Cigerci - Street Food Vendor Challenge

sketchfab

Hi everyone! This is my entry for Street Food Vendor challenge. I'm excited to share this ciğerci vehicle with you all. Ciğer means "Liver" in Turkish and is extremely popular amongst Turkish people who just can't get enough of it. We adore it a lot! There's a vendor in Ankara who has been selling it for about 30 years, and he's famous for his liver food. I'm inspired by this vehicle, which reminds me of him every time I see him on the streets of Tunalı Hilmi Street (in Ankara). When I eat his famous food, I feel so happy. Kokorec and ciğer are the most consumed offals by Turkish people, making them instantly come to mind. As an Ankaran, I felt it was only right to pay my respects to Ciğerci Naci, the Famous Liver Vendor. Sorry it took too long to get this done - my main idea was to create a kokorecci vendor model (kokorec is made of lamb guts), but unfortunately, someone else came up with that idea first. So I had to switch gears and come up with something new. I missed the deadline by one hour (I was off by just one minute, but uploading textures and other stuff took longer than expected). I hope you enjoy this entry despite a few texture errors under the vehicle - it crashed at the last second due to time constraints. Sorry again for that!
