HA5 Task 1 - Reference research

HA4 Task 1 - The purpose of concept art

Concept art plays a really big part in the games design industry, and is extremely important for several reasons, the main reason being because without concept art there will be no game, and even if there is the art of the game will be extremely bad and no-one would want to buy the game.

Exploration:
The exploration part of concept art is really important and every concept artist goes through this stage. Basically what this means is when the concept artists get feedback of the higher up's in the game design industry(the people that decide what type of game it is) they have to go back and get started on this, and the first thing they have to do is gather a load of ideas together and just keep putting ideas out there. After they have done this they then have to explore for idea's on the internet to help them and guide them to create there own piece of concept art. So overall what this means is the exploration part of the process is where you gather a load of ideas whether that's from the internet or your own ideas or even others to help you with the actual producing of your concept art.
Here are just some examples of exploration in concept art that i would need if my project was based on either Anatomical art(Character), Object art, or environmental art:

Anatomical art(Character):




Object art:









Approval:
The Approval decides whether or not they use the concept art they have made for the game or not, so after the concept artists have created there artwork they must show this to the lead artists or the leads of there group and then if they approve of the artists artwork then they take there work and show it to the people that decide whether they are going to use that artwork in the game they are producing or not, and if they do not approve then the concept artists must keep making more until they approve.

Production:
The production is the finalized model that they put out to the public, so this is the last stage of the concept art, and will be the art that the public see, for example the main character/characters and maybe the Environment art.
