I am a concept artist from Pakistan, Born and raised in Saudia Arabia. American animated movies, tv shows, and video games had a huge impact on me. I have always been curious about the art behind animation and games. In my early school days 'behind the scenes' featurettes were my only source of learning. Working for Disney became my motivation and I kept doing art on my own. After moving to Pakistan learning became more difficult for me, we did not have any careers in animation in my country. Due to a lack of career opportunities, I had to choose business management after college. My dream of going to Disney felt like an unachievable goal. My learning path got back on track after the internet became affordable. I got my first job as a graphics designer for a software house during my studies. I left my studies and got to know that there are a few companies working on animations. I got into a local animation studio called 'sharp image' where I became the head of the art department, trained artists, and worked on a lot of animation projects. I have been working for almost 20+ years. During these years I have worked with different studios. Started my own concept art studio 'Ninjastrokes'. That lead me to get an animated movie project. (The Donkey King by Talisman Studios). I recently worked as a background artist on an anime produced in Pakistan called 'The Glass Worker' by Mano Studios. My favorite genres are science fiction and future-noir but I do not limit myself to it and I think my greatest ability is to adapt to the genre I am working on. I have been interested in the art behind animation and video games since childhood. I developed a strong imagination because of translating pixelated graphics of classic games into Illustrated fan art in the form of scenes. I love creating key scenes with characters and the environments around them. Which is why I can contribute to a wide range of productions. My Skills are best applicable in the following areas. 1. Storyboards 2. Pre-Visualization/Look Development 3. Character Design 4. Environment Design 5. Props and Vehicle Design 6. Key-Moment Visualization 7. Zbrush Sculpting 8. Texturing and Surface detailing 9. Set Extensions/Matte-paintings 10. Promotional Materials/Marketing art As a skilled professional with a total of 20 years of experience developing and executing a wide variety of pre-production and concept design for different projects. But I believe that my potential is not being utilized in my local industry. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make my portfolio more interesting. I want to work with the best people in the world and learn from them.
