ABOUT / ABDULMALIK BUKHARI
An eye for stories.
A mind for making.
SAUDI ARTIST · BASED IN RIYADH
Hi, I’m Abdulmalik.
I’m a 3D animator, character artist, and filmmaker. I graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in 3D Animation in 2026 and am now based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
My work moves between stylized character modeling, animated films, and gameplay animation. I enjoy the full journey of a character: finding its shape, exploring its personality, and bringing it into motion.
My experience includes character modeling at UPG and animation and previsualization at BlackMist VFX. Alongside that work, I’ve developed animated shorts including Midnight Snack and Curse of the Ring.
