Concept art is also about designing small props that most people won't notice, but it is still SUPER important. Even though it might seem "boring" at first, it's actually tons of fun ♥

As a Concept Artist, it's REALLY important to communicate with the 3D artists because they'll be able to help you break down some stuff. In that case, modular props is a huge timesaver because you can re-use pretty much everything!

Since some people asked about my process, I thought I might share some of it, even though it's quite straightforward. [THREAD] 1/3 First step is a simple shadow layer (multiply), then I add another one for ambient occlusion (multiply - same value)

Something I really like about working in an indie studio is that you get to work on different things. In that case, for the visual effects, it's important to understand the gamedesign/gameplay constraints while keeping the visual essence of the character. Talk with the GDs!
