Who???

Howdy Folks,
been sometime since I stopped here and posted some of my stuff. Been busy a lot lately (again)...
However Ive finished my first story for Moonstonebooks, and my editor liked the artwork a lot. He told me that he wants me to draw another book, but this time a entire oneshot (30 Pages or so).

Its not save to say wheter itll happen or not, but im already excited as it gets. Ive also been working on some Characterdesigns for some computercompanies to get a fulltime job. Its been fun having a break from sequential art and to try out enviroment drawings and characterdesigns. Ive learned more about working digitally and its been quite funny.

Here are some examples of what Ive been doing lately. Sadly I cannot upload my pages for the Moonstone gigs, but as soon as Ill get an ok Ill post em here:)

Enjoy the stuff:)

Thor about to beat an Ugly Demons Ass...Ill ink this piece digitally soon...I promise:)

My First Digital Inking

Pencils
Digital Inks without Background
Digital Inks with Background


So, Once again one of these days that I came home from Work and felt totally tired and exhausted, instead of going to sleep or do anything else that would help to recover a little bit, I started inking a sketch of the phantom that I did a week ago or so. The difference from all the stuff Ive ever posted before, is that I inked it digitally.

My Friend Tom Nachlik (please visit his homepage and tell him what a great artist he is, because thats what he is http://thomasnachlik.com/),gave me a few weeks ago his old wacom graphic tablet, because he bought himself a new one, and probably produces some new hot ass stuff(check his blog and youll know what im talking about).

I had never done any digital inks before. I tried my self on a few pieces before, but never finished them. this time i thought I SHOULD do it, just to see if I CAN do it.
Ive used a bunch of costumized brushes, some layers and voila there you go!

Ive done two versions of the piece, one with an abstract background and another one without any background. I like both. Im not satisfied with the piece, but I think its a good start...sometimes you have to crawl before you can walk.

Tell me what you guys think. Ill be working hard on some new pieces soon, i promise:)
Regards,
Sedat

let the sun shine, please!

Howdy Everybody,
first off all let me say thank you guys for checkin on my punisher pages and then let me apologize for not having posted anything on the blog lately. My lifes moving upside down lately a lot and it seems as if its going straight down instead of moving up, sadly. Im working a lot, ive lost a lot of weight and seem to have some health issues again.
However, on the bright side theres some good news too. Im working on a short story for Moonstone comics, after that they want me to work on another book (30 Page oneshot) and after that, who knows;)
Dont forget me guys, speak a prayer that things will turn a little bit better. I promise to post something new soon!
All the best wishes and apprecciations for checking my blog,
Sedat

The Punisher

So finally some new stuff,
I guess most of you were wondering where I have been to and what I was doing all that time...honestly, Ive been working, working hard, sadly not on my drawing skills but in my new Job in a Factory, I work three shifts, every week a new one and you probably cannot Imagine how terrible it is for my sleepinghabits. especially after the nightshifts...However, somehow I got to managae to draw a few Punisher pages. I tried this time to be a little more lose about the style and step into a more realistic way of drawing. I hope you all enjoy the artwork.

A new Chapter













So, finally its done, Ive finished my studies at the university for applied science of münster (department for design) and recieved my diploma, and finished the first chapter for my graphic novel about the kurdish hero, Sheikh Mirza. Within the last 3 weeks Ive been working day and night, to get the project done. It was the first time I had to pencil and ink this number of pages, and Ive learned that I am able to keep a deadline, and keep up quality with quantity. However, while I was working on this project Ive started using a crow quill, which to me was a experience of a lifetime. I think Ive learned a lot while i was working on this project and even if there shouldnt be any publishers being interested (which I dont hope), at least there will be a higher level of Skills ill be able to offer...
All the best wishes and from now on Ill be posting more regulary again, I promise:)
