“The main aim of a concept artist is to facilitate life for other professionals in the team. Work of a concept artist is a battlefield on which one can experiment on and test various aesthetic solutions before other people start working on it. From the perspective of production, concept phase, if well performed, creates not only a coherent vision of the final product but also makes stable frames on which 3D artists, animators and sound artists can build on. Concept art also serves as a blueprint to which other artists involved in the project can refer to. It enables quickly communicate some visual solutions and inspire the others working on this design”.
