Description Hi,
Today I proudly completed my first year on DA!
During last year (which is also the most exciting year of my life), I met lots of people, I had so many friends and I chased lots of talented atists. I won my first graphic tablet from Photoshop Magazin-----[link] (a famous local magazine), then again I won a Wacom Cintiq from Flipshake-----[link] !
Some of my works had chosen as daily deviations, I got lots of pageviews and I came up with so many good people. I hope I could be one of the little shiny gleams of the community. And it was a real pleasure for me to be here.

After one year which is full of sleepless nights, neverending studies and continuous hardwork; I tried to improve my talent. I'm not sure if I succeed and made some progress. I only know that, I really AM grateful to those who were with me. But forever and ever Kerem Beyit comes first! Without him, I had no inspiration to try becoming an illustrator, for sure. Thank you Kerem for the good attitude and encouraging.

And again, here is "Death of Sturm" (I killed him many times I know) for the anniversary. It was my first submission on DA, so I thought it would be nice to share a newer version of it. And I'm dedicating this to my beloved friend Jeff (also he is my first friend on DA)

Thank you for everything Jeff, your first welcome and your support during this year mean much to me.

Oh, and here is the older version------- [link]

Hope you like it.
Cheers
Ertaç

Ummm...I hate to nit-pick here, but Skie--Kellendros--Kit's mount, was a BLUE dragon, not white!

I hate to tell you this, but for God's sake, where did you see a "white dragon"?

Well, the color looks more like a gray-white than blue--course, that could just be the light.....also, the shape of the horns, usually the only way to tell the dragon species apart.Β  That's just me, but it looks more like a white wyrm than a blue one.

Incredible work!!! Actually I think I like this portrayal of the scene better than the one I always see on the internet. The other one is emotional but this one makes a very big impact! The details in this are way better too

only thing I can say about this piece, is ... I think the light source is wrong according to the book Kit was flying from the sun and Sturm was fighting the dragon with the sun behind the dragon, and his(view of the) Sun shattered... on his death. In this picture I think the sun is somewhere behind Sturm and to the right.

Haha but enough of that, this piece is more detailed than your first. I love the armor of Kit and that dragon's head. It was a memorable moment of that trilogy and I think you captured it here.

Thanks, but I think Kit is wearing a blue-yellow armor during that siege... So I drew this according to her suit as how I remembered.

It made me so sad when I read that scene... He died as he lived: with honour and bravery.

Great work.

Yes, it was so sad to see him dead. But this remained as it's one of the most dramatic scenes of the serie.
PS. Thanks for watching, I'll try to deserve that.
