Description Character of

Traditional because I didn't have access to a tablet pen.
-This stuff looks way better in real-life. 0:


4-5 hours of work/fun.
Update +1 hour.

-------------------------------------------------
On the side note, I was surprised to hear(from a little cousin) "what a rip-off!"
I was staring with mixed emotions and finally calmed down to ask her "why?" Then she replied "It should be like 2$". I was like hmm....when you work, do you want to get 1$ an hour or 10$ an hour or more? Would you work 10 years to get idk, 50K when you can make that much in 1 year? She paused...then she said"Oh well I didn't think of it that way."

-Still not sure I convinced her though so I'm going to talk to her about it next time.
-I had mixed emotions because when I was in elementary, expensive things would go by dollars, then less expensive things would go in pennies. I started selling my art 50C to 2-3$ for colored characters like Pokemans,Mario, Disney, etc.
Ah.....the world of little kids.

--Now that I am studying to become a concept artist for the gaming industry-well....now lets say its grown a bit. My range being 40,000-70,000$ a year. Not too shabby. :>
(This is just the "financial part of art" because indeed, art can be priceless, but that would be the "heart part of art"-it ryhmes!-but not our topic in question).

What is art worth....to you?
Just a thought, no need to comment.
---aaaaand do you think my price is fair? I mean this is for charity and all... xD

Wow this is beautiful, you are quite skilled in the traditional medium, I really love how you rendered it, it has very nice colours and details Was it purely done with pencil?

x3 Thank chu~
Yes, mostly pencil and a bit of prisma for bluer whites.
After that it was touched up in photoshop. However the strokes
were set to pencil so you can't really tell the strokes apart. xD

Maybe someday I will do a CS pencil type that is secretly digital but looks traditional

But now that im seeing it I will say
AMAZING! I love it sooooooo much, you have wonderful talent!!
He looks so cool. I just keep staring at it.
THANK YOU!

also I think your prices are fair if not cheap, for all the detail you put into the art piece let alone the skill level.

This is really awesome that's interesting you're studying to be a concept artist, that's a field I think I'd be quite interested in might I ask how it is you're studying? is there a course your taking or is it just your own practice to be better at a wider variety of things?

Decadia In reply to wildernessspirits [2012-02-19 04:45:51 +0000 UTC]

Haha thats good! :>
I'm going to a college and studying there. Also studying at my own free time since they can only teach you bare basics. I'm taking various courses.
I'd suggest to specialize in something but also know how to do many things. :3

Hahaha I wish! xD Its alot of stuff to learn and do. Px But mostly do.

xD Ok thats a start! Do you know programs? Most concept artists nowadays have to know the "digital" side of the field and many of them work in 3D as well. Most of them get hired for their speed in creation and versatility.
For example, the extra hours I put into this drawing was in digital, but you can't really tell the digital brush strokes from the physical ones. xD

Try not only thinking in different subjects of creating art but styles and ways of creating them. E.g: Drawing a dragon aimed towards children vs towards adults etc etc~
Np~

Oh absolutely! I've been dabbling in many mediums and have been trying things like perspective and abstract I'm also doing alright at digital I believe, I use gimp (because I'm pretty broke haha) and I find it's a nice program for- like in this piece for example- adding colour and texture to sketches as well as colouring my physically drawn linearts currently my ID was done by hand sketch- then coloured with gimp (:
I don't know really much in the 3D field unfortunately, I suppose that would be important in a video game world, but I thought concept artists really only made drafts and artworks of characters and environments

Decadia In reply to wildernessspirits [2012-02-19 06:43:58 +0000 UTC]

ehhh~ I see.
xD Go get photoshop! Lol, there are places where it is pretty cheap. :> Have you tried to trial version out? From CS2 and up would be great to have. I'd recommend Gimp if you are hunting for an artistic job or for more professionalism even though in most cases it is not free-but its worth it. Gimp isn't as bad as it used to be though. xP

I visited your gallery and love your art~!

Haha xD 3D is not only for Gaming, its also for movies, vfx, storyboarding, concepts for books, illustrations, shows, etc.
Basically- the entertainment industry. However, not all concept artists do 3D. But you'd get hired quicker if you did! xD

Essentially, yes, concept artists are one of the "top/lead" artists of the "art group" that follows the art director or is the director depending on the roles. However, it requires not only environments and development of characters but a "knowledge" or a sense of transcribing feelings and a 3D surrounding of something is important as well without putting too much "drafty-ness" to it. Idk if I made much sense, heh. Px
There are ups and downs to it too. P:
Here are some concept art sites:
