Congrats on being the first!

I also am anxious to see how this website takes off! I'll be inviting several other friends to join along. This should be fun!

Tell us what you do and how you got into the industry to keep these threads going.

Here is a quick intro:

I'm an old school bay area (San Francisco) graff writer who caught a big break by getting into Art Center with a black book, photo album, and some crummy sketches. I've done just about every job in the spectrum from Art Directing, Level Designing, to building final 3-D. However, it always comes back to Concept Art.

I started concepting while still in Art Center working for Production Designer Jaymes Hinkle on some film and tv pitches. I quickly got the call to start designing for Oddworld. At that point I worked in games for good while. I currently work both in games and film from my own freelance studio.

I'm currently gearing towards higher res landscapes, archi-scapes and photo realistic imagery.

Some day I hope to learn to draw a figure


Best,
Rob

cool site, so much talent
is it new?

haha and I'm the opposite-someday I hope to learn how to draw a landscape/environment =P

oh I too will be spreading the word

[JohnnyRocwell]

I really dig the site so far. A flood of talented artist already. its greatness. Definitely spreading the word. By the way, I'm a concept artist/Comic book artist. I worked professionally in video games for a couple years and now i'm a freelancer.
My goal is to change the world with my art. . .and then retire in France with my wife and eat various cheeses.

Just found the place, awesome! I don't really know other artists here or.. But doesn't matter.

I'm just learning to create concept art - love it - currently studying visual arts and interactive media in university here. I'm not too experienced or talented fish in this soup, but I do have time, effort and patience!

Cya around!

[Thrakks]

Becoming a concept artist would be a dream come true for me. Damned if I know how to exactly go about it. I would gather that I need to improve my skill and somehow get noticed. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me ahead.

Its incredible just to be able to see some of the stuff you guys make and things you've worked on.

[Shinypants]

I'm only just beggining my concept journey so i'm glad that there is a place that can inspire and teach me so much.

Hope to see you guys around!
