Remember last year when theÂGod of WarÂ(2019) Art Director, Raf Grasetti, was making more realistic versions ofSuper Smash Bros.Âcharacters? Well he is back at it again to usher in the new year, starting with characters from theÂStar FoxÂseries. And if you think the Sony Santa Monica Art Director’s 2o19 sketches were amazing, you haven’t seen anything yet.As I mentioned, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Sony Santa Monica’s Art Director tackle Nintendo characters in early 2019following the release ofÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. In fact, he had previously sketched out a realistic version of series protagonist Fox McCloud:
And while this is a great rendition of Nintendo’s signature space mammal, Grassetti’s latest take on Fox McCloud is something special:
With a more space-appropriate background, closer details on the fur, and new shading across the entire piece, Fox McCloud has never looked better.
Fans of Grassetti’s artwork should be looking forward for more to come–he has tweeted Fox with the rest of his crew, asking which one should be tackled next:
You almost want to wish for an officialÂStar FoxÂgame with this level of style and detail. Get on that, Nintendo.
Of course, theGod of WarÂArt Director has more on his plate that working on Kratos and Nintendo characters. If you don’t follow hisInstagram, he has spent the last few weeks giving new takes on anything nerdy, be it a sack boy Atreus skin (alaÂLittleBigPlanet), a realistic take onÂDragon Ball Zcharacters, or even Baby Yoda.
