About
My name is Tan Qiyao,
I am an illustrator based in Baltimore, MD, and currently a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I am focusing on concept art, character design, and environmental design. My latest work is building up a fantasy world thousands of years later from now, where new cultures are raised on destroyed lands. I am interested in finding the balance between traditional fashion and modern aesthetics, also the discussion of humanity, morals, and natural laws.
Besides the illustrations, I am creating landscape painting and portraiture painting at the same time. I used oil paints a lot to record the beauty of nature. I like to paint objects from shapes, using light and shadow to form my composition and bring life to the painting with colors.
Thank you for reading my long introduction! Enjoy my work and send me a message if you have any questions!
