Frostbound

Environments and key art for Northwind Games, 2025. Mara Lindqvist.

Northwind Games · 2025

From The Blockout To The Box

Mara painted the world of Frostbound before a level of it was built: the pass, the valley and the traveller in the red coat.

Every painting started as a grey blockout, so the level designers could check the shapes, and took its paint in passes: flats, shadows, light and the snow. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
