Concept artists or Visual developers are illustrators whose main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and or mood for use in film and games, before it is put into the final product.

I decided to mention this field while searching for images for an assignment and recalling a Concept artist Dylan Cole, who's work I very much admire. I thought it would be perfect to share some of his stuff with you and briefly explain what concept design is . The artist has worked on some huge films and game titles, including the likes of Star Wars, Halo, Star Trek, Transformers, Lord of the Rings- the list goes on and on.

Dylan Cole.

These two images are from Dylan Cole's work with the Halo video game. They are created from a mix of painting and photo manipulation in photoshop and Coral painter.

Cristiano Siqueira

While surfing through Behence.com the work of Cristiano Siqueira caught my eye so I thought I'd pick two of my favorite images to show you.

Metamorphosis





Nuclear Nightmare

Now the big questions is, why do i like these images? I think it can be related back to the old days when I use to do a lot of painting in photo-shop. This allows me to admire the skill it takes to create images of this Calliber that are not only detailed but full of emotion. So hats off to this Sao Paulo baced illustrator!
