Hi, I'm Kutlwano Ndlovu, a concept artist, illustrator and digital designer based in Midrand, South Africa. I intern at AlphaV FX, a post-production studio, where I help with visual development for the 3D team and character concept art for projects the studio takes on from independent clients. I’ve trained at SAE Institute, Vega School and Vancouver Film School, shaping my ability to create prop, environment, character and vehicle concepts and to contribute to a design pipeline with teamwork and tight feedback loops. My current focus is character, environment and prop concept art for indie animation projects. I’ve worked on projects like ShakaImbele and Netflix titles such as Pathaan and Quantum Leap, bringing ideas from ideation to finished visuals. I love painting, sketching, editing and 3D modelling, and I enjoy collaborating with others to craft cohesive visual stories.
