Sanjeev K.
Lead 3D Character Artist | Rigging & Animation | Stylized / Realistic
I’m a Lead 3D Character Artist and Animator with 10+ years of game-production experience, specializing in characters, creatures, and complete game-ready pipelines for PC, web, console, and mobile games. I can take a character from 2D Concept and 3D Sculpting through Modeling, Texturing, Rigging, Animation, and Unity/Unreal integration - giving you one reliable production pipeline instead of coordinating multiple artists. Experience: I’ve worked with international game studios and clients including MuHa Games, Red Cross (ICRC) and Wargaming.net, creating production-ready characters, creatures, props, rigs, and animations. One of my largest productions was Master of Magic (web-based, open world game), where our team delivered 130+ heroes, enemies, and creatures along with 600+ game-ready animations across the base game and DLCs.
