Hi, My name is Nassima Amir and I've been working as a concept artist (characters, creatures, props and environments) and illustrator for more than 5 years now with various clients such as Gameberry Labs, Wise Wizard Games, Uraga Ltd, Squeakosaurus, Unlimited Realms Ltd, and more. I work digitally using Photoshop, Blender and/or ZBrush, as well as traditionally with watercolors, gouache or acrylics. The graphic styles I master most are semi-realistic (think League of Legends, Elden Ring, Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons), anime/Manga (Shonen style, similar to, Dr. Stone or Attack on Titan, and Shojo style similar to Genshin Impact or CLAMP), and stylised (think Arcane, Blue-Eyed Samurai, Avatar the Last Airbender, Haliya, or Scott Pilgrim). Apart from those styles, I am also very flexible, and can easily adapt to any required style. I have worked on a lot of projects featuring diverse characters, and I really enjoy taking inspiration from various cultural backgrounds for my costumes and props. Please feel free to contact me regarding your options.
