I’m Merna Samir, a digital painter and concept artist based in Alexandria, Egypt. I love bringing stories to life through strong composition, thoughtful color choices, and clear visual development—especially in character design, background illustration, and lighting. My work is grounded in solid fundamentals of perspective and visual storytelling, and I’m comfortable turning ideas into polished concepts using Photoshop and Illustrator. I’ve also built skills through an ITI pre-master’s program in 2D animation and motion graphics, and I enjoy collaborating with teams, authors, and publishers—always aiming for clean, engaging results.…I’m Merna Samir, a digital painter and concept artist based in Alexandria, Egypt.
