I don't get this kind of concept art. What is it exactly for? As a illustration its nice but game concept art?
>>2542136
It's silhouette art, it's meant for coming up with a base design for a character.
>>2542136
are you stupid?
>>2542142
It's pretty shitty example of it though. Multiple designs having nothing in common with each other with different characters, too detailed, not suitable for comparison and looking what works and what doesn't.
2/10, go back to reading"Skillful Huntsman"

what the actual fuck are you talking about?
>>2542164
>guild wars 3
it better have fucking guild wars in it
Xenoblade has pretty nice concept art. Bloodborne too
>>2542188
stop samefagging.
>>2542190
He is the other guy, he is right about multiple iterations of one character and you are frankly retarded or never did character design.
>>2542196
You're clearly from a third world country who's idea of concept art consists of what color of shit you're smearing on a wall and how much ankle can be seen on your women. Be careful trying to write sentences, you might injure yourself.

Man, you have issues. Try stepping outside your trailer once in a while, it's summer, sun works wonders on stress and general mental instability.

>>2542213
these arent character design, these are costume design
>>2542220
he isnt wrong, what you are saying is completely wrong. not sure where you learned abotu concept art, but what OP posted could very well be the start of a character. going into a design, you dont always have one set design you want to go for at the start. therefore, doing various character iterations is the fastest way to minimize what you want to push and what isnt working for your design. you shouldnt start fights on the internet, you look just as immature as that guy does.
shit game, nice art
>>2542243
No, they aren't. Clearly /ic/ still doesn't know what concept art is after all these years. There's tons of different kinds of concept art, each done for a different purpose. Some can be super sketchy, some can be super detailed.
>>2542243
Concept art is an umbrella term. These fall under the category of concept art since they were done to establish the look of those locations. The fact that they are fairly finished images does not mean it isn't concept art.
What's with all the nitpicking pedants coming out of the woodwork?
If you're convinced none of this shit is concept art then post some fucking concept art.

I didn't say they aren't concept art, that's what other retards in this thread are saying
>>2542309
Only one of them was from a movie.

the rest are from video game concept artists,so they count.

- he says not posting it himself
>>2542257
This Anon is right. Fucking newfags don't know that stuff like this is just labeled as such to create hype for a game when it's posted or put in a book. They hire you as an illustrator to make "Promotional concept art" like this.
>>2542322
Post the article for these faggots to know the differencs.
>>2542324
Newfags are never worth the trouble.

>>2542322
most of the stuff you see in books are never going to be concept art pieces. the stuff disney puts in there books isn't even 1% of what their concept art department looks like. Same goes for ND, ID, Blizzard, etc., that's why so many people have a skewed understanding of "concept art".
>>2542324
What article?
>>2542329
>hurr they aren't from a studio, they can't be concept art cause there is no logo on it!
I'm not going to take your bait, faggot.
>>2542329
Who cares anyways. Concept art is concept art in the end. It can be used for games, movies and everything in between.
>>2542329
feng zhu doesnt have a logo on his concept art pieces when he makes videos about them, does that mean he isnt a concept artist?
>>2542328
I think that anon is talking about something like this?

