When artist and YouTuber Chloe Rose’s boyfriend asked her to paint on his PS5, she immediately choseGod of War, a game that her boyfriend loves, as her subject. She originally uploaded a longer video on her YouTube channel last December, and also uploaded a shortened version of the painting process on her Instagram page earlier this month. Both videos showed her sanding the surface of the PS5 panel, which horrified many console owners who saw it, to remove the glossy texture and create grip, so the paint wouldn’t melt off easily. She then began painting and sketching out the landscape and mountains fromGod of War. So far, Rose has only painted one side of the console, and has yet to update her followers on whether she worked on the other side or not.
On her YouTube video, Rose said that she got the PS5 as a Christmas gift for her significant other, and she was immediately asked to design the plain white exterior. She admitted that she was nervous about the project because of how clumsy she can be, but she promised to be gentle while painting on the expensive console. Especially sincethe PS5 was hard to find at the time.
Overall, Rose received praise from manyGod of Warfans and PS5 users who saw her work on YouTube and Instagram. Some expressed that they wanted to follow the artist’s lead in redesigning their consoles as well. In the past, other gamers showed their creativity in revamping their consoles, like thisPS5 that was made to look like the PS2.
Since the release ofGod of War Ragnarok, which marked the end of the Norse era, fans have been speculating on thenext mythological world that Kratos could explore. The likes of Aztec, Celtic, and Egyptian mythology have come up, but players will have to wait and see what Sony Santa Monica will have planned in the future.
