We’ll be discussing concept art with experts in the field who will be talking about their own journeys into employment and providing advice on how you can become a concept artist in the games industry.

We will be joined by games industry professionals working at Sucker Punch Productions, Atomhawk, Naughty Dog, One Pixel Brush & more.
