Concept art is one of the earliest stages of game development used to help artists and designers visualize the overall look and feel of a game. It is important for all artwork to be reviewed to ensure it perfectly matches the intended descriptions of characters, environments, and other elements. For example, characters in World of Warcraft like orcs and trolls must be drawn to match their descriptions. Once complete, the concept art is used to create 3D models bringing realism. Younger gamers are more interested in concept art that appeals to them over historical art, helping those aged 12-18 understand art and careers.
