Hello dear friends. Just wanted to let you know that I was on a live TV show on a Turkish TV channel named Gercek TV which broadcasting through satellite. It was hosted by Senem Doner. She has a alot of great questions about 3D, my works and myself so it was a great chance to express my self with words this time instead of images. We talked a lot about the works I’ve done for David Arkenstone, Michael Gabriel and Karin Leitner and ohers such as awards and pres features. Also she showed my works on the TV and entire show was live. It was my first live TV experince and it was fun to do

Hello friends

Currently I’m working on an album cover illustration work for a Rap musician. Besides that I keep studying Maya with mostly Digital Tutors and Gnomon Workshop training kits. I have some training for Zbrush and Modo - will start to work on them soon too.

I can not post any visual samples from the cover artwork but I can post some screen shots from my studies. First two screen shots are from Digital Tutors trainings and last one from a personal attempt just for to test some new techniques I’ve learned.

Today on Myspace I added by a wonderful musician named Laila. That’s what I love about myspace - You can find wonderful artists there and sometimes wonderful artists can find you.

She wrote a small message - something like “I hope you enjoy my music…” but there’s no other option besides loving her music. Her voice is great, her songs are very melodic and evocative. I highly recommend that visit her official myspace page and have a listen.

Between her wonderful songs my favorites are Siae, Nana and Humbayaey.

Because of the endless rush of excitement working with David Arkenstone - I decided to write an article about how I worked on Myths & Legends project. I sent e-mails to the guys at the cg magazines I know and LiuFei kindly replied and told me he enjoyed what I’ve done on that project. So I put all the things I do together start writing the following article. Of course beautiful page designs done by the graphic artists of the CG Times Magazine. My goal here was showing my steps to the people who interesting this kind of work. Check the article pages here

I do know Miriam Stockley as the voice of Adiemus and I’m sure many people do too. She’s the one who giving life to the wonderful melodies of Karl Jenkins. Her African roots giving an amazing spirit and energy to her brilliant voice and these are enough to make her one of the most haunting female voices out there. Her solo album Miriam features fascinating melodies and a beautiful cover from Peter Gabriel called Mercy Street.

She’s surely inspiring me on my work. I’m creating images in my mind and on digital canvas with listening to her wonderful voice & melodies. And one day I decided to let her know about it. Sent her the links of the related images I’ve created with the inspiration of her music. And guess what happned - She kindly replied my message thorugh her official myspace account. Be sure about these people are kind, sweet and generous. And they are close to our hearts with thier existence as they are with their music.
