ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Angel Duan, an environment artist who enjoys building worlds that feel lived in and emotionally grounded. I am drawn to quiet spaces, transitional places, and environments where light, texture, and subtle details suggest stories beyond what is directly shown. Nature reclaiming structures and traces of human presence often shape the visual language of my work.

I focus on strong composition, readable lighting, and material consistency, and how these elements guide player attention while supporting narrative tone and gameplay low. I am interested in how mood can shift through scale, framing, and spatial rhythm, from calm and reflective moments to tense and uncertain ones.

My workflow combines handcrafted assets with procedural systems, including PCG based approaches for natural distribution, secondary detail, and environmental storytelling. I care about visual cohesion, believable scale, and building spaces that are both artistically expressive and production ready.

I enjoy collaborating across disciplines and adapting to technical and design constraints, with the goal of contributing environments that support story, gameplay, and a strong sense of place within large scale projects.
