Ren Zhi Lim

Diploma in Concept Art & Entertainment Design, 2025

“One of the best things about learning here is that when you make a mistake, or if there’s something that you can improve, you get immediate and personalised feedback. After coming here, I now know the checklist of things to improve my art, especially my skills in rendering.”

Kan Rongrueangkul

Diploma in Concept Art & Entertainment Design, 2025

“Not only do I have stronger fundamental skills, which are super important, but my design skills have also improved. I never imagined I’d be able to create the kinds of designs required by the briefs, but now I feel this the area where I’ve made the most progress, especially in terms of drawing.”

Min Khant Myo

Diploma in Concept Art & Entertainment Design, 2025

“When I used to look at professional art, the quality and finishing would be so good, and I wouldn’t know how to reach that level. Through the workflow we’ve learned here, I now believe it’s really achievable. One of my biggest improvements is gaining the ability to create artwork I never thought I could.”

John Long

Diploma in Concept Art & Entertainment Design, 2025

“I always dreamed of doing concept art—full renders, paintings—but I had no idea where to start, so I just didn’t. Then I found MAGES and thought, “Wow, this is the starting line.” Now when I look back at my old work, I realise I’m so much further down the road from where I was at the start.”
