Portfolio advice, from a lead who hires Concept Artists

(This was originally a twitter thread I wrote before the site self imolated, hense it's strange structure.) I wrote this after a weekend of portfolio reviews - 1. Like a maths exam, please please show your working. I want to see thumbs options, mid options and of course a final design.

2. Arrange your portfolio, I don't want to bounce about between subject matter and pipeline. Your portfolio's narrative should be as strong as your work... 3. Please make worlds that excite the viewer, make them want to go in and explore them, explain to them the interesting parts of the town, or the way the character's hat unfolds. How will this draw the viewer in? 4. As I've said before the majority of your project work is explanatory not mood, make sure your portfolio contains explanatory work. Explained here -

5. A lot of beautiful post apocolyptic paintings, , but 80% of realistic games and film, we just give the environment artists photo ref, they are capable artists in their own right. Different work in stylised where you do need to create rules for how things can be translated. 6. Production art contains call out sheets, material references and flat graphics. This doesn't have to be your final image, but it should support it.

7. Design characters on a swatch(es) of the environment they will be viewed in. Not on white. I make swatch backgrounds from screenshots, it avoids assumptions that damage readability. 8. Reverse of this, put people in your environments, show me the scale.

9. It's not a deal breaker for a review, but if you intend to get a job, please show me your work on a screen larger than a smartphone (print outs probably the cheapest option with the best battery life). 10. Please have your contact details clearly visible, and by that I mean email address, I will not pass your social media contact on, I cannot input your form into my tracking system. EMAIL ADDRESS emblazoned and bake it in, sometimes recruiters do funky stuff to pdfs

11. Your portfolio will never feel done, not to you anyway. You will have learnt from your latest pieces and want to apply it to older work. But we know art is a journey. Send your portfolio anyway. I've been in the industry 10+ years and my portfolio is still not 'finished'. 12. If you are applying to an environment centric Concept Art position then please vary your times of day! Golden hour is cool but show me some happy sunny days, looming overcast days, what about at night? Vary your weather too! Sunny snowy day? Rainy Spring day? Stormy night?

13. If you are applying for a character centric Concept Art role then please ensure your portfolio shows a variety of body types and ethnicities. 14. Designing characters for games? Please show back views and feet (!) Many potfolios contain only front views. This is a problem because:

You haven't shown you are considering the design from all angles.

In many games rear view is the main view.

Stop cropping feet.

15. If you are entry / graduating and looking at Portfolios to compare content and standard of yr own work too, look at hired grad/junior artists as opposed to seniors Seniors and leads often have old or personal work in their portfolio which isnt representative of the day job. 16a. Show clearly the intended use case for your Concept Art. Mention the game type in the description. Are these player character designs for a 3rd person adventure game? Then more back views please. Bonus points for diagetic ways of showing health / equipment / role etc.

16b. Are these designs for an FPS? Then really the player view of the gun needs to sell the player style/ choices, in an FPS your weapons are almost your character. Are these world designs? What's the view distance? For an RTS your shapes need to read from above & a distance. 16c. The lack of clarification means I am judging the design in isolation, which both harms the design (you might be considering the backview of a char as the main adventure character.) Or an NPC, their waist up expressions may be important for conveying exposition and mechanics.

16d. Concept art is not separate from gameplay, great concept art serves the game team before it is a good illustration.

17. Play games. A variety of games. Think about them. IMO to be a good concept artist you need to understand the common language & references used by your peers. Also understand the principles and common language your audience are used to. FPS design rules are v.diff from RTS.

18. There are many skills that are needed in concept art, please show them. For example: Graphic design - logos, liveries, typographic use etc. VFX concepts - Abilities, Ambience, motion concepts. Architectural knowledge - How buildings are built! & more but I'm out of space :O

hehehehehe Mingus,,,

many thanks to @amorphous-v01d for the vision

Have a sister, can confirm. I am the feral one.

a sibling relationship is just “i love you beyond my own life but i’ll never say it” plus “i’ll kill you over a stolen shirt don’t even fucking test me” plus “inside jokes and secret language” plus “i literally do not understand the dark recesses of your mind what the fuck are you made from” plus the occasional “oh my god please don’t eat tha - spit it OUT SPIT IT OUT”

P.S. : can someone tell me if I did the image description right cuz I have no idea

Ok but where is Iwa?

coffee shop au ideas p2

okay i had a day of thinking and i came up with some more ideas after i make this post I am going to do an actual masterpost where i keep everything in this au in one place for my own sanity among other things  honestly this is like a college au with a mystery that just happens to have a lot of connection to a coffee shop but whatever i’ll come up with a name eventually lol 

Tsukuishima lives above the coffee shop and he is an astrology major. he moved into the top of the shop because he has an excellent view of the stars in the sky and everything just from his window. on top of that, daichi gave him the key to the roof, and he pretty much lives up there doing his studying. he really doesn’t ever spend much time in the coffee shop other then when he comes down to see Yamaguchi….

Yamaguchi is a botany major at the same college as Tsukishima. the two of them have been friends since they were kids and are still very close. they also are for sure a thing together, because Suga and Daichi know that all the plants on their roof do not belong to Tsukishima, but more often than not they find Yamaguchi coming down to work from Tsukishima’s apartment. Yamaguchi also brought in a lot of plant life to the coffee shop, giving it a fresh breath of air. unarguably, he is their most popular barista. 

Yachi was a business major but she decided that she didn’t want to do that after some time and dropped out. she works pretty much full time at the coffee shop on the front register, because she is too flustered to ever handle ever making coffee. she isn’t sure what she wants to do with her life just yet. 

small ideas/ideas i need to work out: daichi is going to school part time for business to help their shop profit ukai and takeda are private detectives looking into iwaizumi’s disappearance. they think oikawa has something to do with it.  oikawa was in a relationship with ushijima before he moved back to their town.
