I grew up in a family with deep roots in various forms of fine arts such as painting, miniature and illustration, sculpture, fashion, and media arts, therefore I had the chance to develop my creativity and imagination as a valuable authority from which I benefit to actualize my artistic ideas.
Throughout the years of my career, I have had the opportunity to gain problem-solving, responsibility and communication skills by confronting complications, unexpected occurrences and challenges. Successfully, I had been maintaining the affinity and motivation of the team as a leader that led to better outcomes in projects. Immigration has presented another exceptional chance to me to be able to examine and improve my compatibility with new people, new culture, and new workplace environments.

More about me
3D Modeling
Since 2006, I have started learning design software, especially Corel Draw and Photoshop. My constant interest in animation and video games, especially my enthusiasm for character design and modeling, led me to start learning ZBrush, 3dsMax, and Maya with their possibility to reach excellent final works such as XGen, Arnold, VRay. At the same time, I became self-taught and followed the workflow of leading artists in the industry, thus I became acquainted with the professional production pipeline and the accurate stages of UV, texturing to deliver excellent material and shading for render of my works with UVLayout, Substance Painter and Designer and Mari. Recently, I took a step forward and started learning Marvelous Designer to get the best out of my concepts.
Sculpture
Dr.Jafar Najibi played a major role in my life, as a wonderful sculpturing mentor. Making sculptures with different materials as well as learning the basics of converting a design into a 3D model are the main achievements that I will always treasure.
Drawing
As a kid, I was always surrounded by art atmosphere, thanks to my parents who were both engaged in art. Hence, my enthusiasm was developed greatly for sketching and drawing. My parents encouraged me and allowed me to benefit from excellent art mentors and learn the basics of design and drawing. Therefore, I achieved considerable progress over the years as I grew up. My passion for character design made me get experience in a new field and learn Digital Painting from Reza Abbasimoghaddam in Tehran, Iran. Besides, I started developing my innovation by creating character concepts primarily with two main techniques such as random silhouette creation and collage from Kamal Tabatabaie. Additionally, Hoda Karimi and Morteza Yazdani were the great instructors who taught me how to study human and animal anatomy precisely. I believe that the combination of my background in art is a great asset that helps me to achieve my purposes.
MY STORY BEGINS HERE:
Portrait
Sculpted in Zbrush using GeoHD, retopologized and modeled in Maya. Final texture and shading are executed in Arnold.
Defined accurate details in XYZ remaining loyal to the main reference. Used XGen for Grooming employing density and area maps. The polycount restricted below one hundred thousand on level 2 subdivision.
All maps are hand-painted in ZBrush, used as UDIM UV-maps inserted in aiStandard as skin main shader. Displayed one of brushes created in Zbrush to develope and optimize expected details.
Eye set blocked out in Maya and Zbrsuh in three different parts including Eyeball,Iris and Caruncle, subsequently finilized with Photoshop and Marmoset.
Character design and modeling
Cyber Girl: the idea has somewhat borrowed from the very trendy and charming game "Cyberpunk 2077"
The character is completed inculds 65K tris
Hair Cards generated by XGen interactive grooming, Arnold and Photoshop
Semi Mecha Girl has a sci-fi handgun instead of her right hand, which has a grenade launcher.
Creepevil: Based on a character design for a kickstarter game
Material and texture generated by Adobe Subsatance set
Scuplted in Zbrush
Color maps created for creature's skin,eyes and hair plus the color map for the weapon
Bumpy Clown: This clown was illustrated and then created with the technique of random silhouette. I decided to turn it into a 3D character as a challenging model, especially because of its curly hair, in which I used Ornatrix instead of XGen this time.

Hard sureface Modelling
BuboX Robot: A recreation of an old concept design. I was inspired by the charisma and glory of the Bubo Owl. This project was developed by the knowledge of design, materialize, and lighting of hard surfaces using ZBrush and Maya to compose a blackout and retopology the mesh to reach a perfect optimization, which made it prepared for UV. The texturing and render set has proceeded with the help of Substance painter and Marmoset.

Marvelous Designer Art
To create the texture of this bishop sleeve dress, I borrow the needlework as a pattern. That art piece generated by Baloch blind needlewoman Mahtab Norouzi for a brilliant design of Shahbanu Farah Pahlavi's dress.

Halifax's famous Clock Tower
The design of this environment set is inspired by the Citadel Clock Tower located close to the Citadel Castel in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This castle is a historical military defense structure with fortifications rebuilt in the past to defend the town from various enemies. Therefore, I have chosen an old Arsenal as a symbol appended to my environment set.

Grasping the basic principles and concepts of design is widely important. I have the knowledge of applying various perspectives, compositions, lights, and shadings to the drawings that can pave my way for creating the characters.

My works in Digital painting
It has been the honor of my life to be in the presence of Dr. Jafar Najibi, one of the most respected and famous sculptors in Iran, for more than two years to develop my innovation and knowledge in sculpturing with different materials such as clay, metal, and gyps.
I build these prototype maquettes in order to participate in the international sculpture symposium in Tabriz, Iran in 2016.
