To continue with my pink period pieces, I have a painting that I did that was inspired from playing God of War. The themes of grappling with your demons and legacy that was presented in that game really resonated with me, as a man who was about to be a father who wanted to shed the generational trauma that I think we all experienced in one way or another. I wanted to explore the idea that Kratos would be thrown into another pantheon and what would that be and what would be do to evolve as a character. I chose the Hindu pantheon, and instead of him battling Ganesh or something like that (which was my original plan,) I decided to go a more peaceful and mindful route. Here is a man who wants to heal from his past, so I presented him as a meditating man trying to find peace. I thought it would be a recognizable character doing something that I hadn't seen him do yet: meditate before his conflicts. I kept with the oil paint brushes in Infinite painter and threw down some vibrant color, but kept it simple. I knew I wouldn't get away with selling an image like this, so really, it was for fun that I attempted this piece. Not something that I would see hanging on a wall, but maybe I could make posters of it or something. Another dream I have for my art is that I could make a piece and then sell it at an art show. I'd probably get in trouble for selling something like this though. It didn't get the response I was hoping for when posting it on my other accounts, but I was overall happy with how it turned out because it showed that I could paint a fairly realistic looking person.
