- ANNOUNCEMENT -
Coming this wednesday the 15th of March: the all-new Sevensheaven.nl website, featuring this blog along with much more! Be sure to check it out.

Sign of life

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I am more and more absorbed by assignments, but I will be back with my new weblog which will be a part of my all-new Sevensheaven website. The new Sevensheaven site will go online on the 15th of March and will mean the end of this Blogger weblog as it is. My new blog will exist of a custom weblog system.

Stay tuned, I'll be back soon. :)

Cheers,

Metin

The countdown has begun...!

The deadline has been determined: on the 15th of March the all-new Sevensheaven website will go online.

A tip of the iceberg: the site will be completely database-driven and will feature more of my work than has ever been published before.

I'm currently busy preparing a serious heap of imagery for the new site, from a library of about 18 years worth of work. I started working relatively young, skipping art education in order to learn from practical experience, and have never come to regret that decision. This doesn't mean that I don't encourage art education, it's was just a personal choice to enter this direction.

All the best,

Metin

The return of Skypeman

Skypeman is back, praising the Intel dualcore processor as the ideal processor to run the Skype software / service. :)

Enjoy your weekend,

Skypeman

My latest character concept: Skypeman, a character design based on the popular Skype digital telephony service, created to serve a magazine illustration.

Hope you like it. Check out Figure Farm for some more info about Skypeman.

Moon Child

From late 1995 to early 1997, programmer Reinier van Vliet, music composer Ramon Braumuller and I created the commercial 2D platform action game Moon Child for Windows 95/98. The exact same game is now available for the Pocket PC range. Be sure to check it out.

Here's the official Moon Child website, and more about the game and the adventures of the team behind it can be found over here.

Boing Boing

Created this image for the fabulous BoingBoing.net, regarding the new Google book search.

If you've got time to spare, here's a little interview with me at Creative Latitude (scroll down to find it).
