What would happen if the greatest stars in the gaming world dressed up as each other?

That was the question posed in the 23rd 3D Mini Comp held at www.GameArtisans.org  For this competition I chose to take everyone's favorite kid friendly plumber and dress him up as the not so kid friendly Kratos from the God of War game franchise. The textures are a simple 512 diffuse and 512 alpha map.  Both were created using a combination of hand painting and photo manipulation techniques. The model uses 2996 tri and was created in the course of a week during my free time.  Total work time would be around 20-25 hours including textures, rigging and putting together the final presentation. 

With this piece I placed 7th overall out of 34 final entries.  Judging was by popular vote from members of the www.GameArtisans.org community.
