Alex Beddows is speaking at the following session/s
The Relationship Between Environment Art and Concept Art in a Game Production
In the session, I would walk through my time on Star Wars Jedi Survivor and educate new artists on how collaboration works in the industry. It is not always immediately obvious what collaboration looks like so I think this is of use to both environment and concept artists, Collaboration is a conversation so if both sides understand the needs of the other we can foster good working habits.
Session Takeaway
- To understand why the environment is so dependent on concept art and what our needs are as artists
- For environment artists to understand what we are trying to solve and show they have a support network to help them
- To give a general insight into a video game production
