Available to hire
I’m Dharmesh Sareriya, a 3D artist and art direction lead with 9 years of experience across CG films, TV series, VFX, and games. I’ve spent the last 5 years leading art direction and teams, shaping characters, props, and environments for high-profile international projects.
I’m passionate about mentoring teams, delivering creative visuals, and solving complex art pipelines with tools like Maya, ZBrush, 3Ds Max, Substance Painter, and Unreal. When I’m not modeling or tweaking look development, I enjoy exploring new techniques, traveling, and refining my craft.
