SIM SINGH – Lead/Senior Concept Artist & Illustrator

Illustration • Visual Development • Key Art • Environment & Character Design

As a Senior Concept Artist & Illustrator with 8+ years of experience in video games and television (including Marvel/Disney IPs and The Expanse), I specialize in translating high-level vision into compelling visual realities.

My expertise spans the entire production pipeline from establishing core look-and-feel, designing, modeling assets to crafting high impact key art for major marketing campaigns. Adaptable across a broad spectrum of art styles, I bridge the gap between creative vision and execution while maintaining visual consistency at scale.
