Hey to all ,
my name is Tariq and I am a Digital illustrator/Artist currently working and living in Melbourne ,Australia. I have over ten years of freelance and production house experience ranging from, computer game development, film & TV production and music video & TVC (Television Commercial ) production.
I have recently been showcased in Spectrum 12 as one of the years best for the November 2004 cover issue of Heavy Metal Magazine. I am also the recipient of a 'CG Choice Award' from the world's largest Digital Art forum, CG Talk.
My work combines a heavy influence of figurative and textural photography and my Fantasy Pin ups are known for their photorealistic elements. I use a combination of Traditional Art, mixed heavily with a Digital finish, using softweare such as Painter IX and Photoshop CS in conjunction with my Wacom (Intuos) Tablet.
I am here to showcase my Digital Art , photomanipulations and art and hope to meet some eager people who would be excited to share in my visions.
I will work with anyone who is willing to add some diversity to their portfolios. If you are interested in working with me, please drop me a line at:
