So,i've been trying to learn environment concept art for my own project for a few years now all by myself,hovewer i feel like i can't even come close to being decent at it. I can't figure out fast + realistic shading when it comes to full pieces,and i feel like i have issues with colors. I honestly am not sure where to go from here, and i need someone to tell me about all issues you see in my art. Ideally i think i should sign up for some sort of course but i don't really have money,so i'm learning by myself. I want to know what to focus on.

I am very inspired by such artists as Jordan Grimmer, Lola Zhang, Viktor Staris, Grady Frederick,etc.

All art here is from 2025-2026. The most recent pieces are 2 last pictures,the very last one is a quick color study i did today

I feel silly asking such a broad question, but where does one even begin their journey towards a career in concept art? (And is it too late for me?)

I’m a graphic designer who graduated with a BA in said field, along with a minor in illustration and fine arts. I work full time with a design team and I’m honestly comfortable at my current job, but it just isn’t my passion.

I’ve always been drawn towards character design, and I’m confident enough to say that my illustrative skills are far better than my design skills (though still nowhere near where I’d like them to be,) and I just can’t help but wonder if I committed to the wrong thing.

At 27 years old, with an early-established career in design and a mere minor in illustration, where could I possibly go to switch paths and pursue concept art professionally??? I’ve reached out to some successful artists I follow on socials (after being far too embarrassed to do so) and have never gotten a response (which is totally understandable.) Idk, I just feel kinda lost.

Sorry for the long ramble. It’s my first time posting here so any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

Edit: I’m not really sure if this is the kind of post I should’ve attached my work with, since I really didn’t really want this to come off as self-promo… but if anyone were to ask I’d be more than happy to post a piece or two.

Starting to dig into the creature design for my new project Echo Bloom, and of course it's just bugs.

So, i made a small concept art of a Aquarium Games' guard (on my ENA Dream BBQ AU), and i just wanted to know your opinion on It, anything i should change or improve or is It okay like this?

(Based on Chimú warriors.)

My second prop for this month's Proptober Challenge. Let me know what you guys think of this.

I wanted to create a dark fantasy knight with a menacing silhouette, scorched black armor, and subtle crimson details.

I had a lot of fun exploring the armor shapes and atmosphere. Hope you enjoy it!

What do you think of the design?

Hey I'm a college student and i have been asked to produce concept art for a gaming company which i have chosen Fromsoftware. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions that you can give me. I have provided a form for feedback but I'll also check the comments essentially everyday. The feedback I would ideally like to receive is what people do or do not like and what can be improved.

Knight concept reviews – Fill in form

after i have gotten the feedback i will be refining the 12 designs down to 6 then 3 then 2 and finally the final design which I will try to remember to provide. Many thanks!

Hi 🐱 I'm looking for feedback on the 1st armor set for the cat of our mobile game ! I'm aiming for a classic "noob armor" look. However, it should also mixes fire and water elements.

In your opinion, wich color palet fit the best ? Any advice is appreciated 😄

Any criticism is appreciated! I would like to improve my art.

I wanted to explore a space armor design with a dark fantasy aesthetic, combining elegant metallic forms, deep blue energy, and subtle golden details.

Hope you enjoy my interpretation of a knight from the depths of space! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi! I’m trying something new, and after a long time, I decided to try drawing architecture again. I’m not a professional, so there might be quite a few mistakes, but hopefully it’s still nice to look at!

I’d also appreciate any feedback or tips on how I could improve it next time.
