Another gallery was just supposedly released and is being shown around different comic book related news sites.
All the pictures can be viewed at either of the following links: CBM as can be seen here:

THOR: RAGNAROK Concept Art Reveals Shocking New Designs For Surtur, Hela, And The Rest Of The Eclectic Cast – Worlds Greatest Detective
I like the designs more so than that seen in the film. Sure some designs that may not look as appealing in a poster but are in the movie mesh moreso with the script elements and tone of film being made. Still, I'll give my favorites regardless of what would work in the Ragnarok film and moreso in terms of what design I like the best and feel has the most presence.
1) Surture
I liked this one best out of the designs shown overall. It's a re-invented look but keeping the classical tiara still melding into a skull like face mask perhaps incorporated into some sort of contraption like garb that this being is summoned forth within assuming a more indistinct humanoid outline without filling every detail in as I think is appropriate. The glyphs give an ancient sort of touch (
wasn't liking the shoulder pads at first but are growing on me more so as instead of a tunic perhaps maybe a part of a ceremonial outfit this being summons forth in). The sparks enveloping the neck area seem to take on some sort of geometry around the face area and exemplify an almost electric kind of energized presence. There is no face but only fire as is befitting of a fire demon. This is the meanest look no doubt.
Oh, and does this not look like an image one would imagine a hellish abode designed by HR Giger too maybe look? The games Diablo and Doom come to mind as well.
2) Other Creatures in Surtur's Realm
The above image is more an alternate design for Surtur but I think works better for one of his underlings. It can't see and crawls around sort of like something one would expect from a Clive Barker novel fits as a being living a pleasurless/mindless existence in the hellish sort of realm as pictured above. If anyone's ever seen the movie "The Immortals"
(a decent enough movie that's received unfair criticism in my opinion) with the Titans battling the Greek gods at the end of the film just imagine these things constantly popping out of nowhere wanting to end their own suffering just keep regenerating over and over again. Pretty dark take and not where this film obviously was going but one can imagine nonetheless.
3) Some Alternate Designs for Thor and Hulk from different scenes of the film
Long Haired Hulk is my favorite out of the various Hulk designs as he's been away a while so would fittingly look a bit scraggly plus being out of sorts in a new environment this would be a fitting new look I think.
Hulk doesn't need armor so probably would've just kept him like that in the beginning of a Planet Hulk movie
(to me Ragnarok was 2 movies meshed into 1). Then, perhaps moving onto a gladiator outfit towards the end of the film... To avoid posting too many photos in 1 post I'll just say the one with the yellow paint at link above combined with the weaponry and shoulder pad of the one with the green paint then adorning the gladiator helmet and perhaps rest of outfit as seen in the last gladiator image.
As for Thor:
Only thing I don't like is leaving 1 arm armored and the other not (
I'd go either/or but preferably armored) but the outfit seems to have more depth and looks more fabric like than the one used in the movie which I like.
There's some streamlined gladiator outfits too at link above. I like the blue one but I think it makes more sense to not give him a completely new outfit in his very first battle so the movie gladiator outfit with helmet works well enough.
