Concept Art for INDIES

A design service for Independent studios and entusiasts, looking for the best kickstarting designs for their prototypes.

But... what is Concept Art?

Concept art is not about making pretty pictures. It's a vital planning step in production.Our job is to visualize ideas through sketches and designs to create a world on paper.
These illustrations then act as a essential blueprint for the 3D artists to follow.This process saves everyone time and money by preventing costly mistakes and re-dos, ensuring the entire team is aligned from the start.

You select one concept. We develop it further, refining lines, shapes, and composition based on your feedback.Phase 5: Color & Detail
We apply color, lighting, and texture, presenting work-in-progress updates for minor adjustments.Phase 6: Render
I make a render painting to display the main idea of the concept.Phase 7: Fixes
We always need ot make fixes to hit the right direction of a design.
That is the reason this is the moment to point out details needed to be changed.Phase 8: Callout Sheet
We make a sheet with notes and designs for the elements of the original design, to help 3D modelers create assets and assemble the scene.

Is that everything?

From that point onwards, I will help you and your team execute the final designs.
We can make small adjustments to fix optimization issues down the production pipeline in the Modeling or Animation Phase.
