Hello! I am SM Zulqurnain or Syed Zulqurnain or suyedo, and I am known by many names. However, you can just call me Syed. Welcome to my world where I share my passions and experiences. I am a curious soul, always looking for new knowledge and adventures. I love to explore other cultures. Although I am not a talkative person, I enjoy conversation very much.
I have a wide range of interests, including digital art, technology, and creative trends. These areas intersect and influence each other, giving me a well-rounded perspective on life. My journey into digital art began in 2010 when I became curious about what a BMW and Nissan car might look like in the Grand Theft Auto game series. So I started searching for it and learned some new tools, new experiences and a new world. Here I learned Adobe Photoshop, zModeler and UV layout, as well as some coding in HTML, CSS and 3D.
I am also known as Hammer-and-Nail86 on deviantART, where I share all my freebies for Windows tweaks, like system monitoring skins, Rainmeter, Windows Orb, wallpapers, trunk animation porting for mobile devices, custom cursors, icons and posters from my favs in school.
Professionally, I have a background in pre-production, production, and post-production, starting as a crew runner and working my way up to motion graphic design / digital compositor. This has given me valuable insight and skills and shaped my solution-oriented mindset.
In 2018, I started learning new software like Cinema 4D for my first 3D animation work for the Alha Alfa Dinner Awards. There I created the opening video and trophy for the winners. And I continue the journey with Corona Render to create some photorealistic works for the automotive industry.
in 2019, my real journey is as a digital compositor with Adobe After Effects and Mocha at one of the first post-production providers in Malaysia, and the journey continues.
Creativity is an important part of my life. Be it designing, animating or experimenting. I find comfort and fulfillment in creative expression. I hope to encourage others to embark on their own creative journey. Just so you know, creativity is infinite.
