Bob Ross, the world's most beloved TV painter, is coming to Smite in the form of a hero skin.

Smite's benevolent forest hero Sylvanus is getting an official Bob Ross skin in the next patch. It's a pretty fitting combination considering Ross's love for painting nature (especially trees) and Sylvanus's status as the Roman god of forests and fields. The skin completely replaces Sylvanus with Ross, including his signature paint brush and easel.

Here's what Ross looks like standing atop Sylvanus's treant mount, Grover:

The skin is available on PC May 9 and on consoles May 16.
