In all of my Infinity PBR (http://www.InfinityPBR.com) models, I add concept art. I realize that some developers could use the art but not the models, so these packs are now available. All of the artwork can be found in the character packages, but if you only want the 2d Concept art, here you go!
The art work (each character has at least 3 images, sometimes 6), comes in ultra high resolution Photoshop and PNG formats. The Photoshop files are layered as often as possible to allow for more customization, including the ability to turn on/off body parts, wardrobe, particles & more.
Sorry for the odd question, did you ever hire someone called Hsiao Yen Chen, only they are using some of these images on there art station and looking for work, I wanted to know if this was a trick or not, best to go right to the source!
Yep, she’s the artist!! she does great work, is very punctual and communicative, even half the world away.
When I first started finding others to work with, I booked a middler and an animator. This was nearly 2 years ago. And I found the same thing in both of their portfolios, and assumed one was playing games. But turns out even though they’re both from different areas, they had each worked on the same model for another client. Somewhat of a small world I think
Awesome to hear! I’m curious why she wasn’t credited anywhere on your site for the work though? As I did look around there for a bit before making any assumptions, no credit means she’s likely to have people like me notice the matching art work and have us assume she didn’t produce it.
There’s a “Contributors” tab on each character/pack, but it’s up to the contributors to put themselves on it, link to their work, and all that. Some haven’t do so yet, and I’m not sure why.
Ah okay, well that’s good to know, I did check the contributor tab but couldn’t find this person hence my question, thanks for clearing everything up! Have a good one the packs looks awesome!
Thanks, and thanks for saying something! I have a feeling that there’s a decent amount of art theft going around and it’s good to know some people check up when they see something that may be fishy.
Hi, I was wondering if the concept art can be used outside of the defined criteria (Marketing or Game use). Could I use it to create other sellable merchandise? Not reselling the art work but using it as the center piece of another commercial product (t-shirt, poster, etc.).
That’s an interesting question. I know the official Asset Store TOS don’t allow for that – like, you can’t use a 3D model for 3D Printed toys, and you can’t use a 2D art work as a poster.
However, if it relates to your game, I wouldn’t have any issue with a poster or shirt, so long as it’s a shirt or poster about your game, rather than about the art work. Does that make sense? If the logo of your game incorporates some of the concept art, that would be perfectly fine.
Just remember that the art isn’t exclusive, so others may end up making practically the same thing with their logo
OK, thanks! One more question. The TOS indicates the assets can be used for games or interactive media. I create dynamic themes for the PS4 (I consider them interactive media). Some are based on a game I’m publishing but some are just independent products (not related to a game). I was thinking I would love to use some of this concept art in one of those independent dynamic themes but I figure it is better to ask before purchasing.
They said: “If it were a dynamic theme for PS4 or something similar as in a theme to an interactive menu, that would be considered ‘Interactive media’”
So I think that means yes
Fantastic! Yes it would be dynamic. I am also happy to credit the artwork to your company as well on the PlayStation 4 Store page for the final product (unless you prefer I don’t). I think the artwork is awesome!
I’m interested to know if the package features any action poses of the characters that would support many of the action angles for the creatures. For example, the dragons soaring down, is there any poses of actions that could be coupled with those dragon poses to give the impression of interaction? That’s a question from the artist doing advertising art on my project.
All the poses are shown – they’re in transparent layers, so its easy to move them about, but the poses are otherwise static. I’m sure they can be morphed by someone who knows photoshop.
