Where to find environment concepts?

sltrOlsson · Mar 2011

You guys have any fancy blogs or something that you keep an eye on for this kinda stuff? I found a blog featuring spaceship concept only, and i thought. Why not environments only.

I'm desperate here. I'm trying to find a appealing concept with some details that fits my goals. It's frekkn hard.

elementrix · Mar 2011

Thanks for the awesome conceptart blog link

, didn't see that page yet.

I usually browse around on conceptart.org, there are always a couple of environment art threads in the finally finished section.

sltrOlsson · Mar 2011

Fuck yeah concepts is really nice! Thx a bunch!

http://conceptartworld.com/ have some cool stuff to. More like articles though.

No one that's knows of a strictly environment concept blog though? :P

PixelMasher · Mar 2011

that concept art world has some amazing art on there, excellent sources for mood and inspiration, and top notch industry work that you dont always see on conceptart.org thanks for the heads up on it!

Hope this helps

Thx so much! I actually think cghub is the easiest way to find environment concepts. Mostly cause of there search.

The others are all great for inspiration but kinda hard to find anything you search for.

InMOP · Mar 2011

I like this thread also found some new ones myself thanks.

Nobody else has thought to say it, so I will. Why don't you look out of your windows? There's a huge environment out there to replicate. Am I serious or am I being facetious? Who knows? :poly111:

It's rare that theres an alien invaded burnt out wasteland graveyard forest outside of my window, might just be where i live though :poly124:

These guys have 16-20 good environment art, along with other beautiful stuff.

And one from my secret stash :poly124:, High Quality pictures, not concept art (sorry), but it does help inspire.

Yeah you right. But the apocalypse survivor shelter is so far from my house. I can't go that far, it hurts my legs

This is a dream collection. It physically hurts how awesome it is.
It has 7 titles that I'm aware of, but that photo below only shows 6.

Haikei Gashuu Kusanagi

Literally, "the Kusanagi books of background art." It's a book series.
The name in kanji is 背景画集草薙.

Amazon.jp Search (entire collection)

Contains environment concept art from several Japanese games. I don't have any of these, but I did buy from Amazon.jp in the past and they accept international orders if you buy directly from them (if you buy from a marketplace seller then it depends on the seller), you just need an international credit card.
After adding these books to your cart, you can go to the homepage of Amazon.jp and click the "In English" option at the top to facilitate the checkout process.
Additionally, you can grab the URL of any page and, in an extra tab of your web browser, use it with Google Translate to translate the whole page -- you don't fulfill the checkout process with this translated page, it's just a guide so you know what options to click in the untranslated tab.

The website of the publishing company is this, they seem to work with 3D as well:
