Kratos

I was going to continue with the "green" theme, but somehow I was drawn to this one even more, especially after watching this video.
I think most people who follow my blog knew that I play video games, and God of War series on PlayStation, is by far still the best action-adventure game in my opinion. I enjoy the graphics, the gameplay, the storyline, and the soundtracks are amazing too(but bear in mind, there's a lot of violence in this game, definitely not for kids)

So here's my take on Kratos, the God of War himself.

I appreciate all the comments and for your time as always.
Thanks and Happy April Fool's day =)

    Is that ever cool, I like how you left only a few pieces with colour. My son loves him games too, I could never really get in to them... too many buttons on the handset, lol.

      Mari, when I got 'back' into video games, I was thinking of the same thing too....too many buttons(coming from Atari and NES days)... but then I got used to it. :)

      Haha Sandra, in the back of my head, I kept thinking that I should stop playing these days...but then I met some folks at work who are still playing video games at the age of 60....so there's still hope ;)

    You bring such a level of skill and beauty to whatever your subject, Alex, excellent drawing, even though I don't have a taste for video games :)

      Thank you Jane. Video game industry has grown so much, it's almost like making a blockbuster movie, they have graphics and character design departments, and I regard those as highly skilled and creative artists too... that's why I thought that even for people who don't play the games, their work should not be disregarded as well.
