CHARACTER DESIGN
CHARACTER DESIGNThis character design reimagines Spider-Man with bold, vibrant colours and a fresh, dynamic style.
CHARACTER DESIGNMy artistic approach primarily emphasizes an anime-inspired aesthetic along with a gaming art style. Some of my key inspirations include Studio Investigrave and various anime works. I pay significant attention to detail, particularly in shading and lighting. While studying at UTHM, I also pushed my boundaries by experimenting with brighter colors to create a vibrant, pop-like effect in my art.

CHARACTER DESIGNI created these character designs for a project that served as my final assignment in the first year of my studies!#Gasing Boy This is the story of a boy named Kamarul Ahmad, who lives in the city, along with his siblings, Farah and Adam, and their beloved Atok. While modern technologies are often seen as the primary source of entertainment, traditional toys in Malaysia once held great popularity. Atok is determined to show Kamarul that spending time with family while playing Gasing can be just as enjoyable. CHARACTER DESIGN FOR PROJECT
CHARACTER DESIGNCHARACTER DESIGN FOR PROJECTThese characters are inspired by a book created by my lecturer. For this project, I was assigned the task of bringing them to life through a short animatic.This narrative revolves around Independence Day, highlighting how history seems to repeat itself. The powerful elite are willing to sell out their country for a quick profit, and tragically, no one recognizes this betrayal until it is far too late.
CHARACTER DESIGNMy Hero Project In this project, we were assigned the theme “My Hero.” My response to this prompt is, “Artists are heroes too.” This piece explores how artists, singers, and celebrities—regardless of their fame—provide hope to people through their melodies and poetic lyrics. While many parents and adults consider the dream of becoming an artist to be unrealistic, this small artist, Amy, embraced it as a challenge.
ActionI will continue improving my character anatomy, background design, animation skills and industry- standard software knowledge. I also plan to produce more original projects and update my portfolio regularly. POST- PRODUCTION Solution REFLECTION FF II NN AA LL F I N A L REFFERENCESCC OO NN CC LL UU TT II OO NN C O N C L U T I O NThe chosen artworks underwent a meticulous process involving color adjustment, lighting enhancement, clean-up, rendering, and layout editing. Each project was organized uniformly to ensure a polished and professional portfolio presentation.I enhanced my skills in anatomy, composition, color, and visual consistency by utilizing references, assessing each phase of my work, and incorporating feedback from both lecturers and peers. This portfolio reflects my growth in character design, illustration and visual storytelling. Each project helped me develop stronger technical skills, creative confidence and a clearer artistic identity.
