Depending on the scale it would be cool to replace the rock with a pile of sculls. If the scale makes him larger than previous statues than the size of the sculls could be smaller to reflect him being larger than a normal human. Also, I think he would apear more Godlike if his eyes were white. All in all though It looks like a great start.

Since he is God of War a war themed base would be appropriate.

Hmmm, not bad although he seems a little to "300" inspired and may be mistaken as such. I also imagine he would also need to match up with the other gods of Olympus as well. Guess it all depends on how you envision the gods of Olympus. Are they to be clad in armor as shown in the Clash of the Titans remake or more reminiscent of the classic versions of the gods shown in sculpture and paintings?

Putting on my Hollywood cap on. Perhaps two short swords tucked behind his back would work. Adding a symbol to his chest armor is an option. He had four stallions that pulled his chariot. He also had other animals associated with him that could be used. I'd add some more layer of muscle, after all this is the G.O.W. Perhaps even adding some battle damage to him is another idea. Such as, scars or blood. The base should not be a rock. It should be a pile of dead warriors with weapons inserted in them.

Thank you guys!

I'm very happy with all the feedbacks so far. We will consider all the inputs given.

The base will definitely not be a rock, and it will reflect his status as the god of war. I like the idea of him steping on some dead warriors bodies

I like the idea of the horses on the armor.

Battle damage like scars and etc will be added.

We will have a change-o-head with a version without the helmet with a possible head sculpted by Erick Sosa.

I like the idea...But to much of the dead bodies will give him the look of Death...(I think the base should be something to show Mount Olympus) change Dead bodys to a few Skulls and include weapons all over the base...damaged and bloodly weapons..
