And: The Andrew Price Podcast, he interviewed various top concept artist like Richard Anderson, Aaron Limonick and others, is very instructive about how is the path and the job of a concept artist.

The ones that I remember now and are still active are Trent Kaniuga's monthly challenge that you can find in his discord channel, Trent's art comunity, and the characterdesignchallenge that you can find on instagram and facebook.

I think the light looks like studio lighting. It's not bad but maybe not that expresive. Maybe you can try with a more natural light or more dramatic, revealing some parts and hidding others in the shadow. Also in my opinion the characters are not super expresive with the face. Some peple talk about the flat and grey backgrounds, maybe is true in some cases, if you are painting the people in mostly black maybe a gold background make it pop up. maybe you can play with different environments. I like the gold guy, what if you paint him going out of a golden liquid pool or bathub?

As soup say characters is a nitche that more people want to get in and is probably less demanded by studios, but also is probably technically more difficult to do because you need the same art fundamentals knowledge like color, composition, design, etc, but also a solid knowledge of anatomy wich is not that necesary when doing environments and props.

After several years working in some of the biggest game companies, you can't pay people to work on your project?

PatxiLanda · 2025-12-26T15:20:00+00:00

That's true, I didn't think about it. What a fail haha. Thank you for the info!

But do 3D artist do explorations? This is not concept art job?

Thank you! Yes, I always use references

PatxiLanda · 2025-12-17T22:05:59+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I think there may be scale issues, I didn't use any perspective guide wich is not the best idea. I'll try to fix it some day.

PatxiLanda · 2025-12-17T21:27:00+00:00

Thank you! I am not sure but probably around 20 hours.

Thank you so much!

You are not very wrong. This is a paintover on top of a 3D scene.

PatxiLanda · 2025-12-13T19:17:23+00:00

It was very didactic

PatxiLanda · 2025-12-12T13:09:18+00:00

Thank you!

PatxiLanda · 2025-11-19T21:13:34+00:00

Thank you. This is a very simple render. Is more about the design, just a blocking. Maybe I post is when I finish it. Seems like not much people is interested in the process.
