Qian Yi is an incredibly talented 23 year old Chinese illustrator who I remembered stumbling into a year or so back. Since the last time I saw his work, he's made some incredible strides towards improving his work via plenty of experimentation in different rendering styles. Qian is currently residing in Iceland, which leads me to assume that he must be working for CCP (Eve Online, DUST 514, etc) as of now.
His work tends to gravitate between highly graphic and painterly, with an emerging style that is reminiscent of watercolor with his simulated use of washes mixed with sumi-esque paint strokes. Nonetheless, it was pretty awesome to go through his massive, vibrant gallery and pick out some of his strongest pieces. Check out a few choice selections from his gallery after the break!
