Thor almost had Balder!! We were so close. Balder, Thor’s half brother, was in the script at one point, and had a pretty crucial role. I painted this preliminary keyframe of him before finding out that he would be taken out of the film. Balder does add another layer of complexity to Thor’s relationships with Loki, and it was probably a good idea to have him taken out of the first film, but if there was more time to weave out a longer story arc, and Thor had an HBO or Netflix saga, Balder would be a must! * * * * * #thor #funfact #mcu #behindthescene #conceptart

Final design for Fandral seen in Thor! The decisions I made for him are to portray the character as Asgard’s flamboyant swashbuckler. He’s the only character in Thor that I designed with an outer layer that can be easily put on— I saw him as the only one of the Warriors that would make a moment of putting on that last layer— style is important to him! Fun fact— Josh Dallas, who played Fandral in the first Thor film, went to New Albany High School...that’s my high school! We’re both from a small town in southern Indiana called New Albany. First time I met someone in the industry from Indiana, let alone from my high school. Crazy coincidence. When I found out, I had to let Josh know as well! He eventually got a lead role in a show called Prince Charming and didnt reprise his role for Thor: the Dark World. * * * * #thor #fandral #marvelstudios #mcu #flamboyant #robinhood @joshdallas @imcharliewen

Voted 98% to post!! So here they are - initial exploratory rough concepts of Volstagg & Hogun The focus was to get some tone, which is key in designing rather than the specific design elements. * * * * * #roughsketch #conceptart #thor #mcu #volstagg #hogun

Official Sif design from Thor! Starting with the motif from Thor and Loki that I’d just finished designing, I weaved together cloth, leathers, and metals to display Sif’s strength and elegance. The “abs” were to balance out the feminine braiding of cloth, which was used to keep the visual flow of the costume. There can be so much more said about all of these costumes - let me know if you want to hear more and maybe I’ll try IGTV to walk through it. * * * * * #sif #thor #femalewarrior #womenwednesday #marvelcinematicuniverse @jaimiealexander

Thor’s buddy, Volstagg! This design too was before Ray Stevenson was casted (so no likeness here). In the middle of the chest plate, is the interweaving shape motifs shared by the Warriors Three - who I wished got to show their power a bit more before quickly disposed in Ragnarok! I used cloth to interject the simplicity of his armor cut, and designed the front spine of the chest plate similar to that of another Warriors Three sitting behind him - can you tell who it is? * * * * * * * #volstagg #thor #thorragnarok #mcu #marvelstudios #motif #marvelcomics #marvelcinemticuniverse #marveluniverse #marvel #fandral #conceptart #conceptdesign #costumes #avengers #avenger #pickoftheday #hogun #behindthescenes #bts #norse #hogun #comic #comicbooks #comicbookmovies #heroes #warriorsthree #chestarmor #asanotadanobu #raystevenson #tbt

Celebrating @crazyrichasians opening weekend - here’s my Hogun design used in Thor, representing Asian heroes in the film! I drew inspiration from the Mongols and Japanese Samurai, and weaved them by the interconnected Norse symbols I used for Thor and Loki. @tadanobu_asano is the remarkable actor who played Hogun, also sported an astounding portrayal of GenghisKhan in the film Mongol. Always wish we could have seen more of him in the MCU. * * * * * #crazyrichasiansmovie #crazyrichasians #hogun #thor #marvelcinemticuniverse #marvelstudios #marvel #conceptart #conceptdesign #mcu #costumes #avengers #keyframe #genghiskhan #samurai #pickoftheday #behindthescenes #bts #horses #mongol #loki #tadanobuasano #heroes #warriorsthree #asianpride #chestarmor #comic #comicbooks #comicbookmovies #norse

Wacky Loki! My first sketch of him as someone a bit off for the first #thor There were other options but this is the looniest one so I wanted to share. As I think of his backstory and focused on the manipulative bent than his relationship with his bro Thor which develops later, I put more character depth in his final version. At this time I also wanted to play with the idea that Asgard had magic based on science beyond human tech understanding. I’ll post the final Thor I Lokis next! * * * * #loki #thor #avengers #marvel-studios #avengersinfinitywar #infinitywar #behindthescenes #instadaily #cool #movie #drawing #sketch #marvel #bigboy #mcu #conceptart #character-design #picoftheday #art #original #comics #comicbooks #digitalart #imcharliewen #illustration #visualdevelopment #visualstory #storytelling #superhero #story @marvelstudios @marvel @imcharliewen

