what do you do for a living?

I'm a concept artist. Freelancer and makes decent to good money. I do about 2 to 4 projects a month, hours are good since I am working from home, not too much hassle except once in a while I have to be on time to deliver the product.

What exactly is a concept artist?

We do exactly what the title says. Concept artists will take an idea for something that the visonist came up with and wants to look like, a character, a location, an enemy, a weapon, a vehicle, etc. And sketch it out, color it, and just make it look good in many different positions.

So basically we give the visual representation of what a video game, animated movie, comic book, sci-fi or fantasy movie will look like. We do the 1st look of the work of what the rest of the project will look in the end.

Just think of us as the starting pitchers and the visionist (person who came up with the idea) as the manager and the 3d artist and the rest as the bullpen.

Some of my stuff from the past from character sketches, props, to finished environments.
