About Me.
Hi! Here is Shiqi Zhang, and can also call me Cimy, came from China. I am currently an Illustrator based on Los Angeles.
I create key art, book illustrations, storybooks, covers, concept art, and character designs. I work with both digital and traditional media, including Photoshop, watercolor, and gouache.
I like building worlds around my characters and creating narrative illustrations. Many of my works focus on storytelling and imagined fantasy settings. Have previously collaborated with the metaverse game Infiblue World to design NFT artworks and took commissions for character illustrations.
Thanks for liking my illustration!
