The role of a concept artist is invaluable to any business that produces animations, illustrations, games, apps, videos or any other type of graphical media. Also known as a 3D artist, 3D concept artist or technical artists, a concept artist brings stories, narratives and messages to life. 

The imagination and artistry of a 3D artist is integral not only to the design of characters, creatures, props, backgrounds and environmental settings, it’s also key to the creation of entire new worlds and universes. Their skills and creativity are highly sought by animation, film and TV studios, art departments, creative agencies, illustration and design studios, app developers, video game creators, and advertising and marketing agencies.

With the rise of virtual reality, NFTs and the metaverse, the need for highly experienced concept artists, particularly a 3D metaverse artist or 3D game artist, has escalated. 

The problem, therefore, is not only in finding the right type of person for your company, but also paying the salaries that these skilled artists often demand locally. This is where Outsourced can help, because we have access to a large pool of talented technical artists in the Philippines who are hired on a full-time basis at a fraction of the cost of hiring locally.

Role of a concept artist

The role of a concept artist is defined by your company’s needs, but essentially, your technical artist will work with a brief provided either in-house or by your clients. Using this brief, they provide drawings and paintings of characters, creatures and environments that perfectly reflects the brief. 

Some of the tasks performed by technical artists are as follows:

• – Creating detailed 2D and 3D drawings and paintings that reflect the essence of a brief.
• – Researching topics, ideas and designs.
• – Creating specification sheets for other artists to follow.
• – Communicating effortlessly with clients.
• – Incorporating client feedback into the designs.

Skills and qualifications

A 3D concept artist has an exceptional ability to visualise ideas and create the perfect characters, creatures and environment to tell a story. They bring a narrative to life, visualising scenes from a book or brief and create new worlds from scratch. Many possess an artistic or creative degree (fine art, animation, graphic design or similar), but these qualifications are not required. Instead, a strong portfolio easily demonstrates their creativity and success in their chosen field.

Some of the skills required by a 3D concept artist include:

• – Excellence in Photoshop and 3D software.
• – Ability to use colour, light, form, shape, perspective and texture.
• – Outstanding attention to detail.
• – Strong time management skills.
• – Ability to adhere to tight deadlines.
• – Self-motivation.
• – Research skills.
