"Some studio's dont like you working on your own personal projects outside the office, they own everything you do-" I will *_NEVER_* respect a studio that pulls off garbage like that. Being hard and demanding on your employees is one thing, but owning every single thing they do throughout their life? *_NUH-UH BOI._*

@YOUCANTDOTHATONTELEVISION 3 года назад

I think he was trying to say that they want you to stay in the mind set of their projects. I've found it difficult to mentally switch from project to project. It's more simple to keep focused on one and push thru it.

@MaceHead117 3 года назад

Concept Artist here sorry to tell you this is VERY common in contracts with companies, as a freelancer you can avoid it however. Though it's not as strict as what you are likely thinking, they wont stop small scale projects but if you were to start working on another IP or the like at the time they "could" claim it as theres. Ultimately if you want to do a big solo project or indie project save up and take sabbatical to do it, or freelance on the side

@YOUCANTDOTHATONTELEVISION 3 года назад

@@MaceHead117 thank you for the input on this. Even though I am not a working artist in the industry, it makes sense that they would not want your priorities divided between projects. It also makes sense that someone who is not full time in house would have more freedom once they finish their short term. I had assumed that part of the issue would be that if an artist came up with an ip during their time under contract that it's possible it would be derivative of the contracted work. Anyway, thanks again for the insight.

@sunshinejulie5687 3 года назад

Imagine drawing your own stuff on your own time, but hiding it under the desk- in your mattress or your safety deposit box! And dodging the studio goons when they come around to see your work, like the James Bond of art! Years later you get sued by the studio anyway when they find out you drew the art while on their payroll.

When you talk about the disposability of concept artists I now feel very lucky to not feel that pressure and don't feel the need to compete within my team, even if I'm working at one of the big studio but like you said, it's different between studios. however, I think it's really important to remind yourself that to stay at the top of your game if you're aiming at the big AAA studio.

@FloMoonYeah 3 года назад

while i was a teacher i actually told my students to go bug some pros out there. One of the main reasons we do that (i think) is probably because students will go contact some of their favorite artists, those they hold in high regard.

@thesheeark2818 Год назад

The most human thing I heard here, is that even professionals can admit that they "burnt out" of a certain piece or project and are still allowed to keep their job. That was one of my greatest fears, "can a professional have the luxury of burning out without losing everything?" While growing up there was never any indication that professionals have human needs too, that they had to have exceptional super human work ethic. And lately I've been seeing all sorts of artist, big time artists, admitting their burnout or mental health breaks and it's honestly so relieving. Personally I don't really ever burn out, my muse will skip a project but eventually come back for it, but the fear of such a thing happening in a big gig really warped my perception that working for any company would never be a reality since there used to be no examples of weakness, only success until this point in the internet and social media.

When I was in art school I didn't really have a clear idea of what I wanted to do so I would just say Concept Art because that's what I would see a lot of my favorite artists do (or at least what I thought they did). I realized I'm a lot more interested in the illustration aspect rather than perhaps the conceptual design (which I still enjoy too, but not as much as depicting story or cool images).

There might be another reason you're getting the same questions over and over again. When I was employed to help figure out the syllabus for a concept art course, in order to get government funding we needed to comply to the national syllabus requirements. Part of this involved getting consultation from industry professionals. Getting students to send an email to someone in the industry was just the fastest way to check that box so we could get back to teaching them the stuff they actually needed to know. That was just in my country, I don't know how it is elsewhere and I'm sure there are multiple reasons, but I wouldn't expect to stop receiving those emails any time soon.

I'm a bit of a late shower, I wanted to do concept art back in 1995 but never really got the direction during school. I currently work as a sr graphic designer (23 yrs) but would like to get into concept art, which I think is pretty much in the middle from what I'm hearing from your videos. From user interface, icons, textures, skins and colors, basic initial character designs ... I think I can cover and help the team. What I find that would be challenging are those loading screen type of art and polished ones. I have a hard time looking at the monitor after 9-11 hour days creating print artwork/layouts ... but I'm slowly making it work.

This is just a general comment. My experience in the video game industry is very very limited, but I'd throw in to look up and find art critiques on you tube that are based on a design challenge or theme that happen every month or so. Even if in a different style, it really helps both within the styles one works and expanding your tool box of skills and knowledge. Also true with paint over videos, but always take some of it with a grain of salt in that how they solve a problem or compositional nuance is not the /only/ way to solve a challenge usually. It does help train your eye though. At least for illustrative purposes there are some really solid resources out there.

