Commissions
Historical content that is researched properly and looks the part: films, maps, illustrations, scripts and talks about the Turkic peoples and the steppe, in English, Turkish and German.
What I make
Maps and reconstructions
Historical maps, animated map sequences and reconstructed faces, clothing and settlements of the ancient Turkic peoples.
Illustration and manga
Character design, panels and finished manga pages in one consistent style, from a single plate to a series.
Scripts and story consulting
Treatments, scripts and story development for films, games and novels set in the Göktürk era and the steppe world.
Historical consulting
Fact-checking for productions: titles, names, material culture, chronology and what the sources actually say.
Talks and workshops
Lectures and workshops for museums, schools, cultural associations and conferences, in three languages.

How I use AI
Reconstructions, film scenes and illustrations are made with AI image and video tools and with Blender. I direct them on the basis of the sources: what appears on screen follows what the sources allow, and where they are silent, that is said openly. Books, scripts and the research behind them are written by me.
Whether AI tools are used on your project is agreed in the briefing, and on request I document the methods used. The historical decisions stay with me either way.

Questions
Can I see samples first?
Yes. The main page shows finished work, and on request I send a short showreel of commissioned clips.
Which languages do you deliver in?
English, Turkish and German.
Do you sign an NDA?
On request, yes, before the briefing.
How reliable is the history?
Claims are tied to named sources. Where the sources disagree or are silent, I say so instead of smoothing it over.
Are you open to other historical content aside from Turkic and Steppe peoples?
At the moment, no. Perhaps in the future.
