I have never really done much concept art. Don’t get me wrong, I have designed characters and I have drawn quite a bit, but I have only done very little concept art.
However, since I have taken my bachelor project back up, I have found myself forced to create some concept of the house that my main character lives in.., and it’s turning out to be quite difficult.
I guess I have never had an actual appreciation of the thought process that goes into concept art, because you really have to think things through. For the drawing you see above, I had to think about who lived there, what kind of income the household had, where they lived, who the characters who lived there were, what impact they would have on their environment, how cleanly they were and really just a plethora of other things that don’t even bare mentioning.
needless to say, that I may have bitten off more than I could chew with this new project, but I refuse to give up.
I am going to gamescom in Cologne at the end of august and I hope to have a test scene for the game ready to show random strangers, so I still have allot of work to do.
