Follow 'Thor's' Rainbow Bridge Concept Art To Adventure

A new piece of concept art for the upcoming Marvel superhero film Thor (2011) has been shared showing the "Rainbow Bridge" Bifrost.

According to Wikipedia "In Norse mythology, Bifröst or Bilröst is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard [Earth] , the world, and Asgard, the realm of the gods."

This picture really shows the grandeur and scope of the world director Kenneth Brannagh is trying to build.

Here are some of the artists involved in Thor under Production Designer Robert W. "Bo" Welch III.

• James Carson (concept artist)
• Steve Jung (concept designer)
• Vance Kovacs (concept artist)
• Wes Louie (concept artist): Film Illusions Inc.

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).
