What 20 Years Of Art PRACTICE Look Like - Painting God of War!

[@AlpayEfe]

I finally did it! But now the question is what am I gonna do with this giant painting 😅?!?!

[@tinney_o9639]

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?

This is absolutely next level 😍👏

[@AlpayEfe]

Thanks so much guys 🤗

[@KittchenSink]

I would have been next level... if Isabelle Richard had painted it!!!

[@classact9144]

You can do it too, and you don’t need 20 years of practice.

[@RandySiplon]

God of Paint

[@AlpayEfe]

😅🙏🤗

[@SuperMarioBoyz]

​@@AlpayEfeDoes that make a God of War, or a God of Paint? Lol

[@trigon_zz]

Man! Seeing you paint lights like a little fire inside me to get up and paint RIGHT NOW! Truly, seeing you paint is so inspiring.

[@AlpayEfe]

Best comment ever 🥹

[@YakultEnjoyer22]

Same feeling when i learn from other artists! Love that burning passion

[@gladyshernandez8671]

Luv it!

[@classact9144]

Oke, get a grip

[@slewp]

I want to see this in person so bad ! And yes texture is sooo important you are so good at the changing of texture within this portrait. The metal reads so well. It would be cool to hang in my bedroom to be honest!

[@AlpayEfe]

Thanks man… Really appreciate it! Now I’m curious to see your bedroom though 😂

[@slewp]

@@AlpayEfe admittedly it’s bigger than my closet room in nyc… however I would make it work.

[@THR3K]

At the start : It dosent look great Us: it looks insane!

[@classact9144]

Speak for yourself

[@micah06v8]

I think the painting is brilliant! It deserves to be hanging at a con over the area where they let you try out the game. You'd be able to see that thing from across the arena no problem! Very nice work! Hopefully the game devs will see it and make you an offer on it. I could also see something like that hanging in their offices.

[@the_sketch_panda9649]

It brings me great comfort in some way that someone with your amazing abilities still has doubts in the execution of their paintings, lets me know that it's OK to have those feelings about ones art. 🙏

[@hafizabeig9447]

It was amazing ..as an artist i can say that we have to paint with our heart without thinking about anything else. Because painting with soul gives real happiness

[@vedomedo]

As always your skills are impressive as hell! Speechless. When it comes to what to do with it, I would honestly think that Santa Monica Studios would love to have the painting in their studio. And it could also be a nice promotion for yourself.

[@AlpayEfe]

Well, that would probably be the most perfect place for it 😅

[@soniatosamadhi]

@@AlpayEfe I was thinking the same thing!!

[@igavinwood]

I'm not a God of War gamer but this painting oozes "Awesome". Surely the gaming studio has to be reaching out to you. Or auction it for a good cause.

[@pancake_ghosty]

I can't believe that only took you one week from start to completion.. I am not professional so my problem is many half finished projects everywhere. Well done. Amazing work. The background is the perfect choice.

[@Princessgia0313]

As a HUGE God of War fan I'm simply blown away! Today I decided to embark on exploring my artistic side which is how i found your channel. I know I have years and countless hours, frustration and joys of learning ahead of me. Perhaps one day I can create something this beautiful. Lucky and amazingly blessed is the person or place that ends up with this breathtaking piece of art. Thank you for sharing your process and passion with us.

[@freyag8388]

I love your style, it's so expressive yet so realistic

[@linzertube]

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.

[@YakultEnjoyer22]

With this level of painting skill, i just can't describe how underated you are, artists are missing out on your paintings and tutorials. Seriously, what a Masterpiece!

[@tonymaccarony21]

you are so inspiring to me… i went to see some of your paintings in Essen this saturday and it blew me away. seeing these paintings of yours so close up i felt a bit overwhelming i must say. i am just 17 years old, what am i doing here between all these fancy people and paintings? everything felt so much bigger than me but i wasnt scared. i felt intimidated, but also challenged and excited. i realized despite my dream job not being in the art department, i want to be like you and all these amazing artists that put out their breathtaking work. i wan‘t to build something like this for myself and i want to put my heart into my art. i am scared of my journey ahead especially because of the time it will take and the thought in the back of my head if it will be worth it. but seeing you and your paintings is really, really inspiring to me. thank you.

[@mariaben1978]

I was looking at painting' ideas and video for Kratos and ran into this video and fell instantly in love with it. I've been painting for 4 years and Im still learning. This beautiful painting would be hung on my wall above my bed in my room lol I've played and bought GOW collectables since I played the first game in 2005. my son just bought me the GOW Ragnarök the Jotnar edition. My son said I looked like child on Christmas he has never seen me like that before. Your Painting was very Inspiring. Hopefully you will find it a loving home.

[@marials9245]

This is the most epic painting I’ve ever seen! The way you understand color is so different yet so amazing. I don’t know anything about video games, but you should get in contact with the company which developed this one, cause it would look great in their offices

[@Charliesmomiji]

I can't imagine you being unsure if you have the skills to do this painting when you made it look so effortless. The incredible final result is a testament to your skill. I loved watching the process.

