Concept art whether it be good or bad is almost always interesting to see.
Post some if you have some.
Concept art is oddly satisfying to look at.

>>90300349
Awesome
Why the fuck does Hotel Transylvania look like shit when the concept art is godtier?
>>90300241
You can see with this one that they were trying to compromise with a design inspired by Sandler without being him.
Imo, they should have gone with one of the more serious designs. The gap between a serious look and his quirky personality would have been nice.
>>90300460
I like some of these darker, almost Tim Burton-like designs.
I love concept art because it can literally be anything from any artists' mind. It doesn't need to reflect the final look of the story, it just needs to bring ideas to the table. Unlike other jobs like feature film animator or layout artist who need a very advanced understanding of things like anatomy or perspective, you can get an artist who might have a very scribbley style of drawing, might not be the best at anatomy, but makes very appealing designs and pick his brain for creativity.
This is just two basic colors with a default brush but it's just as valid as any high rendered concept art in this thread because it exists to give you ideas of the shape and design, not the technical prowess.
This website is an excellent place for finding a wide variety of concept art. It's not in English but I highly suggest checking it out.

>>90299961
literally ezio
What's a building look like other than a rectangle with a door and windows? The nooks and crannies, the swivels in design. The difference between brownstone and brick.
The inner details aren't perfect shapes, but you would never notice because you looked at the picture as a whole. If you were to draw right now aspiring to do the same, you would be obsessed with trying to make perfect rectangles and a gorgeous drawing like this because that's how you remembered it even though this is actually pretty messy compared to how clean it could be. Cause as long as the overall drawing looks really, really good, people will remember it better than it actually is.
From one of the How to Train Your Dragon shorts where Gobber is talking about his life.
There's an interesting skillset in composing a nice model sheet/sketchbook page so that, even though it's a bunch of individual drawings, it looks so much better that it's together even though it doesn't belong together and is there purely for reference.
If this were arranged in any other way, the swivels of the shark wouldn't have nearly the same impact (Though would still be strong cartoon poses).
>>90299978
I actually forgot about this topic.
Have some "Beware The Batman"
Sometimes the way you gotta arrange concept art too can make or break a pitch when you present it. The artist could have very easily just drawn a bunch of birds with different colors on a page like a traditional model sheet, but make a conscious design to line them up, have them next to each other in rows, and have the same pose + eyes.
Not only did this probably save him some time to meet a deadline, but probably did a good job presenting them as merchandise possibilities while also making some nice looking art. Sometimes artistic designs are made out of the necessity to meet deadlines (Copy and pasting eyes) and that's the shit that helps get you the job. Re-use those assets, baby.
I love some of the earlier Anastasia/Anya concepts
>>90300717
I'd dig a 2D show with this artstyle.
>>90300826
>That face
Even if you totally hate a show and think it's awful, just know that there's always some nice looking production and concept art out there of it.
>>90300717
>>90300869
I feel like this art style was too stylized for TV-budget CG.
>>90300892
Wait a second are you that guy that was jerking off the concept art in that thread last month?
Don't forget to practice your pitching for storyboards, you will be doing it if you ever wanna get into that type of job. When the director comes over, they'll ask you to go through the boards and you'll be reading the characters lines and presenting the action, sometimes doing sound effects as well, to help sell the script.
In feature film it's demanded you be very excellent at pitching. In TV, if you are storyboard driven, you need to be decent. For script driven, you just need to be halfway decent and get the idea out even if you're not that great at sound effects or voices. For very simplistic pre-school things, just be able to talk well at the very least.
Just try reading these three panels out loud and pretend you're pitching the jokes and scene.
>>90300915
Probably.
>>90300971
Brief intermission with the lost Hannah Barbara Teen Titans designs
>>90301011
I was unaware of these. That is an interesting find.Don't know if I'll get shit for this, but who's the purple guy?
>>90301011
Finally, back to the New 52 movie/Young Justice Designs.
Pipelines will vary per production. In FanBoy and ChumChum's case, they are using CG and don't need to be so on-model and can afford to scribble out the boards as haphazardly as they want. In Venture Brothers case, they have a very small team and need to present the ideas, art, and composition as finely pressed as possible to pass on to the animators so that they can be more cemented with what they want to do when they finally move on to the animation phase with as much direction given in the art as possible.
Shit, sometimes their boards look like comic book pages, and that's the point.
>>90300927
I jerk off other people's artwork at least twice a day, it's all a blur at this point.
>>90301080Never mind, it says so on the image.
Sometimes they'll go as far as to define the shading so they don't have to do it in later steps of production to, again, save time on what limited budget they have. Why bother with having three different artists make a model sheet for the shading, one doing the storyboard, and the other doing a color script when you can incorporate all three in the storyboards?
it works for them. It doesn't work for every production, but it works for them.
>>90301083
Note that Tim and Dick's Robin designs actually come from Young Justice, not the movies (despite my labels).
>>90301080
I recall reading that the Teen Titans were originally supposed to have a HB cartoon, but the project didn't happen. The only remains are a PSA without audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5j6C8dAWQI
And just because I wanna suck Venture Brothers dick hard, look at this fucking storyboard. May as well be the sketch for an illustrative piece. Clean, pristine storyboards can sometimes be hard to come by in some modern day TV productions (They've since cut a lot of storyboard deadlines from six weeks to four weeks on some shows), but it's nice to see them when they do.
>>90301127
Finishing off the Robins and seguing into the Teen Titans (sorry, but Jason doesn't have a sheet or whatever).
Damn, look at the line weight on this. Just one storyboard panel out of hundreds for a single episode.
All the panels aren't even done with the same quality, and that's fine. It works. Your pitching work doesn't need to be consistently drawn, just consistently presentable.
>>90301167
Could've sworn I had Beast Boy too. Oh well.
Of course, very thing lines/no line weight at all can be just as gorgeous.
>>90301229
At one point, the guy who does the designs for Young Justice and the New Animated Movies revealed that a Killing Joke movie was in the works since 2009. This was his Joker design.
The entire thing is pretty well drawn and then you get to the arms which are barely scribbled in and not even colored. And that still doesn't make it a bad storyboard. The importance is the pitch, not the consistence. And chances are, if you're doing hundreds of these, you just simply won't have the fucking time to make every single one of your panels look like this. Sometimes your boards will look like stick figure shit and that's pretty expected, even from pros.
>>90301267
Also, there's these concepts from a Nightwing & Raven tv show that didn't happen.
>>90301305
Often times, you will get assigned to certain scenes or workloads according to how good you are at ____. If you're a very funny person, you'll be getting the comedy scenes. If you're very good at dynamic poses and shots, you might be getting some action scenes. Being a master at one thing (Just comedy, for example) can actually be a stronger trait in getting you hired than trying to be a Jack of all. Because then the studio doesn't just want someone who can get the work done, but someone whose brain they can pick.
Hell, there was a storyboard artist who used to work on the Ice Age movies (Not sure if he still does) who wasn't very good at perspective but had a great sense of cartoony humor. So the studio let him do his boards, approve of his writing, then passed his boards on to a better artist who would tune them up and add some perspective. Despite the first artist being a "worse" artist, it was still his boards the second more skilled guy was cleaning up.
>>90299303

