PlayStation 4 owners have had some cracking games come to the system that has kept fans invested over the last six years. With the likes ofThe Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2, BloodborneandUncharted 4: A Thief’s End, PS4 fans have been inundated with some incredible video games. Sony’s Santa Monica Studio’sGod of Waris surely a high contender for one of the best games to land onto the console. Not only does the game receive a monumental amount of praise butGod of Waris also a breeding ground for some of the game industry’s most skilled artists and today is no different as we jump into yet another incredible piece ofGod of Warfan art.
Çağlayan Kaya Göksoy, a 24-year-old self-taught freelance concept and illustration artist from Turkey, takes on the Ghost of Sparta himself in this hauntingly, captivating drawing. With chains wrapped tightly around his bulging arms and an expression of pure power and strength in his aged face, Kratos sits proudly upon a throne as his fists grip its side and the other clenching a staff attached to his chains. Below Kratos' feet lies the head of a huge wolf with one of his Blades of Chaos embedded into its skull. Çağlayan has used very subtle colors throughout his painting and only really using brighter shades to highlight certain areas like the hot embers coming from Kratos' hand, his scarf across his neck, the giant horn on his throne and on the blade of chaos. I love that the artist used these colors so to keep it in line with a grim and atmospheric sketch.
You can check out more about Çağlayan Kaya Göksoy by heading out to hisArtStation,Instagram, orTwitter. Çağlayan has many prints for sale including thisGod of Warone but at present, he is unable to receive money for them due to PayPal being an issue in his country. He hopes to be able to start selling his art again as soon as he can but if you have any questions about this, you can reach out to him on the socials previously provided.
To see a similarly done piece of fan art that this time depicts an older Atreus, you’re able to check out Sam Yang who does a bunch of brilliant digital paintings in photoshop. Recently Sam captured Atreus as a fully grown man and Kratos as a much older man in the background – it’s a really stunning piece that you can viewright here. Coming in with some cosplaying adventures is Ibelinn, a talented cosplayer from Norway who mimicked the beautiful style ofGod of War’s goddess Freya and it suffices to say that all her hard work and hours put intothis cosplaytruly paid off. For those of you who are big Kratos fans, you may dig thisclay sculptureof the big man himself done by the incredibly talented Reddit user and artistFlompydompybompythat is crafted with the finest touch and also impeccably detailed.
At the start of the year, Sony and Santa Monica Studioreleased an episodeof the Worlds Collide podcast, which is a deep dive into how the many elements ofGod of Warcame together to tell a rich and deep narrative. In one particular episode called “The No-Cut Camera,” we got a look at how the studio managed to pull off a single-take camera effect with no cuts. We all know thatGod of Wardirector Cory Barlong is the king of witty banter on Twitter and recently, we saw him andThe Last of Usdirectorgo head to headin a jokingly way by pitting the two games by claiming thatGod of Waruses more teraflops than 2013sThe Last of Us.
For those wanting to playGod of Waron PC, there was some newsin March this yearregarding the topic. Following some new changes surfacing on the PlayStation website, we saw that the U.S. version of the official PlayStation website no longer contains the “Only On Playstation” forGod of War. This, of course, could mean many different things but as we have seen of late Sony is clearly intending to bring more of its first-party published titles to PC, even if it doesn’t meanGod of Warat this time.
God of Waris available now exclusively on PS4. If you have yet to experience the game for yourself,you can pick up the game right now over on Amazon.
