Hire the Best Sequential Art Specialists

Hi, I’m Kadir. I’ve been working as a comic book artist and storyboard artist for over 10 years. My style comes from the classic American comic book tradition, the kind of strong visual storytelling you see in Marvel and DC books. I focus on dynamic characters, solid anatomy, dramatic lighting, and clear cinematic panel flow. For me, it’s not just about drawing something that looks good, it’s about translating a script into visuals that actually work for production. I’ve created hundreds of storyboard panels and character designs for films and international projects, including high budget productions. I understand deadlines, revisions, and the practical side of working with directors and creative teams. If you need storyboards to pitch a scene, concept art to shape your world, or fully inked comic pages, I’ll approach your project with both artistic care and professional discipline. I draw everything by hand and do not use generative AI in my workflow. If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out and tell me about your project. Best Regards. Kadir Cive

Alongside environment work for games and animation, I create illustrations for narrative and mood-driven projects such as tarot decks, editorial and podcast artwork, album covers, and personal commissions.
