Hi,
I'm Erkan, at some point in my life as a youngster, I felt being a mechanic wasn't the right path for me. So I swapped wrenches for brushes, made it through art school, and now, with over a decade in the entertainment industry, I've been crafting visuals for all kinds of mediums with the main focus on Games and Animation. Here is a Speed run of my Story or just keep scrolling down and check my work. Oh, and by the way, I'm still looking for that thing which people call personal style. If you happen to spot mine, let me know where it's hiding.
Thank you for visiting!

SKETCHBOOK
The main reason why I started art in the first place, sketching is fun!
Speed run of my story
I’m a visual artist with over 14 years of experience creating stories and worlds through art. I live in Augsburg, Germany, with my lovely wife and kids. I started out as a mechanic but my passion for drawing and storytelling eventually won out and my art journey begun more seriously. A few years and a ton of pencils later, I graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna with a Master's degree in Fine Arts, where I honed my skills as a traditional painter.
Even while I was still studying, the little kid in me who loved imagining fantastic places found his way into casual and mobile games as a 2D artist, painting colorful backgrounds and characters. Thankfully, from there my path led to visual development and concept art for the CG animated Show Talking Tom & Friends where I worked for the next 3 years as a concept artist, matte painter and color key artist. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work full time in game development studios for different kind of long term projects contributing to worldbuilding, environment and character design, and storytelling, taking on roles as a Concept Artist, Lead Artist, and Art Director. These experiences helped me to gain a better understanding of the creative and technical aspects of game development while allowing me to grow and gain experience in studio workflows and production pipelines. In addition to production work I've spend a good portion of my career for different kinds of projects including the fields of Animation, Board games, Storyboarding and as an Art instructor.
Whether it's doodles, detailed designs or illustrations, I'm all about transforming ideas into visual stories and solving problems. Every project starts with a spark of imagination. If you're seeking a skilled hand to help, shape your ideas into reality, Shoot me a message !
