Odin Costume & The Casket of Ancient Winters Designs From THOR (2011)
Hit the jump to Thor concept art that was created by conceptual illustrators Benton Jew ("The Hulk") and Daphne Yap ("Oz the Great and Powerful"). Benton created costume illustrations for Odin and Daphne helped design The Casket of Ancient Winters.
"These were pieces made for the first Thor movie for costume designer Alexandra Byrne. I didn't do much on the show as I was only on it for a week or two. The two pieces represent Odin in ceremonial gear as well as more casual clothing. I wanted to make the ceremonial gear very 'Kirby-like' in it's feel. Everything ridiculously wide and vast. All elements point to Odin's face. I also wanted to relate him to the traditional Thor elements (like the disks on his tunic) to tie him to his son. I did the piece in photoshop combining pieces that were digitally hand painted, some photographic elements, and elements from previous versions done by other artists." - Benton Jew
