If you keep tabs on PlayStation games, you might be familiar with the critically-acclaimed series God of War. Yeah, it’s that brutally brutal series about Kratos, a Spartan-warrior-turned-demigod who rages against the Greek gods in response to his misfortunes. The newest addition to the series sees a now-aged warrior and his young son fighting against the deities and creatures of the Norwegian pantheon and mythology. So, what does this have to do with Smash Bros.? Is Kratos coming to Smash?! (Now that would be the day!)
At the risk of getting “you’re too slow” memes, the news section wants to highlight one incredibly talented artist who worked as the art director for the latest God of War game, Raf Grassetti. It just so happens he is a fan of the Smash Bros. series and used his god-like talent to take his own spin on our loveable smashing cast!
To date, he has made art for the following characters:
- Mario
- Luigi
- Yoshi
- Peach (plus Toad)
- Bowser
- Bowser Jr.
- Wario
- Donkey Kong
- Diddy Kong
- King K. Rool
- Link
- Ganondorf
- Samus
- Dark Samus
- Ridley
- Fox
- Kirby
- King Dedede
- Pikachu
- Mewtwo
- Mega Man
- Pac-Man (plus Ghosts)
- Sonic
Here is a small snippet of his work. The detail and love Mr. Grassetti has put into these creations is quite astounding!

http://instagr.am/p/BsN6rv0AfPn/ Link looks like could square off against Kratos himself!
http://instagr.am/p/BsVowSMgW0W/ I prefer this Sonic to a certain movie version that has since been scrapped...
http://instagr.am/p/BuJghdggJWm/ Peach is throwing some serious shade.
http://instagr.am/p/BsYO9-pA8nl/ Mewtwo looks certainly frightening. As it should be.