>expecting losers to do any type of research
They wouldn't be here if they had been that smart.
>>2542339
i keep forgetting that this isnt a real art forum and most people here are just kids who like doodling. i wish there was a forum group somewhere that was still alive like CA used to be. it gets lonely being a shut-in with no one who's really going for this as a career. dont even get me started on the /ic/ discord, that place is whack.
I had to leave that place. Fucking cancer. They want to go pro but I've seen hobbyists paint more than them.
>>2542322
Why do you post this if you have no professional experience whatsoever? Just because it's detailed, doesn't mean it isn't concept art. Do you even know what concept art is made for? It's for the whole team to get a feeling of what the game is going to look it, especially 3d artists and level artists. They need to know the exact lighting and mood as well as detailed orthographic views of objects.
Fake concept art still exists, but that doesn't mean all finished art is fake, do you really not see how it has a purpose?
>>2542341
Is this bait or are you just stupid?
>>2542332
what he makes for videos isn't used for real games. If you post his stuff that is made for real games, name the source.
>>2542346
>explaining shit like he thinks he knows everything
Typical newfags
>hurr durr if it doesn't look like a 5 minute speedpaint its not concept art kekkus
>ctrl f Castlevania
for shame
>>2542352
It' all semantics, conceptart can be whatever picture can help you get finished product done. I it photobash? is it napkin ksethc i it photocollage? Doesn't fucking mater if it helps other people in pipeline get shit done.
In big studios the term conceptart is fairly quite specific for certain industry standards, but that doesn't disqualify other pictures from being conceptart (if you can spit 6 ruan jia level illustrations in a day it can be conceptart).
>>2542724
Ruan Jia is not a concept artist. He's also not that good, so get off of his dick. The fact that you referred to him by name tells me you don't know what you're talking about. Also, concept art is two words, not one.
>>2542790
He's very very good, although I agree with you he isn't really a concept artist even though he labels all his guild wars stuff as concept art (are they not mostly splash screens and promo images?).
Also I'm guessing the conceptart vs concept art thing is just people who were a part of conceptart.org got used to always seeing it as one word.
>>2542799
He really isn't that good. You /ic/ faggots praise him like he's a god but his rendering is absolute shit. His illustrations and ideas are wonderful but he's nothing special, same with the big CM. Don't take what I say the wrong way, they are amazing artists, there are just many other people who do the same job better than them.
From what I've experienced, concept art is fast iterations to a piece finished enough for production use. It's not the cleanest but it gives a solid three-read pass, enough for a client to give the OK for the pipeline to move forward. I've worked with illustrations who referred to themselves concept artists that would spend 40+ hours per piece painting. Some people just won't get it no matter how skilled they are in what they do. That or they're trying to extend their skills to other fields.
Regarding the concept art/illustration distinction
It's not black and white. My friend does concept art for a AAA studio, he basically gets told to polish some of his concept work to a higher finish for promotional purposes, but it's still concept art.
>>2542239
>>2542241
These look like regular concept art to me, they are quite rough.
>>2542818
>You /ic/ faggots praise him like he's a god but his rendering is absolute shit
His rendering is really solid, not sure what you are talking about. His real strength lies in values and saturation though, and his edges are very good too. His ideas are actually not that strong so I don't know why you are praising that aspect of his work.
>he's nothing special, same with the big CM
>there are just many other people who do the same job better than them
Lol, Mullins is number one. Who would you put above him? Are you going to start comparing him to people who specialize in things he doesn't do (character design for example)? If you look at things like lighting and texture and just raw skill level then he is leagues ahead of everybody else. He's also been around so much longer and has so much more experience that it's not funny.
>>2542847
Is this just a bad quality image or does it look that shit?
>>2542887
It looks that shit.
I agree, anyone should be able to get to CM's level in a few years
The fact that you guys are impressed by his work speaks volumes
>>2542893
bait is too obvious
>>2542911
retard.
>>2542182
That's not how legs are attached to the body jesus christ.
okami's concept art remains one of my favourites
>>2542692
I don't even like Ayami Kojima and think her art is annoying but Jesus Christ you're posting Castlevania art and THAT is what you came up with?
>>2542182
You're maybe the one person (from a quick skim) to not post some boring conceptart.org garbage and you had to post one of the JRPGs with the least appealing character art style. Xenoblade feels cool during gameplay because the world is believable and well put together but god damn do the characters look ugly on paper.
An actually-impressive JRPG artist is Tatsuya Yoshikawa. At first his stuff was basically How To Draw Manga-tier...
>>2543884
...and in only three years his work changed radically.
>>2543884
>>2543888
I'm sure you could redline this and say it's irredeemable garbage but fuck me if it isn't a great composition.
Yoh Yoshinari is highly skilled and his art for Valkyrie Profile is great
His brother who also did art for these games is also very technically skilled but I don't like his aesthetics
>>2543888
yoshikawa is godlike be it his work on breath of fire, or devil may cry 4 or more. shame he doesn't do much work these days since capcum don't know how to utilise their creative talent and he's probably just locked in a room at their offices.
>>2543924
this hurts my eyes

I'm sorry I just decided to post hand-drawn video game art in general because I thought "concept art" was boringly limited
