Arba'kh is a concept character. He is the clan leader and warrior. I plan to do more shots later on.
Base mesh was created in 3ds Max and then detailed in Zbrush. Later on I Poly painted and composited it in Photoshop.

Cricket revolution is a multiplayer cricket game for PC. I played the role of the Art Director, Lead Artist and Animator on the title.
It is an independent video game developed by Mindstorm Studios. And Mindstorm Studios became the first video game development house in Pakistan to have completed and launched a video game title successfully in this billion dollars market on their own.
The Project took off back in 2006 when I met Faraz Ahmed and Babar Ahmed (currently CEO of Mindstorm Studios) and joined hands because we shared the same vision and passion which was to set up and grow the video game development industry in Pakistan.
Here is some of the character artwork I did for the game.
All the Character Modeling, High resolution Sculpting, Rigging and Skinning was done by me.
The color map of uniforms was painted by a very talented texture artist, Mr. Nasar Ullah Khan here at Mindstorm Studios.
I will upload the Z Sculpts comparisons soon
Expressions...!!!

I’d like to share my first artwork with you which I worked on back in early 2005. It’s called ‘Exotic Beauty’ and it was specifically made for ballistic publishing’s book Exotique. The subject of the book was to publish the finest digital characters from artists worldwide.
