Final Concept Pieces

Final Ice Mountain Concept - Screen Recording

Ice Mountain Experiments

When I was making the Ice Mountain, I had changed some things about the image to see if it had given a better look to the overall painting. First, I had changed some of the levels in the image to give it a darker look, then I had amplified this and it had given a dark blue colour to it which made it feel like it was dark ice, instead of snow. This look also gives the image an complete overhaul, and makes it look a lot more in the Ice Age period.

Ice Mountain

This is an interpretation painting I had done of an Ice Mountain during the Ice Age. This painting was done using Photoshop and had a snowy, and icey look to it. Also, this work was done on Photoshop using a variety of brushes to get the right textures and general look to it. I had used a lot of 'cool' colours to make it have an Ice Age look and also, to make it portray that look too.

Industry Concept Artists - Methods

In the industry Concept Artists use a lot of methods to help their workflow. One mehtod that they use is organistation, as this would help them too keep all of their work due dates on time and also, to help them to be more prepared for their work when they need to find certain pieces. I think that this would also, help me because it would help me to be more on track to my personal due dates for my pieces of work as well as, to be able to have my work at a presentable standard for other people to see.

Another method that the concept artists use, is to incorporate a lot of thick and thin lines in the final concept pieces. This is a good method to use as it would help to define the predominent and minor places for detail and attention. I think this would also be as it would help to give off detail in a lot of places. As well as this, making the image conote either cool or warm colours to suit the theme of the image. This is what I want to use in my final piece as it would help the piece to suit the theme as well as the time it was situated in.

Also, using the golden ratio in their art pieces. I think this method is a great type of method to use as you can slowly add detail to the image in the form of a spiral and guide the audiences eye to were you want the main focus to be on, which is what I want to do in my final art piece.

Industry Concept Artists - Software

In the Gaming Industry, many concept artists use a lot of programmes to help them create their concept art. Most of these concept artists use a programme called Adobe Photoshop, which is also the programme that I am going to use to create my final piece. This programme is great for creating concept arts as it has all the basic tools necessary to such as the paint brush, marquee tool and the eye drop tool, as well as this it has the advanced tools making it easy to use for beginners as well as people who are familiar with this type of software.

Another type of software used in the industry is a programme called Autodesk SketchBook Pro. This programme is used to help concept artists develop thier sketches and basic animations, this tool is also used to create art pieces with perspective. This will help a lot of the concept artists to develop their initial sketches and also, bring some new concept ideas from it.

As well as this, concept artists use another programme called Corel Painter 2015, this programme is used for the variety of brushes it has to help the concept artist create the concept pieces that they were looking for. This programme also, has a range of unique tools which makes this seem like another good programme for concept artists to use.
