Celāl Kandemiroğlu is a prolific artist who has produced artwork and in-game graphics for games software since the late 1980s. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Istanbul, Turkey in the 1970s and after graduating he offered comics he had worked on since childhood to the German Bastei Verlag in 1978. Until 1985 he predominantly made video/movie posters and covers and freelanced for magazines, but since 1988 has utilised computers for his artwork and predominantly worked on computer-related releases in Germany.
In the early 2000s, Kandemiroğlu gave up his freelance work following the bankruptcy of his secondhand motorbike company in Turkey to work full-time for Wings Simulations in Germany. He left them shortly before they went bankrupt in 2005 because of growing dissatisfaction with management problems. Currently, Kandemiroğlu works for Take-Two Interactive and resides in Cologne, Germany.
