Loki art (acrylic): Can you? Can you wipe out that much red?
Loki. The emotionally constipated and conflicted prince, born to be a king, but cast away by both his families. Every time I think about Loki I get this quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald in my head: "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy". Because Loki could have been a hero, he had all the makings for it, but the lie his parents had told him about his parentage was the one domino piece that made the entire picture fall apart. So he erupted into a tragedy, hellbent on trying to bring some sense to the lie he's been told his entire life, that he was born to be a king, not the son of the king of the Frostgiant's, cast away at birth.
There's just so much hurt around Loki even starting from the moment he was born (he was born under warfare for gods sake and cast out on a cliff to die, that isn't a sign of shit luck I don't know what is), and how Loki deals with that hurt is so immensely interesting and a part of what makes him such a unique character! And If you hadn't noticed by now I'm a Loki fan (no shit :p), and this painting is just something to try to show the bleeding and hurt side of Loki, and that his ledger is bursting with red.
