It's a shame you guys don't really do these anymore. Really interesting stuff for an aspiring Level Designer like myself. I would love to see some Processes for Gears 3, Uncharted 3, Rayman Origins, Bioshock Infinite, and just about every other big AAA coming out this year & next haha. Either way, thanks for these cool vids guys! :D

@olisaoli hell...design can be art...it all depends on how you look at it.

@mh294m They use things called "Tablets". Search for tablets like "Wacom Bamboo Tablet" if you want to start.

[Jungiboy]

DREAM JOB! It ain't work to me, it's FUN!

[RedPlayerOne]

ME2 Had bad-ass armor, and awesome environments on every single world I went to. Great work from that team!

[Tiefighterr]

what kind of studies do you need to finish so you could became a concept artist?

[JoeGoRawr]

I have always wanted to be a concept artist i love drawing people and surroundings ect! But people think my female characters are too pornographic!

[HotPocketsBoy]

@XTHEGAMERGUYX good luck with paying back that tuition lmao

@mh294m

First of all, you will need a drawing tablet.

Drawing tablets are generally divided in 2 groups:

-"normal" drawing tablets (based solely hand-eye coordination, meaning you draw on a tablet that is connected to your pc)

-monitor integrated drawing tablets (the kind of tablet the guy uses in this video)

But beware, the lcd tablets are significanctly more expensive (ranging between $500-$2000, whereas normal ones will cost only $50-200)

If you're going to buy one, I would recommend Wacom
