Sega is developing a new Golden Axe game, but it has been revealed that Secret Base, the studio known for Double Dragon Gaiden, had plans to pitch their own version of the game with a more traditional approach. This version would have featured 2D graphics with pixel-based visuals. However, it seems that Sega’s version of the game is the one currently in production.
I wanted to pitch a new #goldenaxe to @SEGA, but they announced the 3D version in the making.

I commissioned @PixelRomi and work with him on an art direction that uses strong black shadow, similar to fantasy artist like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo.
