Sheng Lam is an acclaimed concept artist known for his work with industry-leading studios such as Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Cloud Imperium Games and Funcom. He is widely recognized for his contributions to major titles like Star Citizen and Concord, where he has defined the visual identity of complex hard-surface designs, from intricate props to massive spacecraft. Sheng is celebrated for his incredible design exploration skills, particularly in the realm of "cassette futurism" and retro-industrial tech. His workflow is defined by a "blockout first" philosophy, where he utilizes the early stage of a design to focus purely on the interlocking of forms and structural logic. This disciplined approach sets a benchmark for design quality, ensuring that his mechanical and architectural creations feel functional and believable, while always maintaining a high graphical quality that blends innovative tech with a distinct, tactile aesthetic.
