Thor

It occurred to me that Odin Sphere and Thor are both based on Norse mythology, and I started to imagine what Thor would look like in the Odin Sphere game.


I love the character designs in all of Vanillaware's games, because of the push and pull they do with body proportions. They do this thing with a lot of the "heavy" fighters in Odin Sphere where the characters are wide and bulky on the top, but with tiny hips and legs. It's a really cool aesthetic.


There's Odin's design from the game on the left. On the right is Thor the Mighty Avenger, which I based my Thor's design on. It's an awesome miniseries illustrated by Chris Samnee... forever the Thor of my heart!
