Concept for Thor look for Thor : Love and Thunder directed by Taika Waititi for #marvelstudios. This armor is referring to different things : Captain America scale torso armor as seen in Avengers : Endgame and also a specific look from the comic books : the Thor shiny armor from the run by Walt Simonson. With a blue scales torso and a gold armor. I was looking for the balance between a new and refreshing look as well as keeping a link to what we’ve seen in the comic-books. And because also Steve Rogers is one of the few (with Jane?) humans to be worthy and being able to handle Mjolnir I’ve kept the structure of Cap armor on the torso (I’ve hidden the star because it would have been too obvious). And for the Helmet, I was referencing Odin’s one. Like the place of the father is now empty and now Thor is at a new step in his life…maybe a father one? Odinson! I’ve already shared a concept close to this one. Here the armor is lighter with the golden armored arm. ———- #thor#chrishemsworth#marvelstudios#mcu#thorloveandthunder#marvel #conceptart#mjolnir#avengers#avengersendgame#armor#steverogers#janefoster#captainamerica#odin#odinson#stormbreaker#charadesign#marvelcomics#marvelcinematicuniverse#characterdesign
Character design for Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder. Keeping Chris Hemsworth likeness and working on a « casual » outfit. Not the big epic and colorful armor in this case. Something with some zen vibes. I was working from the armor he was wearing in Avengers : Endgame, getting from black to white (following the character evolution in the story, it’s another new step in his path) and I was also referring the scales on the torso of Captain America.
Concept art for Thor played by @chrishemsworth in #thorloveandthunder . A more casual outfit, offering a different mood than his colorful and shiny battle armor. Like some short kimono. Interesting also to work on all those interlaced patterns.
A really early exploration for Gorr for #thorloveandthunder movie. This one was rough but the intent was to work on different possible emotional states of the character. There is a « rule » in storytelling : in order to create a strong involvement of the audience and a sense of believability you need to give your character a wide spectrum of emotions and some failures to help understanding who he is and how he behaves. Why is he acting this way? You need to create empathy-different from sympathy- with him. He or she could be a total asshole but you can understand (mostly through suffering most of the time) why he/she’s acting this way. On a personal level I find it really interesting to think the same way in order to evolve. Good writing involves a lot of psychology. In this case I find inspiration in the real world with the goblin shark (last slides) which is probably the main inspiration for Alien. The God’s butcher was once a good guy (you got it in the movie) but for some reason he became frenzy and crazy…
A concept art for Thor : Love and Thunder. Under @andyparkart lead. On this one I was dealing with two interlaced ideas : referencing the comic-book look from the Walt Simonson run, with this huge scales on the torso and also referencing Cap, ( or “worthy Cap”) using those scales on the armor to create the link. The mighty @ryan_meinerding_art did a terrific job on Cap during all those years and in Endgame he succeed managing some big scales on the chest (like in the Ultimates comics) by making them appear like they were there before but hidden under the external fabric structure (if my notes aren’t clear >>> swipe to the last image of this post!!) And I used those scales and some patterns from Cap’s suit as an homage. Like Thor paying a tribute to Captain America. And for the whole look there was also this “over the top-metal vibe” too.

Another concept for Thor look for Thor : Love and Thunder directed by @taikawaititi for #marvelstudios. This armor is referring to different things : Captain America scale torso armor as seen in Avengers : Endgame. This armor is brilliantly referring to a specific look from the comic books. Also to the Thor shiny armor from the comic-books run by Walt Simonson. With a blue scales torso and a gold armor. It seems cool to use this one to develop a new and refreshing look in the movies as well as keeping a link to what we’ve seen in the comic-books. And because also Steve Rogers is one of the few (with Jane?) humans to be worthy and being able to handle Mjolnir I’ve kept the structure of Cap armor on the torso (I’ve hidden the star because it would have been too obvious).

Finally! I can share some of the concept arts I did for Thor : Love and Thunder, directed by @taikawaititi. I was working also closely with the mighty lead supervisor @andyparkart. So this one is about the Gods butcher : Gorr! It’s a precast version. @christianbale_ hadn’t yet confirmed at this time but knowing an actor of this caliber could join we carefully did some versions in our concept when you could still see some real features of the face of the actor. On this one I was dealing with this idea and of course a mix with the look from the comic-books established by @ribicesad (if I’m right). I get rid of the short nostrils (too much Voldemor like) but was still playing with the long tentacles on the rear of the head. Really clear skin and graphic natural patterns that evolved in some kind of ritual marks in the movie. Some marks of faith in the gods that Gorr painfully removed…but you should see the movie for more! Oh and I had also to think about the necrosword. Here it’s a shy attempt to link it to Hela dark powers and visual vocabulary. I really like the final look in the movie and Bale’s performance! Do you know he and Taiks were referring to the « Comf to daddy » video by Chris Cunningham as a strong inspiration ?

