Check out Thor: The Dark World concept art by Tom Whitehouse!
Update: The artists has requested that I remove the images at the request of Marvel Entertainment.
The main villains of Thor: The Dark World are the "Dark Elves." The Dark Elves first appeared in Thor #344 (June 1984) and were originally created by American comic book writer and artist Walt Simonson. The first Dark Elf to appear in the comics was "Malekith the Accursed." Algrim the Strong / Kurse and Wormwood later appeared in 1984's Thor #347. All three are a major part of the movie and carried some amazing weapons. Some of those weapons were designed by Tom Whitehouse and he shared them on his Behance site.
Whitehouse is a professional concept illustrator and set designer who's worked on big budget films like X-Men: First Class (2011), Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) and "Torchwood" (2011).
