"Worshippers of Odin, the Vikings, who have long since become mythological in their own right, were fearless raiders and warriors from Scandinavia. These great Vikings traveled the world in their longships, exploring, plundering, and even settling distant lands. We look back on these warriors with awe and idolize them for their fearlessness, bravery, strength, and culture."
Invited by Huntlancer art magazine in partnership with Valhalla art gallery in Munich I had the opportunity to produce a concept art of a Viking warrior worthy of eternal glory.
The initial idea was to make a Viking warrior in a Nordic winter setting so I looked for references that would convey similar ideals.
After several photos taken of the model, I was able to start producing an art.
As the basis of the project would be in digital painting I went after assets that gave me interesting textures to create a powerful viking armor.
During the development process I came up with several versions of the final artwork, but over time I developed the idea further and loaded the artwork with details that enriched the final result.
