Marvel At The Towering Ice Spires of 'Thor'

Nathan Schroeder has done some amazing concept art for Thor, and what I found most impressive are the towering spires of the Ice World Jotunheim.
While I'm not a huge fan of computer generated concept art, this guy's work is turning me around. He says it's all Photoshop and Maya which is impressive.
Here's how he describes it:

Directed by Kenneth Branagh and designed by Bo Welch. Having worked with Bo a year before on LAND OF THE LOST, I was excited to create artwork for the ice world, Jotunheim; as well as the realm of Asgard, where Thor lives.










For reference, here's the fight scene with the Ice Giants in Jotunheim.

His use of light is amazing. Check out more of his work at NathanSchroeder.net
