Character Concept Art
We bring the imaginary characters to life through our artistic skills by maintaining the character’s personality, backstory, attributes, and visual identity. Our artists translate ideas into visual representations using their technical knowledge of character anatomy, design principles, shape language, color theory, expression, costume, accessories, and other elements that bring memorable characters to life. We provide you with turnarounds, facial expressions, poses, and other concept art that clearly captures your characters and creatures.

BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE

The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again. The team is very passionate and we were amazed when we got the final result which was better than the reference we provided, a reference that we really liked. I can say that we loved their work and that they are able to take an idea and bring it to life thanks to the passion they are working with and the perfect communication they are providing until the best result is reached.

This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)

PIXUNE GOT THE PROJECT RIGHT FROM THE START

Pixune got the project right from the start. We had a somewhat unique art style that needed consideration to be both cartoony and low poly. They were great at interpreting the brief and adding their own style and ideas which really helped. Throughout the rest of the concepts and 3D models & animation steps, nothing was a problem, they asked good questions and were happy to jump on a video call for updates at any time. We will be using them in the future!

CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS

There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.

HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE

The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.

Why Our Concept Studio?

With a collaborative approach that values client input at every stage, we ensure our game concept art services encapsulate your unique vision while exceeding the loftiest of expectations.
You'll Get QUALITY Concept Art

We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad design even if asked to! An ugly artwork annoys our brains more than you.
Several times, a client was happy with a piece of art, but we were not, so we designed it again from scratch at our own expense.

You will be constantly updated to share your comments, apply any changes to the concept art, and ensure we are on the right track. An exclusive account manager will be allotted to your project, who will manage our communications and respond to messages quickly. They are always available, on-call, and ready to jump on a meeting with you, even on weekends.

We welcome changes and criticism, and we are as flexible as possible when it comes to implementing revisions. However, as professionals, we will express our opinions and provide our advice. Ultimately, the decision-making lies with you.

We are gamers by nature and know the ins and outs of the game industry by heart in addition to our gaming experience. Our common sense here comes into play and helps us have easier and more effective communication.

FAQ

How Much Does a Concept Art Cost?

Concept art services prices can be found anywhere from $200 (€190) for simple ones to $1000 (€950) or more for complex concept art.

The cost of concept art can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as art style, number and complexity of assets (characters, environments, props, etc.), technical specifications, and time.

You can contact us right now to receive a price estimation of your concept art today.

Designing a concept art can take 1 day to 10 days, depending on the art style, number of assets (characters, environments, props, etc.), technical matters, and your budget.

You can contact us right now to get a time estimation for your concept art project today.

Our concept art production process involves identifying your unique needs to have a deep understanding of your project, sketching, creating more detailed sketches, selecting the best color key, and adding details using texturing tools. Then, we apply lights and shadows to support the story and mood for a desired result.

  • Concept art visually defines the game early in development, while illustrations promote the finished product.
  • Concept art establishes the visual style and explores ideas. It’s about answering questions and problem-solving. Illustrations promote the game with polished, visually compelling images for marketing. The focus is on selling the established vision, not problem-solving.
  • Concept artists define the look of characters, environments, props, key art, and other game elements. Illustrators bring concept art to completion with rendering, lighting, and other finishing touches.

There are 4 logical reasons for you to consider outsourcing concept art:

  • Saving Money and Time: Whether you need a few concepts or a hundred, a concept art agency can deliver top-notch concept art at a fraction of the time and cost. You gain immediate access to a versatile team of specialists without the overhead costs of hiring staff.
  • Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity, too? Apple partnered with Hovey-Kelley for creative ideas when inventing the mouse. Concept art studios thrive on imagination and creativity.
  • Quality: Practice makes perfect. Concept art companies produce countless game concept art, constantly honing skills and staying current on gaming industry trends and tools. Their experience enables high-quality work delivery without wasted time or budget.
  • Scalability: Expanding a game concept art creation scale requires growing your skilled art team. That’s challenging in-house but not for a concept art agency with access to more artists and designers. A concept art outsourcing studio maintains larger talent pools and connections to scale up readily.

There are 4 criteria for picking the best concept art outsourcing studio for your projects:

  • Portfolio: A concept art company’s expertise is showcased via its concept art portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
  • Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in any concept art agency is its online reviews.
  • Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
  • Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best game concept art studio in the world, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a video game concept art outsourcing studio that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.

