Hello! My name is Saida, you guys can call me Sai. I was born in RI but lived half of my life in my parent’s native country, Kyrgyzstan. I lived in the capital city, Bishkek.

When I was little I wasn’t able to talk till the age of six, and just in general I had a hard time expressing my feelings. At some point I saw a girl in my kindergarten class draw and since meeting her art became my thing.

My goal is to become a character concept designer because sketching and drawing out ideas is my favorite part when it comes to drawing.

Almost my whole life I always drew with paper and pencils, I am actually a major collector of mechanical pencils and have about 20-ish now, if you will ask me about my collection I will happily show and talk about each pencil’s feature :D. I only recently started drawing on digital, I started in freshman year. So far I really like using Photoshop.

I am not too big of a fan of programming since it is a bit difficult for me to comprehend but I was a CS major in my freshman year, but now as a senior I am an IMGD BA major and a CS minor.

Probably my biggest inspirations right now are shows like Arcane ( REALLY excited for the new season ) and the Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse . More shows that I have been watching are Hunter x Hunter, JoJo Bizarre Adventures, and The Legend of Vox Machina. I have followed so many artists who worked on these project shows/films.

This is my latest composition I illustrated where I took a Concept Art class and had so much fun!

Hope y’all liked my artwork and have a good day!!
