So recently I started dreaming to try and push my artwork into the direction of animation/video game concept art, with a focus on creature and environmental design. I've been speaking to ex-lead concept artist of Triumph Studio's (Overlord I & II) and he's been giving me some feedback. Turns out I could use some big improvements and up the standard to 'real' concept artist level.
So hereby I call upon the power of you, fellow EoFF-ers, to post your favorite concept art & artists and inspire both yourself and me to create beautiful, jawdropping things. And let's discuss concept art in general.
I'll start with a rather simple piece: tumblr_m3ofemskkn1qctq9do2_1280.jpg
Why do I find it interesting? Well, it is sort of a standard undead Gargoyle, but what surprised me is the artist's way of working. The head up top is cutout pretty sloppy, and part of the tail doesn't seem to be colored at all. The structure in the wings and helmet is what gives this creature his personality. It looks like old copper, instantly making him feel old and well, static like a statue. What do you think?
