Environment Artists & Art
There are many environment artists in the world, all with vastly varied skills and abilities who use what they have learned to develop environmental art for computer games and films, these specific types of environment artists intrigue me in particular and there work is similar to the standard that I would one day like to produce. Personally I want to go on to model 3D environments and concept art greatly helps in the production of 3 environments, it works like a set of instructions, detailing what exactly needs to be created.

Game Artists
Below are some game artists that particularly intrigue my interest.

Scott Homer

Scott Homer is and established 3D artist who has created many 3D environment for games, which are very appealing to me and will influence my FMP.

Below is some of Scott Homer's environment artwork for the game Crisis 3, an extremely successful game playable across most platforms.

Scotty Brown is another even more so established artist who creates 3D environments for games with great skill, a 3D environment artist usually works with a concept artist in order to get ideas fro what to model and where to lay things out within the environment. His particular type of art is different to what I hope to end up with when I finalize my FMP.

Below is some of Scotty Browns work for the game Army of Two, whci was very successful and playable on multiple platforms such as Xbox 360.

Wiktor Öhman is another successful 3D environment artist, he creates very appealing 3D environments as you can see below, some I would use for inspiration in finalising my final product.

Photographers

Frans Lanteng, Ansel Adams and Yann Arthus Bertrand
Three successful photographers of environments such as volcanic environments are Frans Lanteng, Ansel Adams and Yann Arthus Bertrand who I recently discovered in a visit to the college library. They use methods of photography to capture significant images from all around the world which will inspire me greatly in my FMP.
Below is some of their work and a list of the books they are from.

"Life through time"
By Frans Lanteng

"400 Photographs"
By Ansel Adams

"The Earth From The Air"
By Yann Arthus Bertrand

All of their artwork below I will use as an influence from my FMP as they
are all photographs with a very similar theme to what I would like to have
at the end of my project.
