These breakdown videos couldn't make me happier. The way you explain concept art makes the already great art feel even more masterful.

I've absolutely no interest in becoming a video game concept artist, but this is so interesting. I always really liked the mix of natural and synthetic looking materials in Starfield. I think it says something about the people, kind of rough frontiers folk, at the same time as having those technological advancements.

I love the long format. It gets me hyped while working on my own art. I like how you talk about design, but also give insight as to how the artists render their work. The technical tidbits are like little nuggets of gold. Always love your videos and tutorials!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb3dOFcECKQ&t=2057">34:17</a> Something fun about this piece in particular, is that it's used as in universe advertisement for a movie! I can't remember the title exactly, but it's related to the Narion War IIRC, the first major space war in the game's lore.

I’ve been onboard the Starfield train since before the game was out and adore the art style and concept art for it. I got the Starfield Visual Compendium a few months back and I look at it all the time lol. Great breakdown!

Wow thank you Trent, really insightfull stuff and I love seeing the passsion that come through in this video. Please keep doing videos like this they're really intriguing and demystifying considering there seems to be a lot of misinformation about what concept art really is. Would you consider having a look at darksouls in the future? I would love to see that from you.

I've enjoyed Starfield from the start and am really looking forward to the update. Love the concept art book as well. Wish more studios released their concept art work.
