    Well put together video! Your style is clean and informative.
    I have to agree, when I tell my students what concept art is, the answer has always been disappointing as it isn't always clear. I find myself saying "it depends on what you are doing". In the end, to be a good concept artist / designer, you need to be able to be a damn good draftsman, create ideas from imagination and communicate clearly. Let me know if you feel inclined to agree.

    A concept art is something, which later becomes a real-life prop, a 3d model. Whereas an illustration is not that demanding in terms of form representation, clarity and construction. It can be flat, unrealistic, but emotional. Whereas a concept art should clearly convey how to build it

    • @stout8529
      @stout8529 2 месяца назад +1

      Yes.. and no, not exactly. Anything can become a 3d model, one can model after physical objects, illustrations and so on. If i need a barrel in my 3d scene, I’ll look up for a photo reference and copy whatever i see, it’s not a concept art, isn’t it? Concept = conceptual and it implies for an idea. Concept art is an idea represented in visual form. Not every drawing carries an idea. Most of drawings are just drawings, nothing else. Sure, you can model after any drawing, but it doesn’t mean it becomes a concept after the fact.

      @@MIchaelSybiyup. One can hope that the new IP’s art is at least original looking. This is set up by the Art Director who sets the visual tone, visual style and the quality standard etc. However, coming up with something completely new and original is pretty much impossible task, so CA should come up at least with something that is distinguishable from other similar projects. CA often receives some technical notes or greybox level design screenshots for example to paint over (in games) or a location photo from a movie set. Get some directors notes what he wants to convey with the scene and CAs job is to convert the mental image, the initial idea to a real image and kickstart the visual production process.
      Also inspire the team with ideas (less talked topic). The drawing, that is considered a concept art for the project, is go-to image for different departments like modelling, texturing, shading, lighting, technical team (fx etc), and pretty much all the rest. So, if the director asks modelling team to start modelling without the concept, then modellers have literally no fkn idea what to model, what’s the style.. what the actual?? :) So, yeah.. it’s an idea, in the nutshell.
      Can AI do it? Well… AI gives you somebody else’s idea and you either go with it or roll the dices again until you are somewhat happy and then try to be lucky next time, cause the style and the language has to remain consistent. That’s really hard to achieve with the AI. At least within the larger scale projects.
      Ups, long reply. Interesting topic, tho.

    We have the same issues with the product design terms. A lot of digital only companies advertise for product designers which is confusing for traditional Industrial/Product designers.
    Very good video nice points. I always had issues with the concept artist term as well since I considered myself more of a concept designer since I never cared about nicely illustrating something (like an artist might want to) once I got the main idea over in a way that made the concept perfectly understood by everyone.

    One thing you're insanely true is most company first hire 'concept artist' for making stylized concept art, but then their project changes, a lot of realistic game/movie project is priority then a experienced stylized artist have to do a job as industrial designer to make functional things for high quality assets... This job is kind of not same job at different time, and almost mess up as artist is not experienced with the highly functional quality. In a short word, this is not a job anyone can learn in couple years, it can be a lifetime and suffer a lot as requirements go higher...

    • @stout8529

      If the project changes completely, they hire different set of people and let go of old ones that won’t fit. If they don’t do that, it’s a management mistake and everyone suffers, including the audience.
      That’s being said… pro concept artist can adapt, like 2D inbetween animators in old times. You just have to learn new drawing style, you can’t just draw however you personally prefer.

    I think I understand your point and I agree with you, I think it is necessary to separate designers from artists.

    Concept designer = technical illustration (objects, industry, etc)
    Right??

    • @tomatom9666
      @tomatom9666 4 месяца назад

      Sure, but to be honest if a concept designer has no artistic training they are also almost useless, they should be industrial designers instead in product industries.
      So even though it's a good effort to seperate the two, there is actually a great reason to NOT seperate them: Video Games/Movies/Shows have complex, spontaneous and constantly changing needs. As such, the way that things are designed can and should be completely different in different kinds of projects. You need a broad understanding of reality and image making, hence why we still call it art, because calling it anything else would be too reductive.

The polished images you just showed for Centure is much closer to post production art than it is to preproduction. Concept artist is a general term, but context designer??
    You must know that context designer is such an alien term to artist as the term concept art is to non-artist, and this new name you cooked up does not solve any problem. And the fact that this title has absolutely nothing to do with the video. why not say "don't call it concept art". You're clearly preying on the student artist struggling to break into the industry, why not just make a video just explaining what concept art is instead of this uninspiring attempt to sound innovative.

    So... basically your video was correcting the definition of concept art, not saying 'don't be a concept artist'. That's clickbait.

    Very well informative video, although I fucking hate the bait thumbnail! It’s so shitty how the audience needs dramatic/deceptive thumbnails to click. I get the strategy… again, very very nice video.
