Aiman Akhtar - Black Lives Matter

ARTivist Statement:
I consider myelf an empathic person, I can't see others suffering and not be deeply affected by it... This past summer with COVID-19 on the rise and protests demanding justice for George Floyd, I felt compelled to create a piece to stand in solidarity with the BLM movement, and unequivocally condemn police brutality.

Bio: Hi, my name is Aiman Akhtar and I'm a senior 3D artist and producer, specialized in developing stylized characters for animation, toys and games. After 6 years of working as a 3D generalist at various advertising studios in Chicago for commercial brands including Harley-Davidson, McDonald's and Hotels.com, I left to pursue a career in entertainment design in Los Angeles and have since worked for vfx, animation and game companies on projects for Disney, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Blizzard, 3Blackdot, Aaron Sims Creative, Alliance Studios, Method, Psyop, Proof, Stoopid Buddy, and Sky Castle Studios.

I'm also the founder of my own 3D development company, 3D Smiths LLC, and developing my own children's IP, Fungisaurs, as well as resident 3D print expert at Mold3D Academy, where I teach 3D Printing for ZBrush Artists and I share tutorials on my projects as an official streamer for ZBrush Live.
