This is the latest matte painting for my personal portfolio. This is a fictional city which has Roman and ancient Egyptian influence. Arcus means archway in latin (pls correct me if I'm wrong)

The overall story is; there is a an ancient structure looks like a collosal bridge.It's unknown that who built it and who lived in it. But this bridge was a city itself, with narrow corridors, archways. But it's ancient and now deserted. A new civilization built their cities near this bridge structure and also discovered it's ancient halls. Maybe they use it for food and weapon stock, or maybe homeless use it for shelter. Anyway this is the overall atmosphere I created in this painting. Any c&c are welcome, I hope you like it..

P.S.: Thanks to my beautiful girlfriend for lift idea. Yeah I really wouldn't walk all the way to the top of the city really

Last year in these days we were counting days for Star Wars: Episode III. To comemorate that exciting days I wanted to create a Star Wars painting. I chose an era of the Old Republic.Thousands of years before Episode I.

This painting show a great army of Sith lords gathering for war.Originally They used to have steel swords enchanted by the dark side of the force but I did a lightsaber for more "starwars" look.That is my choice

When creating the landscapes I was inspired by Cappadocia region here in Turkey.It's a beautiful place with similar landscape and somehow it has a sci fi look.I'll attach some photos later.

I was also inspired by the great paintings by Sergey Skachkov. ( http://atris.cgsociety.org )

I first started to paint in Photoshop then added details in Painter. All color corrections,glows,fog and other effects etc. created in Photoshop. As a young art enthusiast like me(20) your comments and critics are important to me and welcome as always.I hope you like it]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 11:03:03 +0000 http://velarion.cgsociety.org/gallery/348140

This is an artwork for my personal portfolio. I am always amazed by the great battle fought for capturing Istanbul. As a boy living in Istanbul it was very fun to do this painting.
The landscape was painted in Painter. Sky, the sultan, most of the buildings were painted in Photoshop. Some key buildings like Hagia Sophia and Galata Tower, I used photograph reference. I made the sea in Terragen. And all the stuff composited & color corrected in Photoshop.
Made in working 4-5 hours in 3 nights.
Any comments and critics are welcome as always, I hope you like it!]]> Thu, 20 Apr 2006 10:51:20 +0000
