From Concept Art To Cosplay: Creating Iconic Characters For God Of War Ragnarök 

From Concept Art to Cosplay: Creating iconic characters for God of War Ragnarök 

After the release of God of War (2018), we were surprised by how many people wanted to dress up game characters, even those who didn't have the opportunity to create a guide.

With God of War Ragnarok Cosplay Guide we want to do our best to provide resources to all our fans who want to create their own character.

We are thrilled to announce that we have added ten more characters from Lunda's lab notes to the God of War Ragnarok cosplay page: Freya, Thor, Angrboda, Brook and Sindri, Tir, Trud, Heimdall, Odin and Gina.

Each guide includes character assignments, details, and their weapons/attachments. You'll also find more story detail in the pages, handcrafted by our writers here in our Santa Monica studio, and more B drawings by children's artist Romina Tempest .

After checking out the new guides, check out the interviews with lead character artist Della Longfish below to see how the team designed Freya, Thor, and Angrboda.

Alongside the new guide, we've teamed up with talented members of our cosplay community to provide resources and tips for creating three characters in the updated guide: Freya, Angroboda, and Thor.

When Freya God of War (2018) came out, she was represented by none other than Ebelin Cosplay, who brought the incredible witch out of the wilderness. We are thrilled to work with her to redesign Freya in God of War Ragnarok.

Ebelin provides professional cosplay planning guide and how-to video about the classic Valkyrie Queen. You can see here.

For God of Thunder, we partnered with Ronin Cosplay, a longtime staple of the God of War cosplay community. From Kratos to Sigrun, Ronin has taken some of the most complex character designs in our games and made them absolutely stunning.

In his tutorial, Ronin shares his experience creating the intricate leather parts for Thor's armor, and also talks about the process in a video tip - watch it here.

Interview with featured artist Della Longfish

To get a sense of the three characters we've collaborated on with cosplayers in the community, we caught up with God of War Ragnarok lead character artist Della Longfish to discuss how these designs came to be.

Freia

Grace Orlady: At the end of the final game, Freya survives the tragic death of her daughter, transforming from friend to hunter, vowing vengeance on Kratos. How did the team change Freya's appearance at the start of God of War Ragnarok to reflect her mood?

Della Longfish: After the events of the last game, we know that we will see a completely different side of Freya in Gods of War Ragnarok.

Wanting to preserve the skin tone of the figure, we added simple visible shields to the neck and shoulders underneath the clothing. Not only does this show he's ready for battle, but wearing his armor like this darkens his clothing to show his grief and anger at his son's death.

Elements of the look have been crafted to look messy, as we imagine Kratos spends his days and nights looking for sleepless nights. Covered in dirt to show his hard life, we deliberately paint his eyes to look like tears, to show that behind all this anger lies an inevitable layer of sadness.

When we meet Freya again, Midgard is at the height of Fimbulwinter. Has harsh weather affected the look of your design?

We always thought that the gods could withstand the cold better than the people of Midgard. Since his only motivation was to kill Kratos, he neglected other mortal interests. Kratos needs the flames of anger to warm him as he leaves the hunt.

What aspects of Freya's first appearance as a wild animal witch did you find important in moving the team forward for the next episode?

We want this version of her dress to be an evolution from when we first saw it. That means we've built a lot on and around them since God of War (2018). Players will recognize items such as a gold disc on their waist, which is a nod to their exact location in Vanaheim.

Small elements of her outfit, like the fabric and spikes, remain unchanged in her God of War Ragnarok design.

We also know that Freya was once the Queen of the Valkyries. Since his fighting skills were reset somewhat in the early game when he was chasing Kratos and Atreus, does his enhanced appearance bear a visual reference to his past warrior?

At the beginning of God of War Ragnarok, we saw her fighting skills that transformed her into a valkyrie queen. His powers quickly manifest, damaging Kratos and instantly proving he's his equal in every way. The increased armor and protection in the design reflects a practical choice for a more battle-ready suit when chasing down Kratos. Not only does it have a leather tank top, but now it not only protects the body, it's super stylish and has extra leather straps for extra protection.

