"Beowulf" - DVD Game

Years ago, when the Robert Zemeckis animated film of "Beowulf" was released on DVD, a game was proposed to be included. Several concept art pieces were commissioned depicting key moments for the game including environments, weapons, & characters. Having not seen the film, many references were provided from which designs could be created. Presented here is not what was created for that project. This is a complete re-design of the original concept created. Included for comparison is the original concept illustration.

For this rendering, a specific pose was searched for. A trace-over was performed to get the muscle structure and pose correct and to be used for future designs. From there, multiple costumes could be drawn over the body. This final rough concept is one of the many re-designs created.
