Thor has arrived

Dobar Vam ovaj oblačni, uglavnom kišoviti dan drage moje :)

I wish a good day to all of you my dear ones, though it's cloudy and rainy most of the time.

Obećavala sam ga, pa odgađala, a onda opet obećavala ... Pa napokon nakon toliko nabrajanja i obećanja bio je red da se napokon i ukaže. U današnjem postu, napokon ćete imati priliku vidjeti kako je mene Thor inspirirao što se tiče šminkanja.

I promised, then postponed it, then promised again ... So after all this talk and promises, it was about time for him to finally appear. In todays post, you will finally get the opportunity to see how Thor inspired me make-up wise.

Nakon Iron Mana, moram priznati da mi je Thor najdraži muški junak Avengers družine. I što se mene tiče audicije nisu bile ni potrebne, jer Chris Hemsworth kao da je ustao iz Marvelovih stripova... Sličnost je nevjerojatna. Iako vjerujem da Vas ovaj dio posta većinu najmanje zanima, ipak moram posvetiti barem par uvodnih riječi o ovom polubožanskom biću :D

After Iron Man, I must admit that Thor is my favourite Avengers hero. And in my opinion, those auditions were not even necessary, because Chris Hemsworth is almost as Thor himself came to life and human form from the Marvel comics. The resemblance is remarkable. Though I believe that this is that part of my post, that probably doesn't interest most of you, still I have to share at least a few introduction lines about this demigod :D

Thor je izmišljeni junak , utemeljen na istoimenom božanstvu nordijske mitologije. Prvi put se pojavio u stripu ''Journey into Mistery'' 1966. godine. Thor je ratnik kojega je njegov otac Odin lišio božanskih moći i poslao na zemlju, a sve to kako bi se naučio poniznosti i poštovanju smrtnika. ( stroge roditeljske metode, nema što :) ) Kako bi cijeli proces bio potpun, uz to mu je izbrisao i pamćenje. Međutim, kako to u svijetu junaka obično biva, njegov čekić je pronašao put do njega, vratio mu pamćenje i pretvorio ga u super-junaka kojeg danas vole žene diljem svijeta :D

Thor is a fictional character, based on the god Thor from the Norse mythology. The character first appeared in the comic '' Journey into Mistery '' in 1966. Thor is a warrior, who was sent to Earth without his memories of godhood, by his father Odin, in attempt to teach him humility and respect towards mortals. ( Some strict parenting methods, I'll say :) ) But how it usually turns up in the world oh superheroes, his hammer found his way back to his rightful owner and turned him back to the superhero loved by women all over the world. :D

Pri kreiranju ovog looka, uglavnom sam se vodila filmskom verzijom Thora i mnogim promo fotkama. Kad sam ''skenirala'' gospodina od glave do pete, odlučila sam se za 4 osnovne boje : srebrnu, antracit sivu, crvenu i metalik plavu. Zašto, pitate se ? Zapravo je poprilično jednostavno, sive nijanse prevladavaju na njegovom ratničkom odijelu, plašt je bogate crvene boje, a čekić je mostly srebrnkasto plav, pogotovo kad se iz njega ''puca'' :D

While making this look, I was mostly inspired & driven with the movie version of Thor ( and many stills and promo shots). Once I ''scanned'' this gentleman from head to toe, I've decided to go with 4 basic colours ; silver, anthracite grey, red and mettalic blue. Why, you might wonder ? Actually, it's pretty simple, the grey tones are the dominant ones on his warrior ''suit of armor'', his cape is in this rich, red tone, and the mighty hammer is mostly silverish blue, especially once it's used to shoot thunder & lightnings :D

Prvo, osnovna slika korištena kao inspiracija :)

First, the picture that was used for inspiration :)

Srebrno sjenila nanijela sam s unutarnje strane kapka i postupno ga izblendala prema ostatku oka. Potom sam se ponovno odlučila za svoju veliku, no name, ebay paletu sjenila i u njoj našla divan broj tamnijih nijansi sive. Koristeći antracit sivu i crnu nijansu sjenila napravila sam smokey dio na vanjskom dijelu oka. (moram napomenuti kako sam se ovom prilikom koristila malim trikom selotejpa, kako bi mi završna linija bila precizna i kako bi bilo što malo trušenja :D ) Zatim je trebalo nekako ukomponirati plašt... U tu svrhu sam kao bazu koristila svoj Illamasqua - Encounter i napravila obrub iznad tamnijeg dijela sjenila, a potom sve još omekšala sa crvenkastim tonovima iz ranije spomenute velike palete. I taman kad sam mislila kako je sve super krenulo, nikako se nisam mogla odlučiti kako ukomponirati njegov čuveni čekić. P.s. sad mi je jasno zašto je toliko nervirao Tonya Starka u prvom nastavku Avengera xD S obzirom da zadnjih dana rijetko izlazim bez svog Tatto Maybellinca u prekrasnoj, bogatoj tirkiznoj nijansi ... On je bio logičan odabir. Povukla sam liniju do polovice oka, od unutrašnjosti i to je trebalo biti to... Onda sam pomislila kako je taj vražji čekić bitan Thoru pa sam ga ipak na kraju balade nacrtala u vanjskom kutu oka. Popunila sam ga srebrnim sjenilo, obrubila Maybelline Tattoo gel sjenilom i malo ukrasila essence ljubičastom olovkom iz Oz kolekcije :)

I put the silver eyeshadow on the inner side of my eye, and blended it out on the rest of my eyelid. Then I decided to use once again my big, no name, ebay palette and inside it, I've found a spectacular number of lovely grey shades. Using anthracite grey & black seyshadow I made a version of a smokey eye on the outer corner. ( I must inform you that while making this I used a little sticky tape to help me out, so my finishing line would be precise and so the eyeshadow could stay in place :D ) Then I needed to incorporate his cape somehow. For that purpose, I used my Illamasqua - Encounter for base, and then filled it and softened it all with some redish tones from the earlier mentioned big eyeshadow palette. And just as I though, I figured everything out just as I wanted, I couldn't get ''the lightbulb'' to swith ON, and tell me how to finish it all adding his hammer element. P.s. Now I realise why this hammer annoyed so much Tony Stark in the Avengers xD Since these days I don't seem to go anywhere without my Maybelline Tattoo 24 eyeshadow in turquoise, it seemed like a logical choice. I made a line going form the inner corner of my eye to approximately half way of my eyelid. And that was supposed to be it ... but then I thought how important that damn hammer is to Thor so at the end of the story I drawed him in the outer corner of my eye. Filled it in with some silver eyeshadow, made the conture lines with Maybelline Tattoo, and then just played with my purple essence eyepencil from the Oz collection :)

I na kraju svega ... dobila sam ovo :)

And in the end ... I got something like this :)

Toliko od mene za danas :) Kako Vam se sviđa ? Moram li se bojati gromova i munja ? :D Pišite mi <3

So much from me, for today :) How do you like it ? Do I have to fear from thunder and lightnings ? :D Write me your thoughts <3
