The most important lesson I've learned over the years is this:
I think this rings true for what you are trying to do as well.
Good luck and let us know how it goes! |

Try to be specific and try to keep in mind where game camera is (1st person? RTS-style camera?) and concept accordingly.
Here's a really good thread of concepts done for a single game: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=118126 Note that there are mood shots and quick ideation sketches in the thread, but there are also more developed scenes, in-game-shot paintovers, concepts of single environment props, and linedrawings. If you can imagine yourself playing through the environment, and show gameplay consideration in your design, you'll win bonus points with game companies. |
Many thanks to both of you! Awesome advice and I'll definately take a close look on those links you posted. It really helps! Thanks again!
