About
I’m Sumaiyah Arshad, a Senior Concept Artist with over 6 years in the gaming industry, specializing in character concept design, illustration, UI design, and environment/architectural design. I’ve collaborated with top-tier studios including Disney Interactive, Pocket Gems, Zynga, and 2K Games, contributing to AAA titles and Web3 blockchain games. I excel at multi-faceted concept art, establishing distinctive visual identities for characters, environments, and props.
In my current role at Revolving Games, I design mint-able assets for War of Nova, maintain visual fidelity, prototype new assets, and collaborate with producers and art directors to create faction-specific hard-surface and environmental assets. I also experiment with AI tools such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Leonardo AI to accelerate prototyping while preserving quality, integrating Generative AI outputs with traditional techniques to streamline production.
