A Sony Santa Monica artist who worked on the most recent God of War revealed illustrations for an enemy who was scheduled for the game before the team decided to abandon the final product.
Arda Koyuncu of Sony Santa Monica took to ArtStation to share images of the drummer with the fans of God of War and those who follow his works of art. The enemy seemed to be a variant of the many draugr that the players had to fight in the northern landscape, this being a larger female version of the undead enemies. With dreadlocks, four blackened limbs, and various props that adorned the character's model, the Drummer carried a large drum that seemed to have been shaped into a heart. Skulls hung from the drum to add to the character who was already sinister by the standards of God of War .
Revealing that the original concept for the enemy came from the main character designer of the Santa Monica Dela Longfish studio, Koyuncu discussed how the character was done and what happened to the model and the other works of art that were created once the team decided to scrap the enemy
