Babrus Khan, a 25-year-old Karachi-based digital artist, calls himself “an overrated self-proclaimed artist”, but the 1200+ likes on his Facebook page defines his creativity even better. Owing to his love for comics, Khan loves designing new characters of his own as well as comic strips. He is also accredited with designing a famous cartoon character for an anti-bacterial soap in Pakistan.
What attracts people more to his work is his generosity – drawing peoples’ portraits with an action comic book style upon requests, which people mostly love to put up as their displays on Facebook.
His recent work is his online comic called Black Winter, which is to be released page-by-page, with each page making his fans look forward more to the story. Seven pages of the comic are out so far, while the Facebook page keeps updating frequently with his new artwork with more than 200 pieces uploaded already.
Facebook page rating: Double thumbs up for taking Pakistani art abroad

It's amazing how some people just fill the canvas with passion. And how you almost think you'll blink and the character would come out, alive and real, from the computer screen. Awesome, Babrus! :)
:D Babrus Khan, your work amazes me!! =D
Had been a silent fan for quite some time. Truly astounding work!!
It is indeed splendid to see that there is hoards of talent in Pakistan. I really like Babrus' artwork. Especially the ones he does for Kachee Goliyan fan celebrations.
