Font Design 423: Loki Film Title

Here's the latest update: 

Since I first started to draw, drawing fonts have been almost as fun for me as doing so for characters.

After all, who wouldn't get some satisfaction out of replicating the font of your favorite show.... just to one's liking?

But I hoped- wanted- to get better at making them.

Years ago I had the pleasure of taking a Typography class at a local community college.

This awesome professor showed us how to create typefaces. 

She also showed us how to take a lot of the guesswork out of creating our own fonts.

So here is Loki, a rather complex character.

For Loki's font, I needed to create not only a Gothic look, but a serpent-like, crafty, flowing, with avant-garde strokes that shout "I'm a force that you do not dare under-estimate."

So I went back into R&D- using my trusty "Incredible Hulk"pencil- to craft a metallic font organically ... one reflecting such a soul- wounded-torn, battle-worn, love-lorn, forlorn, shorn over thousands of years...

... and yet after weathering all these, retaining the glamour of his majesty. Such is my perception of the Prince of Mischief.

Out came this.
