Inspiring Artists

Ertac Altinoz

 Ertac is a fantasy artist from Turkey, who designs most of his work for gaming companies and magazines. He creates alot of personal art along with his work as well. His work is very detailed though with a bit of cartoony/fantasy elements. He gains his insipiration from his surrounding environment, and living in the country alot of his work has some natural elements.

  Hanging Gardens of Babylon - A personal favourite, where his inspiration from the country and nature really show. I like how he has re-imagined the ancient city of Babylon. 


 Agent In Action  - Sci Fi action piece where you can really see the cartoony side of Ertac's work. With slightly over the top proportions.


 Flint - One of his many fantasy artworks, possibly inspired by his interests in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I like the detail in the amor and the axe, and the fiery background brings out his angry expression.


Mirza - Gathers elements from old Turkic Warriors (pre-Ottoman). Some artwork for a current game.


Slam - A clash of fantasy, with little idea of what is really happening. The colours are all different and don't got together at all, which brings out each individual character in the scene. 


Yek-Han - Showing a 'Khan like' figure in a battlefield of bodies, the body language shows dominance among the rest. I think that the fiery setting below reveals bad intent. This is a piece of artwork for an end game piece for "Erlikhan".