>>90301097
I don't know if im remembering this correctly but I know that it was something having to do with Nabisco having the exclusive rights to use Robin, to what extent I don't remember, but that's why DC had to makeup The Protector as a stand-in for those Titans PSAs from back in the day.
>>90301323
>>90300049
>monster in paris
post more pls
Maybe you're good at poses but not very good at animation itself (Which includes timing, weight, spacing, etc). Well you know, you can still be a valuable artist for the production. Limitations doesn't stop you from getting work.
>>90301364
And here's Raven
The pose is more important than the details. The gun doesn't need to be perfect, the hand doesn't need to be anything more complicated than a square, as long as it's there.
>>90301382
You'd think examples from Batman Knight Gallery were merely redesigns, but it turns out that it's connection to the League of Batmen: In which Ra's Al Ghul breaks into the Batcave, steals the late Bruce Wayne's diary (with hearts on the cover), finds the extremely 90s designs and decides that they would be perfect for his League of Assassins.
No, seriously.

You apply to job listings. Many visdev artists do other jobs like storyboarding, prop design, etc before they get a character design/art direction job. Some do designs for advertisements, indie games, and other things not strictly within animation. Build your portfolio and skillset. Post your work on a portfolio site, either an existing portfolio site or your own. Make connections with people in the industry (Twitter is very good for this). Posting your work on social media is a very, very good way of getting noticed these days. Part of it is working hard, part of it is making good work, and part of it is luck.

What's the deal with designing 2D concept art if the cartoon show was going to be 3D anyway?

>>90309088
Dream?
>>90300021
Oh shit, is that from the idea of an Adult Alvin and the Chipmunks show?
>>90312645
So the 3D artists have a concept to work from, also it's cheaper and quicker than rendering out fucking CG storyboards and shit.
>>90312680
That's a cuter and bolder design, though it migt not fit with her personality.
Tina's final design communicated tired Italian to me.
>>90312645
Because drawing ideas can be as quick as 10 minutes and rendering a model takes several hours.
2D is so the design can be approved first and help the 3D artist understand the shapes from various angles to help minimize the amount of frustration when jumping to a CG sculpture.

It's a massive production time and money saver and the integrity of the art work completely suffers for it.
But that's the industry we got!
>>90317940
Fuck the industry, 2D still has a place and 3D is just too easy to do badly for it to keep getting a pass.
>>90318159
2D is still mega alive, just not in American feature film.
I don't know why you think feature film having animation will somehow "save" it. It certainly didn't save it from the ghetto the first 100 years it's been around. It's alive and well in Japan, Europe, students make a ton of cool graduate films, the indie scene has been booming, TV still heavily uses 2D, and we've even gotten incredibly good at puppet animation with things like Wander Over Yonder and Lion Guard.

It would have made the movies waaaaay more amusing if the Vampires actually looked spooky instead of like some dopey suburbanite in a cheep Halloween costume and his mall goth daughter.
Art style alone killed those movies for me. I just can't watch them.

Shit, I might of liked this show a lot more if it wasn't done in cheap 3-D.

From what I remember, the books were a bit darker but more in the fairy-tale vein. Pitch was a hero that was supposed to guard a Lovecraftian monster's jail but was tricked into releasing it after years of the thing pretending to be his dead family drove him insane.

In very rare cases they can get it right, anon. I agree not all 3D is bad, but the problem is that it's become a crutch. Disney is the most obvious example of lazy 3D. I don't give a shit about the technology behind curly bouncy hair or a unique snowflake generator when ever other aspect of the design and execution turns out so bland and vapid.

Yeah, he's mentioned that part of what got him excited about Hotel Transylvania was the opportunity to bring cartooniness back into a medium that's increasingly obsessed with realism and simulation.

This is why I love Genndy, among other things.

But the fact that they spend a lot of resources on developing that tech in the first place is the opposite of lazy. Just because you don't appreciate it doesn't mean it's a crutch. Elsa and Anna aren't any more innovative designs than Ariel or Belle.
