Mega Thor

[DrippingDraupnir]

The Iast coupIe of years I have been working on a project containing 10 mannequin doIIs. I dress and equip them to resembIe four deitys from norse mythoIogy. The catch is that I do so with the technoIogy of our time. Thors hammer MjoInir is a demolition-hammer in my project for instance. The idea stems from the theory that ancient texts on mythoIogy are interpretations of a highIy advanced extinct/aIien/atIantean race that once Iived on or visited earth. The purpose of this enquiry is to invoIve peopIe who has a greater knowIedge of technoIogy, than I do. I have no education besides primary school.

 

Thors hair and beard - red as the planet Jupiter

Thor, the body of Jupiter. Protecting our planet Midgaard from the constant threat of Frost Giant meteorites. The canyons and valleys known as Thors footprints are from the meteorites he has let slip through.

Mjølner

I've used a demolition hammer mounted on his forearm as Thors hammer Mjolnir. I imagine the chisel to be a neutronium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutronium projectil, that once fired will return via the gravity techology in his belt. Thor can reduce its size to fit in his pocket, as gravity depends on mass and not size. Maybe I should make a (smaller)holster for it? I got the idea for this design(and the name of this post) from the transformer Megatron http://images4.fanpo...263391_full.jpg

Iarngriper

Thors irongloves are necessary for him to swing and receive Mjolnir. The gloves used here are from paintball. In order to make them an integral part of the weapon, I will paint part of the plastic covers in similar colors to the demolition hammer. This gave me some inspiration: http://www.webpronew...m-space-2012-03

Megingjord

The rings around the planet of Jupiter. This belt increases his strength the more he tightens it. The belt I use is an actual strengthbelt for weightlifting. I've turned it around so the heightened back-support faces forward.

The strongest of the Aesir

I have implemented an endo-skeleton in his body as a source of his extraordinare strength.

Mega Thor

The shadow behind him is Thor as the myths describes him. I have such shadows for all of the mannequins and their familiars. He wears waders to wade through the rivers Körmt og Örmt. Should the rest of the Aesir need him, he can teleport himself to their location.

Tanngrisner & Tanngnjost

Teethbarer and Teethgrinder are Thors two goats. They can be slaughtered, eaten and resurrected the following day, as long as no bones are broken. Should this happen the bone will be broken when the goat is brought back to life. When pulling his chariot their cloven hoffs and teeths sparks sprouts and Thors fiery glance reddens the sky. I have two of them, as the rest of the project none of them are finished.

Use a electromagnetic hammer?

Use a electromagnetic hammer?

I just did a google image search and from what I can see, electromagnetic hammers aren't portable. Please link if you know of such a thing. Before the demolition hammer I had a nail gun actually. Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll stick with the demolition hammer for now. I like the shape and size of the thing -looks very much like a weapon I think. Electromagnetic hammer does sound very very appropriate though

The goats should probably not look too human like if they are supposed to be slaughtered and eaten, unless of course if you want Thor to be an evil cannibalistic monster with a taste for human flesh.

well the the humanoids are a running theme in this project and in this case they also overlaps with greek mythology as the satyre god Pan. Here is another example of divine humanoids. This is the god of love and fertility Freya, she has two cats who guards her house and pulls her chariot.

how about machines? something portable that can be pull apart (slaughtered) and then reconstructed (ressurrected). If any of the parts or mechanisms (bones) are broken, then the machine cannot be rebuilt in the original form. I got the idea from the Shiva sisters in Final Fantasy.

thats actually a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll add some metallic joints protruding from thetir hocks, as a subtle reveal of their cybernetic innards. Something similar to this somewhat broken armpit

Why's there a pig mooching about?

 

You can build your electromagnetic hammer if you wanted, though im not sure how efficient it would be.

 

Also im interesting in your motivation towards the project? you've done a great job with it, do you follow norse mythology? i enjoyed reading about ragnarok though ive not ventured much further.

from Hyndluljóð

 

Freyja spake:

7. "Wild dreams, methinks, | are thine when thou sayest

My lover is with me | on the way of the slain;

There shines the boar | with bristles of gold,

Hildisvini, | he who was made

By Dain and Nabbi, | the cunning dwarfs.

 

here's the rest in case you are interested: http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe15.htm

 

The pigs name is Hildisvini and is really her lover Ottar, shapeshifted into a boar or wearing an aimal slough. I chose a modern day bacon pig, instead of a more authentic "wild-life" boar in order to keep Freya in line with the modern vision of this project. I'm currenty working on those golden bristles:

The bristles are from an outdoor broom and have been spraypainted gold;

I chose this material because Hildisvinis counterpoint familiars danish name is Gyldenbørste which translates to Golden brush. So I wanted the mane to look like an actual golden brush.

i was just wondering... is your work on display in an art gallery or anything?

A black cat loves glass.No Peter but Pan.

 

 

What does her house look like?

The Female dresses also need to be more detailed...

the cats claws are made from acrylic body-piercing extenders. I'm very proud of them She comes from Folkvang and her hall is Sessrymnír which means seat. It is a nice roomy place with many seats. It is here she receives half of the fallen, the other half goes to Odin in Valhalla. I have experimented with the idea of sowing red roses around her bossom and down to her crutch to form a heart. I do like her the way she is now though.
