A piece i made for a contest held by the foundation of fantasy and science fiction, in Turkey. It's themed after Sezgin Burak's old comic series "Tarkan".
I wanted to portray Tarkan and his companion, Wolf (that's its name ) in a good old retro way with this composition and pallette. He's kind of a Hunnic "Conan" but more of a hero than a rogue. There's this a-must-have beauty in it as well. I just like this stuff
There are several movies shot back in 70's after comics. This piece was inspired from the story "Viking Blood". The octopus on rocks is a little parody of the giant octopus-monster in the movie (could be the Kraken? i don't know.)
A friend told me northern skies don't have such clouds. I don't know if there are such mossy rocks or octopuses there either. I'm also aware that longboats should suck, i did no search at all. The movie was shot here in southern coast of Turkey so I'd better recall what i watched. (and tbh i don't care much )
TL;DR : Hope you enjoy viewing it as much as i had in painting it.
güzel olmuş ellerinize sağlık. yanlız sormadan edemeyeceğim. nasıl çıkmış oraya eleman taş merdiven gibi bir şey yada birbirine yakın kayalar çizseymişsin çok daha akla yatkın olurmuş.
I'm busy with everything else lately..
When will you find out the results of the contest? I hope you win~ <3
I'll learn about it in april -.- but oh well, i applied for the fun of it (Tarkan fans
Dürüstçe söyleyeyim, dikkat etmedim. Gözden kaçıyor
