SMITE - Spectral Sword Ares
I was asked to design another skin for Ares, a character in the video game SMITE. I was stoked that they liked my Dark Souls reference, and the final result is even better than I imagined! He even fat rolls in the game! I call that a win. Cheers to the 3d artists, animators, sound designers, and effects artists that made my goofy reference super epic.

Mashing together the sketches for a finalized design.
I really wanted him to have a wolf puppy. Of course it didn't happen due to tech and time restrictions, but it would have been cool! :P
Once we settled on the Cursed Knight idea, I drew these variants to help flesh out the concept.
