I don't care Ayami kojima is the first for me
Where is Shinkiro? Can't think of an artist more synonymous with fighting games as a whole then him. Also, how does Inafune only get an honorable mention when his work is more influential than most of the people on this list.
I already knew almost everyone is going to be Japanese. 👍
This was a terrible list. Fucking pokemon?
jen zee from supergiant games
Appreciate the love for your favorite game developers here, but please don't make videos like this till you research what a "concept artist" is. It misleads people about what concept artists actually do.
Tatsuya Yoshikawa
Miyazaki is not a concept artist LOL. Watchmojo doesn’t even know what it means ahahah
i agree yoshitaka amano being number 1 on this list but the video fails so hard in explaining why, hes not only a great artist, but also one of the most influencial artists of our era, even if not all people recognized him in the general public, people who works in artistic fields today almost everyone can recognize him, not only drawing style, but also the way he conceptualizes characters, fantasy characters he takes pieces from basically every single place in the world, hes fantasy outfit design is so eye-catching and flamboyantit would become a standard in the 21th century for fantasy art.
craig mullins
Soejima Should have been included imo
I don't think Miyazaki it's a concept artist
Miyazaki under concept artist? What?
I feel like watchmojo doesn't really know what a concept artist's job is
Discipes II
talks about Dark Souls
shows art and footage of Bloodborne
two whole different themes bud.
I can't wait to work with John Sweeney one day. Hes been my inspiration to do concept art since I was 14 when I first played TLoU.
I appreciate a video solely focused on Concept artists, but I think that mostly attributing the visual success of a video game to a single concept artist really underplays the tremendous effort of 3DArtists – Character, Environment, and VFX, to help create something unique and breathtaking. I can assure you that Last of Us' beautiful environments are greatly in part of the prowess of the environment artists, painted rendition of an already realistic scene in game. I think people really misunderstand what a concept artist does – though to be fair, their role can be different studio to studio.
Akira Toriyama 😀
Yoji Shinkawa is probably my favorite on this list. His art is so unique and beautiful, and contributes to one of my favorite game series ever.
5:22, bro, did y'all really credit Konami?
WWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW Guys how cant a top something video game artist not mentioned the name of SPARTH Nicolas Bouvier????!!!!! Halo? Destiny? C'mon
missing many famouse videogame artist illustrators…….like daigo ikeno, akiman, kinu nishimura,thoshiaki mori aka shinkiro, kawano……..you mentioned some vidgames illustrators it's incomplete this documentary……..
HOW CAN YOU FORGET CRAIG MULLINS?
Artist for the first 6 games, shows final fantasy 7 and 10 😲
Seriously, no Adam Adamowicz.
Um…Hidetaka Miyazaki isn't a concept artist.
This is the closest we'll get to being able to transmit thoughts to reality
Where the f is CRAIG MULLINS?! ACSHAKABVSHAKAKANANDBJSKAKAK
Miyazaki was a concept artist? I thought he was a "programmer" then "director"?
I'm glad yoshitaka amano is on the top of the list. he deserved it.
I would say Chris Metzen was much more Important to Blizzard than this other Dude
Amano in the #1 and Nomura only a honorable mention?? ahhhh the good smell of angry fanboys of Nomura.
There's also Alessandro Taini: Heavenly Sword, Enslaved & DMC
no SHINKIRO????!!!!!!
OMG MISSION FROM GOD BLUES BROTHERS OMGOMGOMGONG
OMG MISSION FROM GOD BLUES BROTHERS OMGOMGOMGONG
How could you put the concept artist of metal gear series as number 2, while putting the creator of pokemon and dragon quest as number 3 and 4 ?????? they each have provided game culture with more than he did…
I completely agree with this list!
Although most well known concept artist nowadays – many mention in the comments – have indeed contributed to the industry of videogames, most of them where tribute after the well know Japanese character creators like Amano, Toryiama or Yoji Shinkawa made a huge impact! Their work influenced not only other artist but other videogames that's why they're on the list.
DEEPLY INHALES FINAL FANTASY FOR THE WIN
I like Joe Mad on Darksiders and Tetauya Nomura on Kingdom Hearts
RIP Kazuma Kaneko.
6:21 Just WoW
We're on a mission from god
YEEEES YOSHITAKA AMANO !
Akihiko Yoshida sensei
I'm so happy John Sweeney made it onto this list, he's one of the best artists in the industry. One question, where my boy Maciej Kuciara at? He's an actual god at concept art
Kinu Nishimura
WHERE MY NIGGA ADAM ADAMOWICZ AT??? (REST IN PEACE)
