Sammy Khalid, known online as Chigg, is a concept designer, illustrator, and NFT artist. Born to a Sudanese father and Filipino mother, he spent his early childhood in the Philippines but grew up in Dublin, Ireland. Chigg originally studied computer science with the goal of becoming a software engineer but this didn’t fuel his passion for drawing and painting. Later, he was able to pursue a career that married elements of his interests together with his tech savviness. Most of Chiggs work involves designing characters, sets, vehicles, and props, for film, TV, and animation, utilizing both 2D and 3D approaches.
With a broad range of interests and a fervor for learning new skills, Chigg views his creative process as an evolution. He sees drawing, painting, and design as a visual representation of the work that you invest, what you’ve learned, and how well you understand the world around you. Chigg has worked for clients around the world including Warner Bros, Disney, Riot Games, and Netflix, and across titles such as Black Mirror, War of the Worlds series, and Artemis Fowl.
