Resident Evil 8 is one of the greatest games ever made, and Capcom has given us a rare look under the hood at how the sausage is manufactured. Ive worked at capcom, Blizzard, Riot, and Epic games, and I wanted to give an industry insiders perspective on the concept art in this masterpiece of a game.
Games I've worked on -
Fortnite (Environment concept art)
Overwatch (Environment concept art + Sprays artwork)

I love when video games do this. I cant tell you how long I stared at the in game concept art gallery of castlevania lords of shadow 1 & 2. Its what made me want to be a concept artist.
AMAZING concept art in that game.
I totally agree with this. The concept of displaying photo-realistic in an old sort of Bestiary-bible like book was amazing!
Man I would love to see a video like this on Dishonored 2 concept art! Absolutely my favorite concept art. From what I have seen in the Art Of book, it all looks very oil painted in style. They definitely used 3D (especially for cutouts/cutaways) but I'd guess much of it was hand painted over 3D (or over a sketch they made on top of the 3D).
Seconding this!
Cedric peyravernay the character designer was my anatomy teacher at school
Yes
Lol, the "how to beat algorithms title" love it.
If only it worked! Lol. Perhaps it should have implied more drama.
YESSS!! THE OLD INTRO IS BACK!! NOSTALGIA STRIKES AGAIN!!
I was waiting for this comment x)
Damn, watch the whole video in one go, and i'm loving it.
As a starter, i didnt know people used photo bashing this much, and got depressed everytime i saw photorealistic pantings, cause i thought that they were all hand made maybe by a team of 20 drawers.
Mh... i'll be waiting for the next video like this one.
it's a time saving technique, looks like cheating but also is helping the texture artist and the modeler pipeline by using pre-existing materials.
Would like to see you recreating some of these concept arts. Like showing the general idea and technics
man this would be great!
I would LOVE seeing you do the paint daubing effect for a piece
Maybe an episode on time saving techniques in general?
Anyways I enjoyed this video a ton Trent, thank you for taking the time to explain what the concept artists were doing / possibly thinking in their processes!
A lot of these tricks are very advanced. I show in depth walkthroughs for photoshop cheats in my gumroad tutorials.
so so cool to hear your artistic view on this & some details of the bts!! i am a fan of the game, but mostly as an artist who wants to get into the industry, i really enjoyed the video & how you took your time to analyse the details! always grateful for the insights of how the process works! looking forward to the next one✨
Really glad you did this!! My sister finished the game and I BEGGED her to get the concept art but she only got the character models. :( Gonna beat it on hardcore so I can get the art for myself >:)
Those character models are insane up close. I went through all of those too, but I didn't want to comment on them because my career focus has been concept art.
TRENT, my dude, this video is DOPE. Watching you pull these things apart while dropping some knowledge on us is just *chef’s kiss*. Wouldn’t mind a few more of these 😅🤷🏻♂️ thanks for the sweet vids.
Trent, this ROCKS! Would love to see more of these types of videos as well.
I’ll probably “watch” this one again whilst I art.
Thank you.
You'll end up creating all the concept arts it needs to make the next Resident Evil.
4:32 - When you see something like M-16 - you can say it's AR platform (you can also add "DMR" if it has suspiciously long barrel) , and when you c something like AK-47 - you call it AK platform. Ez.
Trent - Sensei, thank you for these videos and advice
thank you so much for all the insights
This is amazing, Trent. I watched the whole video and It's so insightful. I hope you make more of this. I love it.
Thank you so much, this video was very helpful
Really informative. Thank you so much Trent for these Great videos.
who is cringing! this is the work of concept artists to get ideas fast
more videos like this PLS I'm learning a lot thanks
Your enthusiasm is always so contagious and your excitement for your craft is always palpable! Thanks for the video Trent!
great video, would love to see more of these kinds of breakdowns
, its really educational and informative
that concept art of Rose was a clear photobash give-away.
This video is incredible, love to see more concept art reactions like this
Lots of knowledge I got from this video. Do more of this if you have time. Love man.
57:10 the poser program for anyone who is wondering is DAZ3d. It is free
Great content, Trent. Really nice and constructive to know how they actually make those! Thank you!
This is great insight. Thanks for sharing.
This is wonderful and Incredibly informative! You mention around 11 minutes that you might actually break down how this is done and that would just be incredible!
That video will be out this weekend! Well, it's a time lapse. If you want the realtime video you can watch it in my box set of tutorials.
Fantastic breakdown! Loved this video. Thumb up and greetings from Finland. (You should definitely do that Photobash video you mentioned!)
One of the reasons I absolutely adore Resident Evil games is the collectables and unlockables - be it models or concept art. I spent FAR too much time unlocking everything in these damn games, then buying up the art books on top. Resi 5 was a mess of concept art and I still can't get over how great it was.
never expected to actually like a reaction video but its happening
Can you please do same thing for Cyberpunk or deathstrading reaction. Cause iam loving it.