About independent studio, what do you think of Cloud Imperium Games

@collinkoolaid3519 3 года назад

I understand this might not be in your line of sight for what you do but do you know what the path to being like in world building for games is or even a job that is world building is that just what an writer is or is someone in level design in charge of world building or would that be the head dude like owner and creative director? If it means being an indie designer for your own game do you think you could share what the pipeline of making an indie game is? Sorry for so many questions love videos always excited when i see something come out

Just buy a game studio, or start a new one. It's going to take a good amount of money. Either that, or start as a entry level game designer at a small newly formed studio, and work your way up, hoping that they don't replace you as they grow and have access to established big time talent.

What do you think about someone that Is serioulsy Passionated in Concept art, has quite ok skills in illustrating but it's stuck with 3D modeling for automotive??? (I mean I'm a styler for automotive car and I do 3D model everyday) do you think that 3D modeling for products can be useful in game industry??? maybe using blender and zbrush???

To answer your question trent, yes I want to be an artist that breaks things down into a more explainable form, although illustration is nice too don't get me wrong.

Can you tell us what you do as a concept artist? I havent watched the video, my favorite art teacher told me to ask the pros ;)

Even though the "chewed bubblegum" aspect of working for a large studio exists, would anyone say for an aspiring CA artist, that it is good or necessary to work for a large studio? I would imagine it to be a case of "pressure turns coal into diamonds" kind of situation. I am working on an indie-game that goes through spurts of progress, then lulls as team members revolve through the doors. I'm one of the few consistent members, and it tbh it feels hard to get the project off the ground. It is in the catch-22 phase of "The studio can't hire labor without money, but without proof of concept (being it so early in development) we can't get money." It's been a great opportunity but after this project I would like to work in a more established environment. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey, junior artist who just had a terrible experience in a small indie studio here, I was wondering something: how can I as a begginer with zero leverage protect myself from rich CEOs who can get away with breach of contract, threats, straight up emotional abuse and just over all treating you like shit? You also mentioned Glassdoor, I very much intend to write what my experince was with these people but can they then come at me? They are 100% gonna know the review comes from me. Thank you for your videos, they are always very interesting and honest :)

@TrentKaniuga 3 года назад

If you have no leverage, it does not benefit you to trash talk. Try to see every situation from their perspective too. I don't know your situation, but since you're new to the industry, I advise you to consider that you don't know how the industry works yet. Some people get pissed at their boss simply because they're expected to stay on task and create useful assets, but the beginner artist doesn't want to do that. Well, too bad. When you're an employee, your boss is your customer. The customer is always right. So if you don't like your customer, find different customers, but don't bad mouth the ones you have worked with in the past. It ALWAYS bites you in the ass. At least you got some work history for your resume.

@MoviesHolmes 3 года назад

@@TrentKaniuga thank you for replying. I undoubtedly know very little about how the industry works, but staying on tasks and creating assets is all I ever wanted to do so that's never going to be the issue. Senior artist, lead artist and the AD all agree with me here (and were also treated really badly and some suddenly lost their jobs like me) which is why I at the very least wanted to write something on Glassdoor, do you think that would still be seen just as bad mouthing and turn against me? Again, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me, I really appreciate it

I guess my question for you Trent would be have you ever felt a sense of pointlessness to creating art, and how did you get past it? Like every time I sit down to draw, I'm like, "Why am I doing this? What's the point? What am I going to do with this?" These questions have haunted me my whole life and I cannot for the life of me answer them. I'm like, 'Should I post my sketches on social media?' or 'Should I learn ZBrush or Blender? Why?' The few pieces of art I have posted online have been almost universally ignored and drowned out by the over-saturation of others more skilled, so there's pretty much no reason for me to post. My art site of choice is not ArtStation but Pixiv, where there are thousands upon thousands of highly skilled artists that completely destroy any warrant I might have for creating art myself. How have you dealt with any feelings of being hopelessly lost and without direction regarding what you should "do" with your art?

@TrentKaniuga 7 месяцев назад

In my case, I get paid every time I draw. So I don’t feel that it’s pointless so long as I would like to be paid. But I have been bored before, and that’s when I decided to learn to program and design and animate.
