The Alfheim prison cells were a series of rooms branching out from the main temple.

This was the first challenge that I was visually developing on the God of War (2018)

Such a blast working on the Tyr statue for God of War 2018! When Kratos and Atreus arrive at the Lake of Nine for the first time, they see half of the decrepit statue above the water line. The rest of the statue is submerged, along with all sorts of hidden mysteries.

A super fun painting of one of the points of interest in the Lake of Nine. I had a blast working on this!

You can also see multiple realm gates in this piece. Each of them featuring an emblem between their doors signifying the realm they represent.

This is the final design for the realm gates surrounding Tyr’s temple. A fun challenge was showing how heavy the doors were. I took a direct way to communicate so I added trim depicting Tyr’s soldiers struggling to get the thing open.

A big shoutout to Stephane Gaudette who brought it all to life.

Niflheim was in direct contrast to Muspelheim. The mystery and quietness was a complete opposite to the ever moving and chaotic realm of Muspelheim. This was some of the first high vis for the location and it was a blast to work on!

Niflheim was in direct contrast to Muspelheim. The mystery and quietness was a complete opposite to the ever moving and chaotic realm of Muspelheim. Relying on the rolling fog, silhouetted branches, and ominous monoliths, we were able to give the player a more eerie environment to explore.
bifrost that they were given.

The Alfheim temple entrance was a super fun and very rewarding design to work on!

Alfheim is one of the Nine Worlds and home of the Light Elves in Norse mythology. In God of War, Kratos and Atreus travel to this location in order to relight the bifrost that they were given.

A bit of a change of pace but still had a blast working on these!

Herw we have a simple design for the interior structures of the Runestone vault, in #godofwar (2018). These types of images are usually done super quickly and offer the environment art team more to go on as they build our worlds.

A big shootout to @cliffschonewill for bringing it all together. He is a spectacular craftsman!

Here’s another fun exploration for Muspelheim, a realm you visit in God of War (2018) It was so awesome driving the visuals for this area, early in production and incorporating more organic elements as well as other ideas into the design.

I had a great time doing the designs for the realm gates surrounding Tyr’s temple in God of War (2018). The gates themselves had to be an extension of the temple with the emblem between the doors being the distinguishing element that would let the player know what realm they were traveling.

New God of War art from the 2018 release! An image showing the play space underneath Freya’s house, aka Charlie. I had a blast imbuing some environmental storytelling here and adding a few call backs to the other realms the duo visit.

The bridge was a larger than life design task that I worked on earlier for God of War. It was very fun to resolve its intricacies. 😁

Better known as the Well of Urd, the Realm Travel Device is a magical well of destiny that the player can access to travel between the realms.
