Hi, I’m Duan Tianli (Danny), a senior concept artist and junior 3D modeler with extensive experience in game art outsourcing and overseas market projects. I specialize in character design, illustration, and KV artwork, shaping visual styles for multiple titles and campaigns across Tencent, Perfect World, DNF, and more. I’ve collaborated with international teams and helped deliver polished art assets under tight deadlines while maintaining a strong sense of visual direction. I’m fluent in English and studied in Australia, completing a three-year English-taught master’s program, plus NAATI Level 3 translation certification. I love learning new techniques, embracing AI-assisted workflows (ComfyUI, WebUI, Midjourney), and continually sharpening my craft through personal projects and team collaboration.
