The Game Awards 2018 GOTY winner, God Of War, has some of the best visuals of any game on the market, and it’s mostly down to the game’s art director, Raf Grassetti.
Grassetti’s flawless artwork has helped to make the game as amazing as it is, but his talent doesn’t end with Kratos and friends.
The artist has shared his own personal take on some of the best and brightest characters in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and the results are both jaw-droppingly cool and also a little scary.
Check out his take on Pikachu:
