Timelapse of a man creating a realistic Loki bust


I'm not questioning the artistic excellence of Venus de Milo—the Greek marble sculpture is indeed a masterpiece. It just doesn't speak to me the same way a detailed sculpt of Loki does, so if I had my way I'd put Thor's adopted brother at the Louvre instead.

In this time-lapse video, Steven Richter shows the process of creating a half-sized bust of Loki from scratch, molding clay into the handsome face of Tom Hiddleston before turning that depiction into the god of mischief, complete with his iconic head piece.
