CHARACTER DESIGN & VISUAL DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO

MODERN DAY CLOWNERY

ANKA: ASHES of ANATOLIA

A personal project inspired by post-apocalyptic media such as Fallout: New Vegas and Mad Max.In a post-apocalyptic Anatolia, a band of robotic-enhanced merchant bandits braves the wasteland to reach the tech-capital of Istanbul. Navigating treacherous landscapes and hostile factions, they seek to trade rare goods for the technology that could ensure their survival—unaware of the city's hidden secrets that could change everything.

ANIMATION

Hi! I'm Naz!

got inquiries?

I am a character designer and visual development artist who has recently graduated from the BA (Hons) Animation course at Arts University Bournemouth.My passion lies in the exploratory stages of character and visual development. I enjoy incorporating background research with experimentation to explore different silhouettes, designs, and colours to create characters and worlds that are unique and appealing.
 
When I'm not drawing I like studying circus history, rollerskating and learning languages!
