncle this Christmas season?? I would love for nothing more than to see them accept Jesus as their savior, because I know they're missing something, and they know it too, they just don't believe in God. So on that note, I will post this.

   For those of you who know you'll have trouble telling what the differences are between the dwarves, here is a "cheet sheet" to help you remember. Thought you might like to study up before tomorrow's release.

   Now, since you probably can't read the text (I have no way of fixing it) here is what it says.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians of the mobs say.
Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.

This nation was founded on one principle above all else. The requirement that we stand
up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, you job is to plant
yourself like a tree beside the river of truth. And tell the whole world... No. Your move.

   I just thought this would be a little inspiration for you. Go Captn'!!


 
   Ok, so I finally watched The Avengers 2 weeks ago, and I'm in love with the marvel movies! But I'm not here to talk about the movies (that'll come in another post), here are some hilarious, interesting, and adorable photos that I've found. Trust me, some of them will have you on the floor laughing out loud.
