Concept Artists

My highest career goal is to create concept art within the game industry or to make storyboards for the film industry.  I've researched a couple prominent concept artists within the gaming industry (as well as comics and storyboards), and have some of their work to show and discuss.

This first artist, Andrew Jones, is lesser-known of the two, but his work is very beautiful and sci-fi futuristic based which is one of my favorite themes/subjects. His site is here--> http://www.androidjones.com/

This picture has a very fantasy and child-like feel, while keeping an interesting seriousness to it; like the new re-make of Alice and Wonderland.  The contrast between these to themes is an interesting tension.

I enjoy this piece of work, again, because there is a visual and thematic tension between the real and the digital/abstract.  Also the geometry involved in the creation of the amorphous shapes at the top is very intense and complex.

The second artist, and the more famous of the two (having done work for Marvel comics) is Kevin Chin.  He has a similar visual style to the type of work I am trying to achieve.  It is painterly, while at the same time not completely realistic.  His website is the following--> http://www.kevinchinart.com/

As you can see, Chin's work leans much more towards the conceptual stage of game/comic character models and their characteristics.  He has a wide range from completely comic-book/cartoonish illustration to a more semi-realistic phase as in the power ranger piece.
