When I saw it, I went straight to self-immolation. The whole moths burning up in candle flames and symbolizing self-destruction and transformation thing.
Possibly a moth, being a creature of night, symbolizes Loki in his personal darkness being drawn back to the light. Only at this point, the light will kill him. He can't return without destroying himself - the self he has become. Considering how the self-immolating moth symbol tends to signal some kind of transfiguration, there is the possibility for transformation into something reborn and good, but it'll come at great cost.
Alternatively, the light might be like one of those bright lures he talks about, and could represent the promise of glory, power, and self-respect he hoped to get by conquering Midgard. In pursuing that goal, he ends up burning up everything that he was: the light is irresistable (beguiling even, ooo), but it destroys him.
Maybe, looking at the moth, he realizes that now.
I don't even know, but this is beautiful work. The lighting and colors give it a kind of unworldly, suspended quality; it's an atmosphere for significant moments. Love it.
oh my goodness that was quite the analysis.
wow thank you so much. ;O;
WELL, AFTER GETTING BACK FROM THE KNOCK DOWN THIS IMAGE GAVE ME...
I started analysing it and I agree with what other people said. And I even going to put up some things:
The moth simbolyzes transition, and like with saw in Thor and Avengers, Loki changed a lot. For me, someone that know Loki in the movie and in the comics, I see like the transition of the Loki that was moved with anger and vengeance and sadness to the Loki God o Chaos, who is motivated only by his joy and pleasure, a 'dead Loki', with no more soul, no more hope. The Loki in the picture is the one who was indeed Thor's brother, but will never come back. It's the one who regrets the things he did and the path he took.
omg sdklfjwerkljasf bravO YOU DID A GOOD JOB /APPLAUDING sdkflj
Thank you so much! ;O;
1. It symbolizes that there is some good in Loki, because moth's are attracted to light(Good).
2. The moth symbolizes Loki himself, where Thor is the butterfly that everyone loves and he is the forgotten one who 'lives in his shadow'.
That's what I thought when I saw this, haha.
I'm so off, but eh, I enjoyed this picture anyway
Do you mind if I set it as my wallpaper on my phone?
How do you manage to get so much contrast and still get a proper blending? :S I can never seem to get it right
And yeah it takes a lot of work to get dramatic contrast to look right. You just have to be patient with it is all. ;o;
I imagine that he was sentenced to death in Asgard and, in the face of death, he finally realized what he had done.
So he died with tears in his eyes.
The moth is, as far as i know, a symbol for transience - for the time that flows unstoppable through our hands.
So in the magical land of Asgard, there comes this little moth to his death bed and sits down on his nose, to finally show that even the gods are not unfading.
That even the most tortured and most haunted of their souls comes finally to a rest.
Very, very sad and beautiful picture.