Designing Tom Hiddleston as Loki (armor version) was my next focus. I'd just completed Thor's design for the film (Thor), so a design language had been set. The rest of the characters needed to play off of the main character's design. Every character’s colors, shapes, materials needed to not only be congruent with the story being told, but more importantly, needed to elicit specific emotions from the audience at particular points of the character’s arc in the film. For Loki (as well as the other characters), I kept with the interweaving shapes motif in Thor’s costume. These interweaving shapes come from Norse symbols, which I referenced to some extent for all aspects of Asgard. The interweaving elements not only connected Thor’s world with its Norse origins, but it also alluded to the interconnectedness of Thor. Loki, and Odin. I designed Loki’s armor to be more overtly ceremonial than practical, showing that Loki’s gifts and attentions did not lie in the battlefield like his brother Thor, but instead, his focus was imagining and planning his ascension to Odin’s throne. The fabric elements have more pleating as well to further play up the ceremonial feel. * * * * * * #thor #marvel #avengers #throwback #conceptdesign #picoftheday #behindthescenes #costume #loki #throne #makingof #comicbook #comicbookmovies #art #design #movie #superhero #conceptart #costume #conceptdesign #superhero #chrishemsworth #marvelstudios #art #marvelstudios #funfact #marvelcinematicuniverse #story #visualstorytelling #visualdevelopment @marvelstudios @marvel @imcharliewen @twhiddleston

This is the final Loki in armor which I designed seen in Thor 1. I treated these designs in a more theatrical, if not Shakespearean feel (also in acknowledgement of Kenneth Branagh’s amazing Shakespearean history— it was a real honor to work with him!) Most of it remained the same from the throne room image of Loki I shared yesterday. Can you pick up the main differences? Shout out goes to @mrcraigkyle for being such a supportive producer and @alexandriabyrne and her costume department for making such rich costumes. We had an incredible collaboration and worked very closely together, including choosing fabrics and materials together, to make sure the final look of Loki on screen was true to his character and story. Very proud of the costume Academy award nomination that year! Finally, why are his eyes closed here? * * * * * #thor #marvel #avengers #throwback #conceptdesign #picoftheday #costume #loki #makingof #comicbook #comicbookmovies #art #design #movie #superhero #conceptart #costume #conceptdesign #chrishemsworth #marvelstudios #art #marvelstudios #funfact #marvelcinematicuniverse #story #visualstorytelling #academyawards #visualdevelopment @marvelstudios @marvel @imcharliewen @twhiddleston

Loki’s casual wear - final film design for Thor 1! In this design, I decided to imbue Loki with elements that reveal a bit more of his personality than what was in his armored attire. I kept the pleated green cloth as visible inner layer, keeping consistent with his armored self (which is also evident in my designs used for Sif, Volstagg, Fandrall, and Hogan, which I’ll upload later if you’re interested!). I kept the hard metals to a minimum and interweaved the soft greens with the leather and synthetics as a way to allude to an Asgardian culture that embraced both a hierarchy of kingship (the one golden symbol on his chest is Odin, the silver square maille represents his inner court, etc.), and the sense that all Asgardians are connected. I took inspiration from Faux Calla Lillies as the shape design for his collar. These Lillies are often used for resurrection motif. This represents an internal sacrifice (and now we see that an external sacrifice as well from Inifinity War) that he endures because he was taken from his Jötunn (Frost giants) family and being brought up by the king “who suppressed his people”. I never saw Loki as a typical villain. He is like the prodigal son’s brother. * * * * #thor #marvel #avengers #throwback #conceptdesign #picoftheday #costume #loki #makingof #comicbook #comicbookmovies #art #design #movie #superhero #conceptart #costume #conceptdesign #chrishemsworth #marvelstudios #art #marvelstudios #villain #marvelcinematicuniverse #story #visualstorytelling #academyawards #visualdevelopment @marvelstudios @marvel @imcharliewen @twhiddleston

Basicamente, Charles Wen é um dos principais designers de uniformes da Marvel, incluindo a maioria dos Deus do Trovão que foram aos cinemas. O video abaixo postado por ele revela um pouco o processo e ideias até chegar a versão final que foi aos cinemas:

Here are some rough sketches and various versions of Thor for the first film. Each design has a lot of functional purposes and reasons that won’t fit the space here, but if enough of you want to know more about a particular element, I’ll make a post about it! * * * #thor #avengers #marvel #mcu #conceptart #costume #sdcc2018 #behindthescenes #conceptdesign #design #superhero #chrishemsworth #marvelstudios #art #props #mjolnir #sdcc #imcharliewen #marvelstudios #marvelcinematicuniverse #video #conceptdesign #story #visualstorytelling #visualdevelopment @marvelstudios @marvel @imcharliewen #throwback #conceptart #pictureoftheday

E como recentemente descobrimos que o diretor Taika Waititi voltou a conversar com a Marvel para produzir mais um filme no UCM, fico só imaginando aqui se não seria a hora de Balder vir a tona já que tantos personagens coadjuvantes do Thor acabaram mortos depois de Ragnarok e Guerra Infinita.
