CONCEPT ARTIST- Environment

Description

I sometimes wonder about the minds that create the characters, gadgets, attributes and environments that are in video games… I mean really!! Who are these people and where do they come up with this stuff?? How did they know what a Lombax or the Chimera look like, and what their environment is like? Why do they think that huge ears, multiple eyes, lush green plants, and spaceships are the answer? But the great thing about this spot at Insomniac Games is that these thoughts are expected! Crazy creatures, insane gadgets and incredible surroundings all are part of what make our games great!
