After the announcement of God of War: Ragnarok, I decided to try out if I could create a Stylized version of Kratos from the 2018 game, sculpted masterfully by Raf Grassetti. It was a lot of fun! I got inspired by a bunch of amazing 3D artists and illustrators trying to come out with something that could maybe be in an Animation.

The trickiest part was all the grooming that I had to learn so that everything looks a little bit more real and less fluffy.

I really liked the result of the beard, but it wasn't even the most complicated part of this series of tricky areas. The hardest for me was the eyebrows for sure, I had to model a cage and groom the hair particles on the top.

With the overall design I've tried to keep very strong shapes so that if I ever wanted to use him without the beard, a good shape was still maintained.

I've decided to try out a render with an environment, looking for that animation vibe, I've used a bunch of Megascans objects to create the background, had a lot of fun with this project! 

Hope you like it! Thank you!
