I'm truly amazed by your art. I can't believe I found you by chance. I instantly recognized the art of Deus Ex. I mean, Assistant Art Director and Senior Conceptal Artist? So you're the one to blame for that incredible style and backgrounds
I've got so much to learn from you....besides, well, everything; the light of your pics always stands out, and also how you sometimes with just some lines and simple stuff you make very complex scenes.
Summary: you're awesome! Instant watch

Hello,
Thank you for the compliments,
I must tell you that to work in video games as a concept artist is to never fall in love with your concepts because it can change more than once, be the least possible and proud to accept the directives can important that they like it or not. Work very quickly and make sketches quickly. There are some that are very hard cie and other very cool. Present a project that you develop, demonstrate that people and environment you can develop a world. It is not just a question of artistic ability but also creative potential that you can launch. Brief sketches of beautiful works, and especially try never to copy the style of concept. Trying to Develop your own style while demonstrating your ability to make it to the other. I always try to take my source of great technical masters of painting. It is the base is like a jazz musciciens. He's probably done before the classic. Also like to know photoshop is an extension of yourself. Finally in the video game concepts should be as clear as possible, because any downstream production will be based on your work that is to say the final rΓ©sulstat depend greatly on the brightness of your concepts. So you have an important responsibility on the shoulders. Be cool and relaxes very helpful, because the emotional state creatif sweats a lot through one concept. Good luck!