To create awesome concept art, 6 critical points should be taken into account:

  1. Clear Silhouettes: The shapes and silhouettes of characters and objects should be clearly recognizable and visually distinctive. This helps establish their identity and visual brand. Star Wars stormtroopers have very distinct helmet shapes that are instantly recognizable.
  2. Consistent Lighting: The lighting and shadows in concept art should feel cohesive, even on separate concept pieces. This creates a consistent look and feel. The lighting and shadows create a cohesive look across Overwatch character concepts and environment art.
  3. Expressive Characters: Facial expressions, body language, and costume details should help convey a character’s personality and backstory. Their attitude and emotions come through. Tangled’s Flynn Rider shows strong, consistent facial expressions that inform personality.
  4. Environmental Storytelling: Backgrounds and environments should provide visual interest while also reinforcing important details about the world and its history. Breath of the Wild’s ruined architecture tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world.
  5. Mood and Atmosphere: Color palette, lighting, perspective, and other elements come together to set the overall mood and emotional feel for the world and its inhabitants. The Last of Us concept art uses a somber color palette and perspective to convey a gloomy, tense mood.
  6. Cohesive Style: Though concept pieces may have variety, there should be a unified and intentional art style, use of color, level of polish, etc., throughout. Cuphead has style consistency and a unified retro art style across characters and environments.

Pixune concept art studio offers high-quality concept art across different styles, including photorealistic, stylized, futurism, fantasy, etc.
Here, custom art styles are also available if you have something specific in mind. Our team, with extensive experience, can match or combine multiple styles to achieve your ideal vision and create concept art in any style you desire. Let us know your vision, and we’ll make it a reality through our flexible and customizable concept art design.

Here are 3 key managing tips for rushed projects:

  • Build in a buffer time (plan for 5 weeks if your target timeline is 6 weeks) for contingencies, iterations, and reviews. Buffer time acts as a protection against any errors or issues related to the project force majeure. This way, circumstances that might not go as planned are taken into account. 
  • Build in a buffer budget due to the need for additional resources, overtime hours working, revisions, and changes. While some changes might seem minor, they can accumulate, leading to significant increases in both costs and time.
  • Consider reevaluating some aspects and changing your project scope and overview by reducing the complexity.

Here are 10 key strategies to help you benefit the most from a concept art partnership:

  1. Clear Vision and Goals: Establish a shared understanding of the game’s artistic vision, style guides, and overall goals from the outset. Clearly define the scope, deliverables, and expectations for each collaborator.
  2. Open Communication: Maintain open lines of communication among all parties involved, including artists, designers, developers, and project managers. Regular check-ins, feedback loops, and conflict resolution processes are essential.
  3. Respect for Roles and Expertise: Recognize and respect the unique skills and expertise that each collaborator brings to the project. Foster an environment of trust and mutual respect, where everyone’s contributions are valued.
  4. Consistent Art Direction: Appoint a lead artist or art director who can provide clear guidelines, oversee the artistic integrity, and ensure visual consistency across all assets and collaborators.
  5. Efficient Workflows and Pipelines: Implement streamlined workflows, file management systems, and production pipelines to facilitate seamless collaboration, asset sharing, and version control.
  6. Flexibility and Adaptability: Be prepared to adapt and make adjustments as the project progresses. Embrace feedback, iterate on ideas, and be open to compromises that serve the greater good of the game.
  7. Time and Resource Management: Establish realistic timelines and allocate resources effectively, considering the workload, skill sets, and availability of each collaborator.
  8. Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Maintain comprehensive documentation, style guides, and reference materials to ensure consistency and facilitate onboarding for new collaborators.
  9. Collaboration Tools: Leverage appropriate tools and platforms for team communication, asset sharing, task management, and real-time collaboration, such as project management software, version control systems, and cloud storage solutions.
  10. Trust and Respect for Intellectual Property: Clearly define intellectual property rights, ownership, and usage guidelines from the outset to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.

Here are 3 common challenges and risks in concept art workflow and strategies to address them:

  • Challenge: Project Delays and Unexpected Disruptions
  • Solution: Comprehensive upfront planning, minimizing excessive revisions/edits, maintaining open communication, and building some buffer time (10%-20%) into the timeline for unexpected issues and contingencies like artist illness, emergencies, etc.
  • Challenge: Misunderstandings
  • Solution: Extremely clear and detailed brief, over-communicate priorities, ask the studio to explain their understanding back to you (do not just seek confirmation of your explanation), and emphasize crucial requirements repeatedly.
  • Challenge: Budget Overruns
  • Solution: Pursue a fixed-price contract rather than hourly, conduct detailed scoping in brief, set clearly defined budget limits and contractual provisions, and build in contingency buffers for possible risks.
  • Challenge: Technical Limitations
  • Solution: Evaluate technical capabilities early and align art production with supported features and performance targets. Implement optimization techniques, such as level-of-detail (LOD) systems, occlusion culling, and asset optimization.

Here’s what you can expect from our concept art studio:

  • Regular Updates: We’ll provide you with regular updates on the progress of your concept art for your feedback.
  • Revision Process: We understand revisions are often part of the creative process. Our concept art studio offers a structured revision process to ensure your feedback is incorporated effectively.
  • Open Door Policy: We have an open-door policy, so you’re welcome to ask questions or discuss any concerns you may have at any time.
  • Educational Resources: Our concept art studio can provide you with educational resources to help you better understand the concept art process and the creative decisions involved.
  • Multiple Format Delivery: We deliver your final concept art in various formats suitable for various platforms and uses.
  • After-Service Support: Our support extends beyond delivery. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about using your concept art or repurposing it for future projects.
