One of my passions is creating worlds for others to explore. This has manifested itself in many ways, from being an avid Dungeons & Dragons player to my work as a concept artist.
In this workshop, I’ll walk you through my process for completing visual development art for movies and video games. Vis dev is more specific than just being a big image full of highly polished characters doing cool things. Its main goal is to give the rest of the art department a shared vision. With a well-thought piece, every other artist will have a clear vision for their own projects; it shows the character designs, lighting, mood and environment, and can even show VFX and UI design.
When I create one of these pieces, I use every tool available to me. From 3D to photobashing, if it speeds me up I’ll use it. But more important than any software is the story. If I put together the perfect image with incredible textures, perspective and proportions but don’t show any foreshadowing or emotion, then the image will probably be considered a failure by vis dev standards. Viewers will need something to attach to mentally, emotionally and visually.
