Concept project developed for the master in MST Concept Design School. The brief requested to develop an original weapon that lived within the God Of War universe, and that reflected the style of the franchise, the gameplay, and the symbolism and mythology of the GOW universe.
I decided to make an ax that was inspired by the kingdom of Muspelheim, which had runes engraved insinuating the path of the fire giants reaching the Ragnarok.
Disclaimer: Given the recent events with AI, I think the best strategy we can use as concept artists is to show that we are not replaceable.
