About Me.
Hi! Here is Shiqi Zhang, and can also call me Cimy, came from China. I am currently a senior Illustration student at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco.
I create character illustrations, book illustrations, 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 take independent commissions for character illustrations.
Thanks for liking my illustration!
