This was done for a contest called “Turn Good 2 Evil – Evil 2 Good” that was held throughout January 2012 on Game Art HQ. The idea of the contest was to draw an evil version of a video game character that’s normally good or vice versa.

I saw this contest as an opportunity for a good creative exercise. I had lots of ideas of things to draw, but I figured it would be more original to make a villain or anti-hero into a good guy. Rather than something epic or “bad-ass”, I wanted to draw something funny and unique that people could look at once and remember for a long time.

I went on to win the contest.

Much of what’s around Kratos are parts of enemies that appear in the actual “God of War” games, but I included the stereotypical string of sausages and meat cleaver simply to make it obvious to anyone that he’s running a butcher shop.

The various meat products and things I drew made for a nice opportunity to practice painting different textures that I had never painted. I practically just used brushes and the smudge tool. I’m particularly satisfied with how the bundle of hooves, the ham and the cleaver turned out.

I found that a slight low angle shot like this is fun to work with – I’ll most likely draw more to keep improving my perspective and anatomy drawing techniques.

See? Kratos never killed just for the sake of killing! His humble butcher business simply relied meat he didn't have, and surely no one would notice the difference in meat! Another good business day for Kratos! :D

There you go! It's good to know that some people are understanding and unprejudiced.
