I felt like mythological accuracy was missing from the media I consumed so i decided to take it into my own hands and made it both culturally, historically, and mythically accurate! (Or at least I tried to.)

For a little bit of context for the picture:
Thor was poring himself a drink at home in Bilskirnir, and Sif came barging in after a long day of milling grain, bragging about how big her arms have gotten.

Thor isn’t wearing his gloves because he’s at home btw, he doesn’t have any use for them right then and there.

I drew Thor!

I tried my best making him as mythologically and historically accurate as possible, and he doesn’t have his gloves because he’s working.

I might draw him on his fishing trip, which means he’ll be completely decked out with his gloves and everything.

Ok so in their insult battle, Harbard states to Thor; "Odin has the earls who fall in battle, but Thor has the race of thralls." Or something along those lines.

We know that Odin has Valhall, where he keeps these warriors, a hall with 540 rooms.
Thor’s hall, Bilskirnir also has 540 rooms, located in Thrudvang.
Freyja has Folkvang.

So you have the same amount of rooms, and similar names.

And if you look at other Norse afterlives, they all have some denominator
Death in battle = Valhall/Folkvang
Drown at sea = Ran‘s net
Die of sickness or age = Hel
Women who die unmarried = Gefjon

So maybe Thor has a domain for those who die in work maybe? Like someone trampled by cattle??

I just felt like drawing Thor and I want to talk about it. Feel free to ask questions about my choices.

The coloring is kinda crappy, i couldn’t be bothered to put ALL too much effort into it but i’m happy with it.
