I’m Ehsan Yazdani, a concept artist and visual storyteller driven by the thrill of building immersive worlds and unforgettable characters. With a background in illustration and years of experience across video games and animation, I specialize in creating atmospheric environments and cinematic designs that feel lived-in, emotional, and real. My work combines traditional artistry with digital tools like Photoshop, Blender, and ZBrush, blending strong visual storytelling with detailed textures, lighting, and design. Whether it’s a haunting character portrait or a sweeping dystopian landscape, my goal is always the same: to create visuals that spark imagination and leave a lasting impact. I’ve collaborated with international studios, contributed to both indie and larger-scale productions, and continue to push the limits of visual narrative through freelance projects and personal work. I’m currently expanding my portfolio with new IPs that explore themes of identity, decay, and transformation, fueled by a deep love for games, cinema, and mythology. Thanks for stopping by, if you’re looking to collaborate or just explore some art that tells a story, you’re in the right place.
