Art of God of War Ragnarok, The: Ragnarök

Product Information

When we first meet Freya again, she is living on Midgard in the heights of Fimbulwinter. Did the harsh climate influence any aspects of her design?

They have put together a wealth of resources for cosplayers to reference alongside the official cosplay guides, not to mention they’ll be releasing videos documenting key parts of their creation process on their own channels. Interview with Art Director Raf Grassetti The influence of his father is shown in the red waist cloth piece, the aggressive red arrows, and the red in his bow – you will be able to see how that influence impacts his future upgrades in God of War Ragnarök. Ibelinn has put together an expert guide on how to plan a cosplay, along with her how-to videos on creating the former Valkyrie Queen – you can see them here. Angrboda – Kizuki Cosplay For example, Atreus’ new look features a huge splash of yellow to honor his Giant heritage and connection to his mother. Angrboda, while being a Giant and living in Jötunheim, has clothing that features mostly shades of browns, teals, and grays. While her primary clothing pieces don’t have the same statement yellow piece that Atreus’ does, we still wanted to include smaller touches of the color to show her ties to the Giants and to Atreus. The Falcon, Bear, and Wolf Pin Set – Representing Faye, Kratos, and Atreus respectively, this pin set symbolizes our heroes’ family.Every artist involved in this Art Blast has been able to make their mark with their incredible art. We strive to push the artistic boundaries while always continuing to grow on a journey of craftsmanship, creativity, and close collaborations. Thank you for taking this journey with us! Mjölnir is not only an iconic weapon in modern pop culture, but also within the story of our game needs to be a worthy rival to the Leviathan Axe, which is now one of the most iconic God of War weapons. Could you take us through how the team created the Huldra Brothers’ (second) greatest creation?

Atreus is a product of his environment and the people around him. A very interesting detail that most people won’t notice is the hint of Kratos’ tattoos coming through his armor design. Unlike some of the more fantastic characters and creatures of the game, we took a more subtle approach to the details in Angrboda’s design. With each of the different mythical cultures in the game, the team will look for specific aspects unique to each that set them apart visually. Angroboda’s tattoos were an example of this in that they have a much more organic and natural feel to them than many of the other tattoos you see on other characters. We wanted all aspects of her design, including her tattoos, to reflect a unique aesthetic that is carried through their art and craftsmanship. It’s important to note that the work showcased in the Art Blast is not the full extent of the contributions made by the artists involved. Many artists who contributed early on or chose not to be part of the Art Blast have played an integral role in the creation of this game. We cannot express enough gratitude for every artist who has devoted time and energy to this project. AI has made an impact on the industry and this game is a testament to the talent and creativity of the artists, their passion and dedication have played a vital role in making this game a reality. This has been a monumental undertaking, and we are overjoyed with the positive response it has received from fans. Atreus is always so much fun to work on, being able to collaborate with the writers and see the character grow gives us much to play with as artists and reflect those choices in his look.It’s always interesting seeing what catches fire across the internet. With a character like Thor that has so many great depictions in pop-culture, people grow a special connection to them. So, in that way it’s understandable a discussion is prompted when a new take on that type of character comes out. We knew we needed to keep the pieces that symbolize his parents, specifically Atreus’ yellow scarf representing Faye and his red skirt piece from Kratos’ Greek outfit.

Hot on the heels of Character Art and Concept Art we now bring you the lush world of God of War Ragnarok. Environment, VFX, Lighting, and UI artists have poured countless hours into every detail of Norse mythology. The efforts of Santa Monica Studio and its co-developers have come together to bring fans a living, breathing world full of beauty and danger around every corner. As we’ve previously discussed, various factors have contributed to the next generation of gaming getting off to a historically slow start. Such times remind us that Triple-A games have the unique ability to demonstrate both the technical wonders of the medium as well as gaming’s artistic potential in ways that even the best smaller titles can’t replicate. Well, Ragnarok is that rare kind of modern Triple-A game that both makes you happy that you invested in that new TV and that more powerful console and allows you to appreciate the evolution of gaming as an art form. The Legendary Draupnir Ring – A ring from Norse Mythology, the Legendary Draupnir Ring comes in a red cloth bag. Some fans will notice elements from Baldur’s costume throughout her designs, such as the Twilight Pendant and the orange warps he wore around his legs that she now wears. These are mementos she carries with her to always remember her son. Thor Kratos has been through a lot and his design always reflects that. He cares about function more than visuals, so a lot of the decisions made on his design serve a practical purpose. Several pieces are there based on their utility in battle, for example, the pauldron with metal pieces protects his dominant arm and the bracers can be used to shield him if necessary.
