Join us November 7th for Creating Cinematic Narrative Illustrations w/ Murat Gul ( @muratgul_art )

This workshop will focus on creating a cinematic dark fantasy illustration of a lonely giant who has made an abandoned stone tower his home. Although intimidating in appearance, the giant should feel quiet, reflective, and deeply isolated rather than aggressive. His only companions are ravens, dead trees, stone ruins, and the silence around him.

Murat intention is to demonstrate the complete process from the initial idea to the finished illustration.

📅 Saturday November 7th, 2026
⏰ 10:00am - 2:00pm PST
💰 $40

Murat is a freelance artist working profesionally as a Fantasy Ilustrator for various industries including games, music bands, fantasy books, caricatures and advertising. Murat has been featured on websites including DeviantArt, ArtStation, CgSociety.
