Whos your fav Environment concept artists?

ChaosEidolon · Apr 2007

They seem to get less exposure than the character guys, and i realized I cant name very many so id like some more exposure.

Feng is the one thats pretty well known, but he does mainly sci-fi architectural stuff. Would love to see some landscape stuff.

McIlroy · Apr 2007

Sparth who works at ID is my fav !

... btw I don't think Feng is that good at all he is a cheap Doug Chang rip off who makes uninspired generic attaempts . im not saying he is not skilled draftsman because he is but I don't think he is a very good concept artist.

Scott_W · Apr 2007

Will Burns at Hi-Rez Studios. But I may be biased... :P

*cough* yeah i agree hehe. but everyone always seems to mention him first so i wanted to get that out of the way.

Joshua Stubbles · Apr 2007

Craig Mullins is my personal fav

Xenobond · Apr 2007

I do like me some Mullins, but one of our concept guys at Mythic pumps out awesome environment art.

Hopefully we'll have an Art Book come out with our game and you will all be made known of Michael Phillippi's awesomeness. ^_^

Kevin Johnstone · Apr 2007

No favourites but heres some good ones -

Paul Richards , he did a bunch of work on Quake4 environments , nice clean comic art line drawings, just screams out 'model me!'

Anthony Pereria, he concepted almost everything on Unreal2, again strong clear lines, he thinks and articulates more 3d in 2d than most modellers realise in their chosen app

Shane Pierce , our new environment concept guy at work, does painting and line drawings.... so good to have both and I'm loving working with him

Theres lots more but shamefully i have to admit i dont know the names

AstroZombie · Apr 2007

While I have not met a lot of concept artist, I must say that I honestly do like the guy on my team at GBX

HonkyPunch · Apr 2007

I don't know, but i've seen some cool shit.

McIlroy · Apr 2007

Also this guy named Messing . You can see his work in the concept area of Tabula Rasa and the enviro work is mind blowing !

I actually have a tie with Sparth and that would be Capt. Flushgarden aka John Liberto he did the gears of war enviro concepts

-David Levy aka Vyle is great. He did some stuff for Prince of Persia and apparently Assassin's Creed.
-Bruno Gentile aka Hydropix is crazy good
basically all the fellows who worked on PoP
-Don't forget Dylan Cole

malcolm · Apr 2007

I like James Hawkins because he does the 3d paint thing. That style is for the win.

Ramucho · Apr 2007

quoting mc ilroy on liberto!

Striff · Apr 2007

Dylan Cole (if you want to call him a concept artists since he is matte painting)...guy is freakin nuts.

Cool link retleks!

ChaosEidolon · Apr 2007

Hot! nice links guys. keep em coming.

That Tabula rasa stuff is particularly sweet

Jeff Parrott · Apr 2007

Sparth.

Jesse Moody · Apr 2007

Well I have a very large collection of Mr. John Wallins stuff, Sparth, Feng and a lot others. I love the stuff Wallin's did for Gears.

Some of Wallins work.

HonkyPunch · Apr 2007

That guy above is awesome.
Quick question:
Does American McGee do level concepting, or does he just make the levels?
either way, he's my favorite.
Loved Alice, Scrapland looks awesome, etc.

McIlroy · Apr 2007

When he worked at ID he was a level designer but I don't think that has been his role since he left ID I think now he just tells people what to do . Though I am sure he has a massive amount of input on level design .

HonkyPunch · Apr 2007

Ah.
Wonderful levels in all the games he's touched (Sort of)

Pedro Amorim · Sep 2008

Daniel Dociu - http://www.tinfoilgames.com/

He's the art director at ArenaNet, his work has always been an incredible source of inspiration for me.

Jaime Jones is a fantastically good young concept artist. I can only imagine what he'll be doing in a couple of years! http://artpad.org/

Yannick Dusseault, Craig Mullins and John Wallin Liberto are my other three favourite standbys.