Wow, I did not think that you were going to analyse such a bunch of concept art! :o
It is really educational though! I had a mentorship before and was crushed when I asked my mentor how the Bloodborn concept art was made - with examples - and the photobashing techniques he showed me shocked me a little bit. Like, I always thought that EVERYTHING in art books was hand painted.
I have a question btw - in animation, there are painters that mainly focus on color keys. Is that a thing in videogames, too?
It would be great if you would do that for other artbooks/concept arts again sometime! :)
The color keys usually fall under the concept artists role from what I’ve seen. But maybe it’s changed.
i appreciate you making a video like this reviewing concept art SO MUCH because i too love looking at concept art for games and movies i love and YOU GIVING US INSIGHT into pieces and methods used in these pieces is so awesome and useful! thank you thank you!! im bookmarking the heck outta this video and re watching. it really was helpful to get an idea of what parts of pieces, both character and environment are made with what techniques :)
really appreciated this video man! wouldnt mind more stuff like this. Thanks Trent! :)
Thx for reviewing this style of concept art... It's educational hearing your insight...
Awesome video. I know you were saying you were surprised they released the Lady Dimitrescu image, I seen a reference photo of her a few weeks ago on twitter. If you search her name and reference photo you should be able to find it. Idk if they did use it or not, but it is almost 1:1. Definitely looks photobashed, liquified, and painted over.
Figured it would be cool to know :)
I always find it really funny to see the small little misunderstandings about real world locations. Like the how the RE7 concept artists initially put windmills in their concepts but the art director had to write out notes explaining that European styled windmills don't really fit in Louisiana. It's kind of like how in the original RE2 the streets of the Raccoon City are incredibly narrow like how streets would be like in Japan. It ends up making RE2 Raccoon City appear like a mix between an American and Japanese town.
I believe I read in an interview about a similar thing that happened where they initially did the concepts for the convenient store/gas station at the beginning of the RE2 Remake and they purposely made it really compact and small because that's how convenient stores tend to be like in Japan and the more cramped environment seemed more creepy. Of course, the Art Director explained that unlike Japan, American convenient stores and gas stations tend to be much, much bigger in comparison so they ended up reworking their concepts.
A lot of that comes out AFTER the first concepts. So the artists have to repaint them or modify them. What they DONT show is all of the "cut" concepts that didn't get approved. This is a very limited list of images.
29:20 Trent doesn't want to look at that 😂
Dang Trent, your mouth is full of wisdom. Thank you for the video, gives great insight on the RE8 concept art.
This is awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for video! Good comments about concept art
Trent: "oh, this is going to be a long video O.O"
Me: "let's GO!"
Love the video So entertaining and made me feel I can do concept art. I realised I have eouhg skill. Thank you
I have a hard time NOT looking down on photobashing...
I know. I had the same problem for a long time. But it’s a tool. If used properly, it’s just a time saving tool.
I’m not a concept artist by trade but I’m trying to buff my portfolio with my concept art. This really helped me get an insight into how one of my favorite studios handles their concept art.
I really enjoy listening to your analysis, it gives a lot of inspiration !
Detroit Become Human had splendid environment concept arts, I would love to discover more of these from games and movies.
really like this idea trent it would be awesome if you did this on the last of us 2:)
1:09:10 this is literally just wolnir's bonfire room from dark souls 3
Great video Trent ... A trick I like to use if using photos is to use low rez pixelated images and then use the blend tool to make the image my own while bringing it back to a hi-rez image and then paint and color over top
Hi! I am currently writing a research about concept art and concept artists and I need some answers. And I thought you might know? I can't find actual answers for my questions and maybe some of you could help me? I would be so grateful.
1. Do concept artists get credit for their work? I have understood that their work doesn't show as the final result but they are an important part of the process.
2. How can they be noticed by the public? In case they made a videogame for example.
3. How concept artists assimilate that their work will not be shown in the final product? I am genuinely interested in their/your thoughts on this matter, I'm asking respectfully ^^, thank you in advance.
I'm not a concept artist, so I don't have any insights, but I can tell you (because i want to study gaming design and therefor i did "a little bit" of research) that since concept artist sell their art to the studio, they don't own it anymore and don't have any right to claim it for credit, however in almost every game they list the names of the team in the credits and if the game has a wikipedia article or some other kind of website they usually also get listed on there.
Hi,
I worked on several games, marketing/localization/community support.
1. Most times artists have their name displayed under their artwork. Since many concepts do not see the light of day, only the more developed works will be made available through promo/art-books/in-game art gallery. If an artist designed a main character(s) there's a good chance his/her art will be displayed to the public. Many works do not get shown, but are still integral part of the overall game design/feel, for ex: UI elements, items, icons etc.
