I’m mainly a Character Artist, and it’s been a long time since I worked on an environment project — so this one was a real challenge for me. I’ve always loved travel, paid close attention to detail, and preferred creating realistic, highly detailed art over stylized work. But with this project, I was able to step out of my comfort zone, push myself, and bring an idea to life.
“Midgard Rises” is a story about humans, the World Serpent, the Aesir, and the mortal rebellion against gods and fate. The project started from a few random reference images I found online, but by building a backstory and mood around them, I was able to transform those sparks into a complete concept.
I’m proud of how it turned out — and I hope you all enjoy it.
