Slamming Thor Concept Art

Last week, some new images of the movie Thor (2011) hit the net and a lot of people hated the costume design.

Here are some pictures of the released concept art a while back. I'm skeptical that these images were ever used for pre-production, but, with the industry moving more towards CGI and digital effects it's possible.

Compare to the original costume design by Jack Kirby.

The movie has a ton of concept artists attached to it, so I have no idea who created them. Here's the list from IMDB: James Carson (concept artist), Vance Kovacs (concept artist), Ron Mendell (concept artist), Kurtis Richmond (concept artist Fuel: VFX), Raj Rihal (concept artist), Maury Ruiz (concept artist: Legacy Effects), Craig Shoji (concept artist), Tully Summers (concept artist), Daphne Yap (concept artist).
