CG illustrations are different from game original art, with different roles, purposes, contents, occupations, and needs.

1. The purpose is different.

The original art of the game is an important part of the early stage of game production, and the original artist designs the art plan of the whole game according to the planned copywriting, which provides standards and basis for the later game art (model, special effects, etc.) production. The original art is for the development of the game, and it is necessary to maintain the unity of the game as a whole and ensure the production of the modeler and other art links.

CG illustration is to present the scene and plot described and designed by ** and other words in the form of a picture in front of the reader, so that the reader can better understand and integrate into the scene and plot described in the text.

2. The role is different.

The original art of the game is a crucial position in the art design process, which plays the role of connecting the previous and the next, and bears the responsibility of abstracting the idea of the game plan, and concretizing it as a visual character and scene, building a specific visual framework for everyone, and taking the first step in the visualization of the game. It unifies everyone's cognition, determines the direction of design, clarifies the style of expression, implements it to production, and runs through the whole product.

In the era of commodity economy, illustration has played a huge role in promoting the development of the economy. Today, illustration is widely used in all fields of society. With the increasing commodification of art and the emergence of new painting materials and tools, the art of illustration has entered the era of commercialization.

The concept of illustration has gone far beyond traditional regulations.

3. The content is different.

The original drawing of the game is to draw a character design or scene design in a short time according to the requirements, and then hand it to the 3D modeler, who will make the things in the picture and put it in the game.

CG illustration requires the content to be accurate, not ambiguous, the characters or monsters in the game, the scene is all designed by yourself, with good design ability and creativity is a must for an excellent original artist.

4. Different industries.

Game Concept Art: Game Concept Art Designer. Characters or scenes or concepts.

CG Illustrator: Art Evangelist, Illustrator, Game Map Design.

5. Different needs.

The original drawing of the game is the demand of the design, it is the setting painting of the characters, scenes, monsters, mounts, etc. in the game. It's how the character is designed, which is called the design draft. In general, such paintings emphasize design.

For example, Everest designed the Fallen King Kong in Transformers 3. Just express the design.

CG illustration pays more attention to aesthetic needs, and the Transformers 3 poster is processed by the artist more ornate and attractive, which becomes an illustration. In a sense, if the original drawing is more delicate and exquisite, it becomes an illustration.

Upstairs it's a bit complicated. As a passing industry person, let me explain.

CG is a collective term for illustrations and original art, and when you think of CG, you will think of games, and the word CG is usually associated with games, and it has a very broad meaning. If you see a promotional poster and don't know whether to call it an original art or an illustration, you can just call it CG.

Illustrations contain a lot of content, and basically as long as you post unrelated pictures on your blog, you can say that they are illustrations.

CG illustration can be understood as game illustration, which is required to be exquisite, aesthetic, and in line with public aesthetics and commercialization. Delicacy is the standard for all illustrations, and that's what illustrators are looking for.

Original painting, that is, original painting, you can understand it literally. However, the understanding of people in the industry refers to the work that serves industries such as games, film and television, and animation. For example, in a game, you are required to draw a character design or scene design in a short time, and then hand it to the 3D modeler, who will make the things in your drawings and put them in the game.

The original painting requires the content to be accurate, not ambiguous at all, the characters or monsters in the game, the scene depends on your design, and having good design ability and creativity is a must-have for an excellent original artist.

What is the difference between original art, illustration and promotional art?

What is Game Concept Art?

The original art of the game is to describe and design the world described and designed by the game planning in words, and make a specific image of the description in the form of a picture, which provides an artistic basis and guidance for the subsequent game production, and the final artistic effect of the original painting is reflected in the game screen effect.

The original art is mainly for game design, and it is a key design draft, which plays a very important role in the game flow.

The original painting requires the content to be accurate, and the characters or monsters in the game, and the scenes all depend on the design of the original artist, so having good design ability and creativity is a must for an excellent original artist.

What is Illustration?

Illustration is to present the illustrator's ideas in front of the audience in the form of a picture, so that the audience can better understand and integrate into the scene and plot described in the text. At the same time, it provides eye-catching publicity, and the effect of illustration is the picture effect.

What is a Game Poster?

The role of the game poster is "publicity". This is the opposite of the role of ordinary original paintings, and the role of illustrations is similar.

The beauty of the game login interface is different from the illustration, and the original promotional picture shows the art design of the game to the player, rather than a single situation, so there are also higher requirements for design. At the same time, in order to achieve a better propaganda effect, then it must be well-made and the picture is good-looking.

Therefore, the poster combines the requirements of the original painting and the illustration, and the design must be brilliant and the picture must be exquisite. Therefore, the requirements for artists are the highest. Some students want to do Meixuan just after graduation, which is unlikely, unless they have extremely high attainments and talents, the Meixuan designers in the game company start from the original design step by step, and then switch to Meixuan after gaining experience.

To sum up, "concept design" focuses on "design", which is one of the production instructions of the game, and belongs to things like manuals. "Illustration design" is about "drawing", and it is already a product in itself. And the "poster" is the most complete.

The original painting is not a product and cannot be directly launched to the end consumer; Illustration is a product that is aimed at the end consumer.

Therefore, their respective purposes are different, resulting in different quality of their effects. Generally speaking, the completion of most game concept art designs is not as high as that of illustration design, and it is not as beautiful and exquisite as illustration Meixuan.

If you want to engage in related work in the future, the original artist is generally affiliated to a certain company and will have a relatively stable income. Illustrations, in the form of requests, are paid for according to the size and difficulty of the painting. Meixuan, on the other hand, is usually a senior original artist within the game company.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the original artist is more stable, while the illustrator is more free, and the nature of his work is more flexible.

All drawings drawn with a computer are called CG, and CG illustrations are illustrations drawn with computer software. The original drawing of the game can be drawn by hand or with CG, but now it is generally drawn with CG, after all, it is more convenient and efficient to change the picture.

CG as long as there is a good idea to design, there is no need to draw too delicate, the original painting needs to be delicate and have appreciation value.

The tuition fee of the online class of the original painting is generally about 4000-8000, and the tuition fee of the physical face-to-face class of the original painting is more than 25000.

The tuition standards are different in different places, and you can choose according to your actual situation.
