Since I was little, I got a special connection with movies like toy story, which filled my imagination, with wonder.

Since I was little I knew that I wanted to do something creative with my life. I've been studying different softwares, techniques and fields since I was 13 years old. I finally decided that being 3d environment game artist is what I want to do.

I first decided I wanted to work in a creative medium when I was 8, learning music at first. I then decided to focus on art in Secondary School and haven't looked back. Art and the creative industry has challenged me more by making me learn new skills and keep up with technological advancements and other people learning at the same time as me.

when i started working on my projects

I realised that I wanted to work in the games industry specifically in 2014, so a while ago hahahah. But if I recall correctly it was when I first played Minecraft and was fascinated by it.

I first realised I wanted to work in a creative industry when I was still in primary school I loved animation and the characters within the shows and thought I want to do that. since then I've worked hard art lerning anatomy and how to create characters.

In year 7. My passion for the creative industry started when I started my first graphics lesson in year 7. I loved the use of software and I just began to gain a lot of interest in the variety of different outcomes of work. As years went past, I grew an interest in a more specific field in the industry which was Digital art, animation and 3D design. This includes both games, movies as well as tv. I am now studying Games Art at Coventry University and looking to start my career as a 3D Artist.

Video games have always been my favourite constant in life. There were never any limits to the stories that could be told or the worlds that could be explored and as a child, escapism at the click of a button was the greatest power I thought a person could ever possess. As a medium, it grows with you, and like many others, I never grew out of it. The day that I realised I could not only continue to enjoy these worlds but to help others escape to their own, too? That was a gamechanger.

My passion for concept art comes from animated films, games and comic books. My main interest is sci-fi themed concept art, always grounded in reality, yet still creative. By creating figures, objects, and characters that could exist within their fantasy world, it shows a clear understanding of how something would look if it were real.

I first realised I wanted to work in the creative media industry I would spend my time during classes sketching, illustrating, designing and inventing things whilst I was supposed to be giving my full attention to teachers of subjects unrelated to my interests. However, I was still a good student absorbing the information around me whilst focusing on my own interests.

Ever since GCSEs I always wanted to work in creative industries but when I had to pick my Alevels that's when I realised, that this is the only road I want to take. For my Alevels, I picked Graphics, Fine art, Photography and Punjabi. After my A levels, I was confused about which way to go so I decided to do a Foundation course in Art and that's when I knew that I want to study Games Art.

What made me passionate about it is when I was younger and I was trying to figure out what career should I pursuit, I saw a VFX breakdown video of “Game of Thrones” that was the moment when I realized that If I choose to do that for a living, it would feel like cheating, because I would actually enjoy working.
