Game art design, a subset of game development, is a process of creating 2D and 3D game art for a video game. A game artist is a visual artist who creates video game art, such as concept art, item sprites, character models, etc.

History[edit]

In early days of game development, a single artist could produce all backdrops and sprites for a game. In mid-1980s a team of at most three people would work on game art. Starting early 1990s art requirements increased substantially.

3D artist role became prominent around 1994–1997; before which industry was prominently 2D art design.

Overview[edit]

A game's artwork included in media, such as demos and screenshots, has a significant impact on customers, because artwork can be judged from previews, while gameplay cannot.

Artists work closely with designers on what is needed for the game.

Tools used for art design and production are art tools. These can range from pen and paper to full software packages for both 2D and 3D art. A developer may employ a tools team responsible for art production applications. This includes using existing software packages and creating custom exporters and plug-ins for them.

Roles[edit]

The art production is overseen by an art director or art lead, making sure their vision is followed. The art director manages the art team, scheduling and coordination within the development team. The art director must also make sure art produced by different team members is consistent within the game. A team may also have a lead artist fulfilling day-to-day management of the team.

An artist may be responsible for more than one role.

The artist's job may be 2D oriented or 3D oriented and there are several disciplines involved.
