Art Portfolio ONE: Project Statement

For my AP1 Project, I will create a short comic book with 4 to 6 pages inspired by Turkish mythology and culture, aimed at young adults.

The story follows a mystical and emotional journey. It begins with a character having a dream of  Wolf Asena, a creature that related to Gokturk  myths. The wolf warns of approaching shadow creatures that threaten the balance of the world. The main character wakes up to find that the dream was a call to action, as these shadowy figures begin to invade their village.

Guided by the Wolf, the character goes on a journey to restore balance and protect their home. The adventure leads them to a mysterious ancient gate, where they must face their fears and make a hard
decision to save their world.

I will use the Expressionism art style for this comic, emphasizing dramatic emotions, vibrant colors, and dynamic visuals to bring the story to life. Over six weeks, I will develop the narrative and characters through sketches and explore various artistic techniques.

First Thoughts

Expressionism feels close to me because it matches my creative style and ideas. The "Earthly Delights" style feels unrelated to my subject area, so I won’t use it. 

 I think Bauhaus is more suited for Architecture students because of its focus on design and structure. 

Mixed media art seems more connected to fine artists, which isn’t my field. That’s why I’ve decided to focus on Expressionism for my work.

Welcome to New Term of 2025!



Welcome to my blog in the new term of 2025! 

I feel this year will be more challenging than the first. During the one-month holiday before starting the second term, I began watching new anime series and playing choice-based games related to my major. I think my perspective is now a bit wider than it was last term.

The game I finished is called The Wolf Among Us, in this game we control the Wolf called Bigby, the sheriff of the Fabletown and we are trying to solve the Red Hood's murder. 



This story is related to a comic called The Fables. Its actually the classic child story characters as we all have familiar with, the wolf that we are controlling is the same wolf of the story in Little Red Riding Hood.




The character design and the choice of the style is taking me into the story.


The Comic Book style is so fitted the game.

The choices you make is so important in the game because if you make mistakes there is no turning back and that makes the story so special for each player.

Artist Research: Elif Aydın — Character Design Inspired by Turkish Mythology
