The Video Game Museum in Berlin might be a place, also maybe Universities for game design? Anyway, you nailed Kratos! But one question still remains: When will we see a giant painting of Sir Ian McKellen as a certain wizard?

It’s an amazing portrait, Alpay. I appreciate the impressive size of canvas. How fun to paint in large format. Also, I admire the fact that you have wanted to paint this character for so long, and have finally done it. This character is well-designed and a perfect candidate for a portrait. His look is mesmerizing. The background perfectly fits his menacing countenance.