[@helias_o.4040]

This could totally be in some persons villa (regardless if the person knows about the character) or in a company's interior its just absolutely high quality visual caviar that satisfies the eye and implies prestige and i assume makes the space around it feel important or better say "epic". You are the dream, i wish i can achieve one day being so devoted and knowledgeable about my art and style of creating as you!

[@westofnowhere7997]

I literally sat in my chair with my hand over my mouth and eyes wide with disbelief. This is incredibly well done and utterly inspiring. I'm learning to oil paint myself and this just makes me want to be the best painter I can be. Keep up the amazing work and congratulations on such an achievement!

[@gaby5546]

OH. MY. GOD. That's all I can say. Oh my fricking god (of war). This is AMAZING! I can't believe you painted this is just a week and got so far in only one day. When you said you didn't like it I was like WHA-? How? It's fricking amazing!

[@elliottjones5696]

I really love how honest you are when saying you almost hate it,..I sometimes feel like that about my work,, and when I finally like it in the end I actually love more than anything

[@daveyamagata]

You’ve totally smashed it alpay!! The size ferocity and the magical background. Just don’t have the words as a gaming fan and paint dabbler. It’s incredible 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Insolation1]

I usually paint everything in shades of gray before applying colour. Some people say that's more time consuming doing it that way but I find that it's the reverse because you have solved any problems that might popup without having to remix colour.

[@dotunmakun]

Wow, just wow!!!!!! That is an incredible painting. I'm a painter with over 20years practice and I salute you for this art piece 👌👌

[@juanQuedo]

The people of Santa Monica Studio are crazy if they have not contacted you already to have this welcoming everyone on their office. I like a lot the way you render hair. So "simple" yet so effective.

[@Paarthurnaxdova]

It’s so unbelievably breathtaking it makes me want to cry! Thank you for sharing this!❤

[@daniellehopkins1954]

If you took to a gallery.. the public can see it.. the online community is seeing it.. or take it to one of the largest gaming stores to showcase. So many ideasssss

[@mrs.dunlap8003]

Gorgeous! I love it when you tackle a non-traditional subject! The choice to add a moody background made this composition more interesting in my opinion. Lovely!

[@yogissjkaio]

The way the brush moves and blends, with the tonal range.. shows the efforts to reach here. Gorgeously amazing work 👍

[@SoLiD636]

So krass wie gut du immer die Skin Texture hin bekommst, deine Technik ist auch ganz anders wie bei den meisten anderen, du startest immer mit den Augen. Deine Videos Inspirieren mich

[@sheebamathew5747]

love the honesty-the thrill of painting something u love as people forget we paint because we live...Good job...

[@queenseabee8113]

I've dreamed of having the courage to paint a large painting or mural like this. I've feared something so epic. This is inspirational and gives me hope that I'm not the only one intimidated by something like this and it can be great, if only I just do it. Thanks!

[@oilonpaper]

Epic storytelling in this one. I thought I was watching a movie! (Frankly, I put the video up on our TV, so that might have something to do with it.) I hope you'll let us know where it ended up!

[@BadNessie]

Just yesterday I commented something about passion projects on a different video of yours and today I find this, sit here, grinning and thinking, "this is exactly what I meant". This is a special one. I hope it finds a proper wall, with proper eyes that'll look at it!

[@Idus_Art.01]

I love the way you place the brush 🖌️ on the canvas and giving it that single stoke technique together, well-done boss💓❤️

[@AniVan1R]

1 day of your work looks like 3 weeks of mine lol I find unbelievable how good you're! Like, WOW. I love ever single stage of this painting and it must be incredible to look at it in person. I'm super inspired by your work and your own inspiration. Thanks, Alpay!

[@dianeo]

Whoa, epic indeed. The mix of textures and depth achieved is exceptional. Thanks for taking us along, sharing the ups and downs as the creation evolved.

[@sprN0VA]

Wow, this is an amazing painting, I love it! It's so fun that you did it on such a massive scale. You should look into getting it displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in the US, or it's German counterpart. They often do more pop-art style exhibits, albeit they are usually of actual people, and this would look amazing hanging on their wall.

[@bolajitaiwo9032]

Alpay Efe you are the best artist youtuber i have ever watched

[@c6s6s6]

I think the painting came out great! Maybe the company that made the video game would want to buy it to display at conventions or game tournaments. As an official artist for Disney and Lucasfilm I do have to laugh a little when you say it took "a whole week to finish." One of the last paintings I did for Disney took 4 months to complete. Keep up the great work.

[@AlpayEfe]

Haha, yeah I would actually love to put that much time into a project! Maybe with another fanart piece… I love god of war but it’s not my favorite game or Ip. So there’s still room to 1up this 😉😁

[@c6s6s6]

@@AlpayEfe It is a real mental challenge to work on a piece that long. You begin to think you'll never finish it.

[@romanograsnick]

Großartig. I can understand your struggles and fear not as quite as I would like cuz I only paint small pictures. As I did murals for friends and family I was not that please about the result, but keeping pressing forward helped me. Keep up that awesome work!

Dude this is amazing. I'm not yet at the point of painting on this scale! This is stunning. Wow!! I can't wait until I am able to do this myself!! Way to go! I have something similar in mind.

I wish I had the money to buy this piece because I absolutely 💯 would.
