Norse Lightning, Personal Vis Dev Project

'In the snow-covered world of the 23rd human century Norway, the gods, monsters, and their machines rule. It falls upon the unlikely duo of a mortal investigator and a disgraced goddess to discover what befell the missing God of Thunder.' - Heimdal, 2224

Special thanks to Micol Ganzerli for the awesome work on the title for the poster.
This my biggest personal project to date. I aimed to develop a coherent art direction for a world based on a narrative concept. The project is rather animation-focused than game-focused, but I believe the work here could be utilized to develop a game world as well. This post presents four main components - cinematic keyframes, characters, creatures, and environments. I've covered everything from finished illustrations to sketches, production-ready model sheets, and some of my references/ inspirations.
