what is concept art?

concept art is the blue print for the desired style of game play you perceive whilst playing the manufactures game.weather the game art makes your feel scared, panicked or at ease.  it is also the foundation of what the characters surroundings and play levels will appear to look like.weather it be a rainy life infested jungle or a desolate desert were your flying atop a rug over many miles. Then the artist takes into consideration what specific time period the characters are supposed to be in, weather its 1000 years into the future or back some decades ago in the Victorian days. they also take in to consideration why the main character is special, what makes them special. how they became special. the type of setting that the character is going to be places in  base d around his special purpose.weather he is the shining king of a city or a rebelling slave. how he got to  where he is presently. the characters past. every detail that would shape a normal human being or animal (or object for that matter) is taken into consideration when creating the concept art.

concept art that is used in videogames is used to illustrate ideas for people to work off of to create more characters and eventually the setting of gameplay. concept artists will soon after be hired who will design the game environments, characters, buildings or even machines to give the other artists a solid foundation to start work from and add thier own idea to. the concept artist then creates the first template of how something should look and in such a way that it portrays the feeling and style of the world the character is in or came from initially. if there weren't any concept artists working on the project the other artists would have to work off of description alone and with many artists working on something that hasn't been visually mapped out for them they'd all have their own personal styles added to the creation and all the styles wouldn't mesh together properly. as some characters would look like two completely different games blended together.

At this stage, product ideas are evaluated to consider whether existing , working resources are available to meet the manufacturing needs and productions needs for the new product. Product ideas are also evaluated to see if they are up to the companies standards, their goals and objectives,  their marketing directions and financial requirements.