2. ArtStation portfolio/their own website/YT channel/Socials, or link to any published stuff they may have.
3. They can't. If you are starting and are not working on main promo/splash-page pieces your work most likely will never see the light of day. You do not get to dictate what is used/shown/promoted. It's best to always work on your own portfolio of original works to show to the public through #2 answer^
Regards.
@@Red_Dun thank you so so much!
@@torrentthom4734 Thank you so much!! This helped me a LOT
@@martinaoliva7130 np, but I'm glad somebody who actually knows the topic also answered😅
This video is so good. i've learned a lot just by watching
Oh wow lol. I thought they did paint alot of the photorealistic stuff. But it's just photobashing huh?
Very interesting video, thanks for making things like that
For the record yeah I’d love a corse in Photobashing. Even on your Gumroad
Very informative thank you so much
"Cadou" is "gift" in Romanian.
I love this type of video
i love the way u breakdown, share and explain a lot of information and knowledge on all those masterpiece . those all help up grow up , specially the new artist like me ( ╹▽╹ ) . thank you
This is so good! :D
love the new format
the title should be "madlad tries to convince people that Resident Evil 8 was assembled with photos - Cheating" xD jk jk
didn't you think to voice some kind of game? Your voice would look very cool in the hearthstone!
Check out Final Fight Streetwise!
tanks
Long video, loved every minute! ❤️
trent is chris redfield lmao
Curious how others feel on this “meaty” vid of Trents? I personally enjoy when he can give this much time to a video.
There is some random noise in the background, a bit distracting. or is it raining? :D
Gerçek gibi çizilmiş enfeksiyon olayı gerçekten ilgi çekici bir konu salgın teması.Keşke biraz daha gerçekçi olsa.
I’m having a rainy day! What about you art teacher? 😇💚⛈
Another sunny, warm day in california!
Heavy Bloodborne vibes
that long ass title lol
Makes me view Bloodborne concept art with different eyes.
Most Bloodborne concept art I've seen is painted. There is minor use of textures but very little photobashing on what i've seen from a cursory google search.
@@TrentKaniuga Thanks for answering Trent.
I own their art book and after seeing this I have a feeling half of it is photo bashed. But again, I am not that knowledgeable on the subject.
Would love to see you make more of these concept art videos of other video games, it's super interesting to see your comments on other games. Cheers!
Damn Flex title
Hmmmm..... Looks like this game is totally the opposite from this concept art! Would be nice to see the porfolios from the crew, but cannot find them!
Japanese game dev concept artists are usually employed for life. (assuming the company is successful)They don't need a portfolio. The idea that you have to always be selling yourself is more of a western thing because we change jobs so frequently and companies let people go if they need to save money. Thats less common in japan.
I thought this was for the Gumroad only content? I'm confused, is there some content that's only for one site or is it for all?
The real time video of me doing a Resident Evil 8 concept art piece in 1 hour is in the gumroad box.
@@TrentKaniuga Ohh ok, I'll check it out I have volume 7. Thanks Trent!!
it´s an XM4 ;D
Werewolf infection plague?
thats a lot of photobashing
Definitely not an AK-47 lol
No spoilers. I feel betrayed.
The only way he could've spoiled you was through the thumbnail and he didn't. You saw the title and clicked on it. I don't know why you would if you haven't beat the game yet.
What noisey means in painting?
I do not enjoy looking at photo-bashed images, but it's clear as day that this will be the standard soon, as more AAA games are approaching realism. This will be the death of imaginative game/world design, and industrial grade conveyor-belt art will be the norm. Best to move onto comics/Indies. What say you, Trent?
Sure. When comics pay as well as game dev:)
Arkadaşım konsept çizimler salgını anlatıyor yani.Her seride virüs ismi değişiyor yani.
Heisenberg is easily the best character in the game
I thought you actually made a comment on the concepts, not just saying they're photobashed
i did.
Trent such a poser he shows you a promo art as a concept artist.😂😂😂😂
Second place comment
Still photobashing is nasty :D fast results cheap Art book. It is like collage technics. Cringing hhhh
the pipeline for concept art for 3d models in this kind of games with thousands of characters is different as other kinds of work, in some studios, the concept artist works closely with the modeler and texture artist, the 3d guys need more the texture reference, the brushes and the tex and "mood" than the idea itself, cause the characters and the props are already modeled, or are based in things in their archives. Many images seem paint-overs, that are not the same as photobash, means that a character base is already modeled, and the art director needs to see versions or changes to approve it.
@@marinamunoz7117 I don't mind paint overs or finding quick tricks to solve technical answers for the art sake of the game... I mind calling a more like archive of art decisions and "making of" art decisions as an Art book. It is not ok to not allow the artist to refine and illustrate the final decided concepts for the Art book that would be published in his or her name. Look for how the illustrative credits of the Mandalorian gives depth and clear inspiration to every scene of the show even when the characters are already as 3D models and painted over mostly.
Thank you for this. I would be beating myself to render things for hours and would not know you can just photo bash.