Another early concer art for Gorr played by #christianbale in Thor : Love and Thunder, a movie directed by #taikawaititi. (And those concept under @andyparkart lead). This one was made not long after Bale was casted for the role. So I was aiming for a blend between the comics features (here the tentacles at the rear of the head) and the actor likeness (the face). Most of the tries we did making the nostrils close to the comics character ended too often with the same comment : “It’s Voldemort!”. And same thing for the really tiny panties from the comics : we’ve chosen to get rid of it as the result was weird or disturbing…Here I’ve kept an overall white value on the body and to avoid a simple naked guy I’ve added a torso armor like some Greek ones, mimicking the anatomy with muscles. Still with light values. Then the black parts were refering to the black shapes and pattern surrounding the character in the comics. I’ve found Christian Bald performance really impressive! What do you think of it?

Another concept art for Gorr played by #christianbale in Thor : Love and Thunder, directed by Taika Waititi. This one was made after Bale was casted in the movie so I’ve worked on a mix between his face and some features from the comics (the tentacles on the head…). Adding a pale torso armor mimicking human anatomy was a good way to get rid of the naked style from the comics while keeping a likeness. (I’ve used some black patterns here on the pelvis to slightly refer to the gString from the comic-books : hard to keep this look and making it interesting in a live action movie in 2022). I was also playing with a huge and organic cloak that could morph into shadow and absorb things. In the comics Gorr, his necrosword and his powers are linked to Knull, the god of the symbiotes like Venom. So one of my topic was also to think about it (hope I’ll be able to share more in the future!)

Concept art for Valkyrie played by Tessa Thompson in Thor : Love and Thunder directed by #taikawaititi for #marvelstudios. I’ve obviously based my version on previous Valkyrie look in #thorragnarok to keep a consistency and a characterization evolution : the previous outfit was mostly dark, this one is much brighter and light (She’s now the King of New Asgard, wisdom and enlightenment…no more booze…) Once again under @andyparkart direction who help me fix the posing.

Another variation for Valkyrie played by @tessamaethompson in Thor : Love and Thunder (directed by #taikawaititi). I was mainly playing with her look from the previous movie (#thorragnarok) as a basis and mainly making her « brighter ». She seems to be previously dealing with a lot of inner issues and trauma and now as she’s the « king » of new Asgard it appears that she had reach a new step of balance and well being. As Thor’s or Odin’s cloaks are red, I’ve focused on blue like it could be the color of the Valkyrie caste.
Pour rester dans les chèvres, un concept art de Jackson Sze :

Goat Boat Keyframe! My first of only a handful of images done for #thorloveandthunder in early pre-production.
This was so much fun!
Really count myself lucky to have worked on a @taikawaititi show, where I get to play in a wide sandbox and not worry about taking things too far.
Shout out to @andyparkart for leading the Vis Dev Team on this show. Since I painted this in early pre-production, the designs are not final. @janaschirmer designed the hilarious screaming goats in the film, and @silly_choochoo designed the actual boat.
It has been a whirlwind of projects at #marvelstudios Thankful to be able to contribute in any way to our many fun projects. However short or small my contributions were.
Et un autre de ses concepts pour Gorr :
Jackson Sze a écrit:
Another early take on #gorrthegodbutcher for #thorloveandthunder This one is bulkier and more armored up. I was thinking that the #necrosword power would imbue Gorr with a set of Necro-Armor as well.
As a big fan of 80s Adventure cartoons, I had a lot of fun making a more physical version of the Necrosword from the comics.
Early in preproduction our team cast a wide net of possible designs going from very faithful to the comics to more takes that are less referential. It is all part of the design process. These early takes are done before an actor is cast. Many factors come into play throughout the film making process. I thought Gorr was fantastic in the movie.

Recently got permission to share some new work I was able to do for #spidermannowayhome and I will start off by showing… really old work! I worked on The Lizard way back in #theamazingspiderman and was able to revisit him for the new film. I will be able to show some of the explorations we did with the character but I thought it made sense to start here! While at legacy I was able to have Stan Lee sign a copy of this for me, one of the few images of my own I have displayed! #mcu#marvel#spiderman#thelizard#comicbookmovies

Early round of exploration for #thelizard for #spidermannowayhome was to see him in his lab coat (and purple pants!) plus showing that he has grown more beastly and developed some mass and a snout. Such an honor to be a part of this project. Really fun to think about how he may look as the Lizard took more hold of him but wouldn’t work for the story. #mcu#spiderman#marvel#creaturedesign
Ian Joyner a écrit:
Another exploration on #thelizard for #spidermannowayhome what an amazing (spectacular!) show too be a small part of. As always super grateful to @marvelstudios and @ryan_meinerding_art for letting me be involved with these films. A real treat to get to revisit the character I worked on back in 2012(which is a shockingly long time ago) and such a great thing to see all those iconic villains again! #mcu#marvelstudios#spiderman#conceptdesign
