About
Welcome!
Hi! My name is Alvin Duque. I currently study game design and development at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde in Manila. I love to explore fantasy, cultural, historical, nostalgic, and nature themes; to challenge myself to look at places in new and interesting ways.
Currently, the art that I make for game projects are hobby and academic. My art style is painterly and focus more on creating environment, backgrounds, props and UI elements. I continue to educate myself in digital painting and experiment with different processes in 2D game art creation learning their fundamentals and asset implementation.
I am a supporter of digital freedom, the right to access technology and information are core to human rights.I'm open to collaborate on a future or existing project. For games I've made contributions to, visit my game portfolio at alvinduque.itch.io. If you think I would be a good fit, DM me on Discord: firef.org or email me at alvin@firef.org. Thanks for visiting!

Hauled Books
Every month or so I go on a book haul searching for mostly used and old Art and visual reference and game-related books. I add them to my collections for visual reference and for inspiration. Sometimes, I return empty handed. Check back soon to see what I have in store!

Art book Review
This used book, Digital Painting Techniques Volume 1 from 3DsTotal, is from amazon and not exactly part of the Book Haul series I plan to do. I've only scratched the surface. For 13 bucks, it was the cheapest in the 8 part series most go for 50 bucks. For student artist out there, I'd look into this more. There's a wealth of meaningful information on photoshop techniques and principles. The book covers digital painting projects from characters to environments, fantasy to sci-fi themes, weather effects, and even a topic on speed painting. Amazing how a lesson taught in a software from 2009 is still understood and relevant in 2023. My favorite is the medieval iron plate armor suit. I plan to design a medieval-themed asset pack before the year ends. Exciting!
🔨 Website under Construction. Still structuring where things go as I add new content I wish to share. Thanks for visiting my site!
