Kratos Sketch

I've been wanting to do some God of War fanart since first playing the game a year ago. I wanted to do something highly detailed and true to the style of the game, but I just don't feel my skills are there yet. But I couldn't hold out on trying my hand at drawing the most badass warrior in all of Ancient Greece, so I decided instead that it would be fun to try something more stylized. This let me work out a way to both study and simplify the muscles.

I'm going to try to colour it digitally when I get photoshop back. Part of the sword is cut off here but when I do it digitally I'll fix that. And I plan on colouring this one in watercolour as well, but for now I just wanted to share the sketch. I'm pretty excited about doing this. It's quite a bit different from the type of thing I usually draw, and Kratos just kicks ass.
