A LOT of concept art goes into the making of the video games we play. From the characters we play as to the environments we explore, Concept artists are the cornerstone of establishing how a game looks and feels.
As part of Melbourne Games Week 2024 I'm running a Concept Art Contest in partnership with XPPen, awarding two Graphics Tablets to the most interesting ideas and sketches in the categories of Character Design and Environment Design.
We want to see Interesting Ideas from you and drawn by YOU. It can be as simple as a napkin sketch or detailed illustration, But more importantly we want to see your process and a description of your idea.
Winners will each receive a 14’ Inch Artist Pro (Gen2) Graphics Tablet by XP-PEN where they can take their ideas and sketches to the next level.

What is the Judging Criteria?
While sketches are important in communicating your Ideas they don't need to be 'Da Vinci' Level Quality. We'll be putting focus on the originality and creativity of your Ideas and your thought processes. You can post up to 3 Images that visually communicate your Character Design or Environment.
Is there a preference for using Digital or Traditional Mediums to sketch our ideas?
Nope! No Preference to using either Digital or Traditional Tools. Your sketches and concepts can be drawn in black & white
or colour in any medium that you're comfortable with. We really want to see what amazing and unique ideas you come up with
