Amazing AI-Assisted Concept Art That Bridges 3D Workflows With Traditional Foundations by Nathan Chen

Nathan Chen, a multidisciplinary visual director, digital artist, and self-described “hobby visualist” based in Taipei, Taiwan.

Chen’s creative process bridges multiple mediums. He uses his strong traditional art foundations to fuel his modern workflow, which combines 3D rendering, digital illustration, and AI-driven generative tools like Midjourney. His artwork heavily focuses on creating immersive environments, exploring various moods and aesthetics. A significant portion of his portfolio leans into retro sci-fi and cyberpunk aesthetics—such as stargazing androids and data temples—while also exploring serene, traditional concepts like secluded villages and maple temples.
