Kay Tang
Freelance Concept Artist
Tokyo, Japan

Freelance Concept Artist with experience on AAA game titles and VFX projects since 2019. I specialise in fantasy prop design, and love to explore new horizons by mixing concept design with traditional materials and new technology.

I teach as a Concept Art Instructor at Digital Blacksmith School, with a 10-week Prop Design course, as well as guest lecturer at universities.

I am also the main founder of Thunder Gatherers 雷会, a casual concept art meetup event in Tokyo.
