should I model out this concept? I can tell its a 3d model but its also technicaly concept art.

Doesn't matter if the concept is 3d. You'd be surprised how much concept artists use 3d nowadays. Make it!

This.

Even ones that don't have a desire to get detailed and complex with 3d work can easily take advantage of blocking out a environment or vehicle in sketch up or a more traditional 3d program, it saves time, it gives them less work to solve visually, and the model can be passed on.

ok, i would like to expand this discussion

concept artists: PLEASE use 3D modeling when making your concepts!! i am absolutely sick of dealing with 2d cheating which could easily be prevented by quickly blocking out your main shapes and painting over them.

thank you

Please do it sir.

Yeah, to echo above, lots of concept artists use a basic blockout in 3D to get the perspective and proportions laid out before painting over. It's a fairly common practice.

Hehe, yeah I know excately how that is, finding an awesome concept and start modelling, and keep getting issues with scaling, especially bad when its one model, such as an organic spaceship shape, with curves, which is impossible in real 3d space...such as:

doesn't bother me at all, after years of getting concept art that is more promotional art than concept art has gotten me used to fixing it as I go.

sense this concept doesnt have complete turnarounds it gives me more room to throw in my own ideas, thats always nice.
