    uniE621 Character Unlock Poster – Dire Misconduct
    This poster was part of a university project for a psychological horror game concept titled Dire Misconduct. Designed entirely in Adobe Illustrator, it introduces a mysterious character players can unlock by finding the poster within the game’s city environment. The poster blends atmospheric storytelling with stark, silhouetted visuals to reflect the game’s dark and suspenseful tone. Each poster in the series was crafted to feel like a clue—hinting at backstories, setting the mood, and drawing players deeper into the narrative world.…
    uniE621 Baby at the Beach
    This freelance commission involved creating a heartfelt illustration of a baby at the beach. The artwork captures the innocence and wonder of childhood, with soft colors and gentle details that evoke a sense of calm and joy. Designed to convey warmth and nostalgia, this piece was tailored to the client’s vision for a personal and memorable image.…
    uniE621 Inktober Prompt: Foal
    This piece was created for the Inktober prompt ‘foal’—but instead of taking it literally, I went for a more unexpected, humorous twist. The illustration shows a duck and a chicken roasting a human over a campfire, flipping the usual roles in a surreal, slightly dark scene. It was a fun chance to play with irony, role reversal, and character expression while still keeping things light-hearted and stylised.…
    uniE621 Inktober Prompt: Armadillo
    This illustration was made for the Inktober prompt ‘armadillo.’ I drew a little armadillo curled up next to a campfire under a starry night sky, just enjoying a quiet moment. I wanted to create a calm, cozy vibe—something that feels warm and peaceful, like a quiet night out in nature.…
    uniE621 Inktober Prompt: Bat
    Created as part of the Inktober drawing challenge, this illustration was inspired by the prompt 'bat.' I took a playful approach by combining the animal and sporting meanings of the word—depicting a bat (the animal) playing cricket, holding a cricket bat mid-swing. The piece blends humour and wordplay with expressive character design, all illustrated digitally with attention to movement and personality.…
    uniE621 Arabic Alphabet Flashcards
    This project involved designing and illustrating a full set of Arabic alphabet flashcards, created to support early learners in developing foundational skills to read and write in Arabic. Each card was thoughtfully illustrated to represent the corresponding letter with engaging visuals that aid memory and recognition. The goal was to combine educational value with aesthetic appeal, resulting in a resource that's both effective for teaching and enjoyable for children to use.…
    paper Illustrated Educational Handbook
