WHO AM I?
Hi! I'm Mert, also known professionally as "Pizza Mert" and known online as "Pizza".I'm a 22 years old artist and a fine arts student based in Turkey, who recently worked on variant covers for TMNT (2024) #19 (Cover D), Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coastal Chaos #1 (Cover C) and Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tear in Time #1 (Cover B) for IDW. Other than comic work, I've done collaboration artworks for NetEase.For a while now, I've been sharing my artwork primarily on Twitter (X) and Instagram, I mostly draw comic fanart apart from my professional art career. I usually create wholesome and humorous comic art.In addition to creating and illustrating short comics, I also participate in (and sometimes start) art trends, and share my ideas and headcanons about the media I'm passionate about.A major turning point in my art journey was my short fan-comic "A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man", which received significant attention and support online. Although it doesn't quite reflect my current portfolio and I've improved my art, since then I've continued creating comic related art & short comics, and I love what I do!To further develop my art, I recently dropped out of my Molecular Biology and Genetics major when I was about to enter my fourth year, passed the talent exam for the Faculty of Fine Arts, and am continuing my education there as my first year.

I use Clip Studio Paint EX as my primary drawing software.*
*For those curious about drawing software and interested in Clip Studio Paint: Even if you're a professional, the more affordable Pro version will suffice for 90% of your tasks. Personally, the only reason I bought the EX version is that I plan to work on multi-page projects (like comics or manga) in the future, and the EX version makes working across multiple pages easier. Personally, I don't think the price difference is worth it and I don't want to make people interested in drawing wonder, "What will I miss if I don't use the EX version?" ...Probably nothing.
(unofficial) Featured Works
I use Clip Studio Paint EX as my primary drawing software.My unofficial cover art (and similar) pieces usually take around 8–10 hours to complete, from sketch to final rendering.
All of the works included here [(Unofficial) Featured Works section] are unofficial works created with pure passion!
Most of the pieces included here are works I created after August 2025.
⚠︎ I DON'T use image-generating AI or any image-generating AI assistance in my artwork.
My biggest goal right now is to draw an official cover for The Amazing Spider-ManAs for my ultimate dream, if I can one day reach the financial and skill level it requires, I want to bring to life my original semi post apocalyptic universe, currently under the codename Free Bird, as a passion project comic book.It's a deeply character-focused universe that I’ve been building in my mind and through small sketches and stories for several years. I hope to bring it to life either on my own or with a team that I lead and work closely with.This is not from ego, but from a feeling deep in my heart: I truly believe that people will love and connect with the characters and stories of this universe as passionately as I do.On a more personal note, I'd also love to someday see these stories adapted into an animated series or film.
Hi! You can access most of my fan-comics, short comics and cover art pieces here.

Featured comic
A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the first comic I've ever created. As the title suggests, this comic features Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man as the main character, and revolves around a letter he writes to the reader. I first shared this fan-comic on Twitter back on August 20, 2025, where it was well received and appreciated by many people, including Joe Kelly: an award-winning American comic book writer, artist, and editor.You can easily access and read it from the section below! Also, if you're curious about what people think of this fan-comic, you can check out the original Twitter post where I first shared it, right here.

My most popular headcanon
I like the idea of Spider-Man's thwipping pose having this kind of meaning and I tried to apply this in one of my fan-comics
If Batman switches to a blue batsuit in The Batman 2, I'd love it to be for a reason like this.

-MY DREAMS-
This page is less of a portfolio and more like a personal goal board. To be less formal, they are/were all my dreams, big and small. I update this space to serve as a kind of archive. I hope everyone gets the chance to cross off their dreams as they come true. May this inspire others who live by holding fast to their own dreams.
