Hela Coming into Her Own

Description

An older version of the Norse Death Goddess inspired by a photomanipulation I made of her as a child:


She does resemble Marvel's Hela (it's the antlers). Although I keep hearing Eva Green's name in fan-casting proposals for Hela, I can't help feeling that the character needs someone who could bring a certain softness to her. Therefore I lean towards Saoirse Ronan (again). Thor and Loki are being portrayed by young actors in the Marvel movieverse so it makes sense to have someone even younger as Hela (regardless of whether or not she would be Hiddleston's daughter or simply a co-conspirator). In Hanna and now The Host trailer she has proven herself capable of projecting great vulnerability and danger. She's like a cornered wild animal at times, which makes her quite volatile. This along with her haunting beauty makes her perfect for the role in my mind. In the comics Hela seems in control but I get the feeling that she is treading along the edge of order and chaos. No one has to agree, this is just my imagination running wild.

Photomanipulations are a bit like montage only less sticky since Photoshop requires no glue. There must be at least 20 different source photos used here, none of which are mine. I am not going to list all of them as it is hard to track them down and they are all heavily edited anyway. None of the elements come from Deviantart and this is not for commercial gain so hopefully I am covered. If not, I will just have to do a digital painting of this.
