Ragnarök

[pauljholden]

I'm trying to fill out my portfolio a little with some video game concept stuff. But since I'm not working on an actual video game, I thought I'd just... you know... make one up.

So, Ragnarök is a mythic Norse legends in a hard sci-fi mold. Basically I'll be scraping stuff out of wikipedia on Norse mythology and then slapping some sci-fi nonsense on top, and then drawing it. Starting with THOR.

Great stuff, PJ!

Try and work Sleipnir into this somehow, maybe - you can never have too many eight-legged horses around after all.

And Hugin and Munin - Odin's ravens (these were potential names if we ever had twin boys, but so far no luck, dammit!)


_{I live in Norway, by the way, so feel free to ask me about any stuff if I can help... (unlikely, I know but there y'go.)}

Yup, pretty much. My portfolio is very comic b&w work though.
