Concept Artist Before the character and environment artists can get to the business of creating in-game assets, the concept artist toils away perfecting the minute details of a soldier’s helmet or spacecraft. As is implied by the title, this person converts intangible notions of a would-be hero or planet into fully realised images. Using traditional materials (e.g. pen and paper) rather than computer software, the concept artist sketches ideas for the game worlds, characters, objects, vehicles, furniture, clothing, etc. They also suggest level designs, colour schemes, and the mood and feel of the game. Although not involved in creating the actual game art, their concept will shape the look of the game.
Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most popular tourist destination, attracting over one million overseas visitors each year. The city is affectionately nicknamed Auld Reekie, Scots for Old Smoky, for the views from the country of the smoke covered Old Town. Edinburgh was the birthplace of Rockstar Games.
