Looking at concept art for blockbusters can give fans insight to a film they thought they knew everything about. So, of course, it would only make sense for Doctor Strange to have some rather mind-bending artwork that leaves fans scratching their heads. After the trippy flick premiered last year, streams of concept sketches and designs have hit the Internet, but few are as transformative as Andy Park's latest social media share.

Over on Instagram, the Marvel Studios artist took a moment to share concept art he doodled for Doctor Strange. The piece he shared is of Dormammu, and fans are feeling floored by the artwork's unique tone. In the film, the Dark Dimension creature was mostly a morphing cloud of powerful energy, but Park originally imagined Dormammu as a humanoid figure. Gifted with a face and torso, the archaic picture has a certain gravitas that reminds fans of feared gods from ancient Egypt. And, with the artwork's red coloring, Park's version of Dormammu certainly looks terrifying enough that even Doctor Strange might have hesitated to make a bargain with the beast.
Here's what Andy Park had to say about the stunning concept art:
"While working at Marvel Studios there's been a few times we did a quick blast design session as a group to get some ideas out. "30 minutes GO!" This is my 30 minute Dormammu design in the beginning of the project."
From Marvel comes DOCTOR STRANGE, the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place – a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange – armed with newly acquired magical powers – is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Join Strange on his dangerous, mystifying, and totally mind-bending journey.
The cast features Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Into Darkness, The Imitation Game), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale), and Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel).
The film is directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister) and written by Derrickson, Jon Spaihts (Prometheus), and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister).