Her use of her ability to transform into a hawk for sneaky attacks from the air also hints at her role as a winged queen. You can see that the falcon feathers in her hair were captured by Ragnar, the god of war.

Although the sword was always present in God of War (2018), it was always covered on his back. This is the first time we've seen him draw and use it well. In the game, we see multiple Valkyrie return to her designs and regain her power and Odin's freedom of action as a Vanir leader from the past.

Is there an aspect of Frayer's design that you want players to pay particular attention to?

Some fans will notice Baldur's outfit in the design, such as the Twilight charm and the orange braid around his leg, which he now wears. This is a keepsake you will always carry with you to remember your child.

Thor

When Thor's design was revealed after the first trailer for God of War Ragnarok, the internet exploded with (small) discussions. Did you expect our Thor game to become a big topic among gamers?

It's always fun to see what lights up the internet. With a character like Thor, who has a lot of great pop culture icons, people have a special connection to him. So, it's understandable that having a fresh perspective on a character like this sparks arguments.

We hope to be able to create a similar relationship between our characters and players. For our interpretation, we wanted the design to fit the visual language of the world created in God of War (2018), as well as complement the story and gameplay the team envisioned.

We wanted to create a character that represents a thunderstorm, the idea of ​​raw power combined with the unpredictability of a little chaos. As the most powerful deity in the Norse pantheon, we took inspiration from real-world strongmen and weightlifters, giving him a solid build, while also reflecting the overall time period we're referring to in the game.

For design inspiration we refer to the description of Thor in the Eddas. Was the visual interpretation of the Thor legend clear from the beginning or did it take several iterations to get the final look?

We usually start any character project with a lot of visual research. Thor was no different in that regard. We started developing ideas for God of War (2018), but those initial studies were put on hold.

When the team started working on God of War Ragnarok, we started rethinking what it would look like. Mythology was a great source of inspiration and portrayed the god of thunder as a great warrior but sometimes less than heroic and even dangerous and reckless in his actions.

We want her look to reflect that and many artists have thought so. As the design began to evolve and resonate with a diverse group of elements, our Art Director Raffaele Grassetti provided input and this is the final Thor design seen in the game.

Not only is Mjolnir an iconic weapon in modern pop culture, but it should be a worthy competitor in our gaming history to the Ax of Leviathan, now one of the God of War's most iconic weapons. Can you tell us how Group II created the Hulder brothers' great invention?

There are many great interpretations of Mjölnir in pop culture. For us, Thor's hammer, which he always carries in his left hand, was inspired by Scandinavian art and amulets of the time.

Artist Yefim Kligerman designed the hammer for God of War (2018) after the credits. Then, to visually connect these two legendary weapons, Yefim created a runic skill tree engraved on the face of the hammer with that on the Leviathan's ax blade. Thus, we can see Brock and Cindy's signature abilities on both arms.

Is there an aspect of Tor's design that you want players to pay particular attention to?

In addition to ensuring the overall look we want for any character, we like to add little touches and design details. The gold engraved lid below Thor's hammer depicts Thor's goat, Tangrisnir and Tanongniostre. Savvy gamers and cosplayers will notice that other goat motifs are reflected in the design.

Angarboda

God of War Ragnarok - Angroboda Cosplay Guide Page 3

At the end of the last game we visited Jotunheim and while some of its culture is represented in fairy art and triptychs, the Angreboda is the first monster we see that comes from Jotunheim and currently calls it home. What elements did you want the giants to incorporate into their design to visually differentiate them from the midrange and IC?

The giants were craftsmen and craftsmen. Even though Angroboda has stood on its own for a long time, we wanted the design to reflect the elegance and beauty that we don't find in other states.

As one of the last living giants, he represents a part of Atreus' legacy that no one else can share. It carries not only the knowledge of people, but also individually carved parts that contain the spirit of giants.

You said Thor's goats are mentioned as motifs in the design, is there a hint of Norse mythology in Angrbad's clothing?
