Ng Shi Kian goes by the name Kian02 in his character designs. A graduate from Digital Media Design at Nanyang Polytechnic, Shi Kian encourages fresh graduates to work fulltime before fully going into showcasing one’s personal works. For him, working as a Concept Artist and creating characters and designing states for a 3D environment has benefitted and build on his knowledge garnered from school.

Liking to merge Western and Eastern influences in his fantasy drawings, Shi Kian suggests sharing ideas with peer interest groups forged over school terms. In sharing, he believes this cycle of “inspiring others and thus inspiring yourself” never stops.
