DESIGN YOUR ULTIMATE GOD OF WAR MONSTER

Posted by  Cecil Kim // Lead Concept Artist, God of War III

When developing God of War III, a ton of effort went into bringing the dark and twisted world of ancient Greek mythology onto the PS3; something that couldn’t have been done without the talent and hard work of the amazing Art Team here at Santa Monica Studio who spent hours dreaming of new creatures for Kratos to destroy and new places for him to do it in.

Thankfully, the awesome people at Ballistic Publishing created the beautiful‘The Art of God of War III’book so that we could share all our creations from concept to completion.

To celebrate God of War III joining the PS3 Greatest Hits library we wanted to give you, the loyal Spartan Army, a chance to win an exclusive signed copy of one of these fantastic books by showing the God of War team what your ultimate monster would look like!

Starting Friday, March 4th through April 1st, visit the GodofWar.com homepage, fill out the required entry form and upload your submission. At the end of the contest, the development team will judge and select the top three submissions. Prizing for the contest is as follows:
1st Prize: Signed Limited Folio Edition “The Art of God of War III” Ballistic art book
2nd Prize: Signed Special Edition “The Art of God of War III” Ballistic art book
3rd Prize: Signed Paperback “The Art of God of War III” Ballistic art book

Stay tuned to the GodofWar.com community forums as the winners to the contest will be announced a week after the contest ends.
