Hello, I’m a student in Australia, currently doing a Diploma in Game Art, and I’m looking for a professional concept artist to answer some questions for an assignment. They are short and sweet, and I hope to hear back from at least 1 of the hundreds of incredible artists here.

All ill need is a place you’ve worked at professionally, and your job there at the top of your short answer. Thank you.

Questions:

1: to me, being a specialist environment artist in game development, means you need to have a broad understanding of the general themes of many cultures architectural stylisations, would you agree?

2: sculpting tools, is it worth spending the time to enhance my skills in sculpting as an environment concept artist?

3: is the role of concept artist on the rise in game development or film studios?

Thank you for answering my questions. And I hope to be able to answer these for someone else someday. Cheers.

1. I think you should do your research on the subject of what your concept for a project might be.
2. Sculpting is more related to modeling and gaining that extra layer of detail.
3. I believe concept artists aren't the most open and demanded job positions so I would say about average.
