Concept Artist or 3d character artist: can I be both?

Sure. Smaller company = wear more hats. Larger company = more specialized. And I suppose, Freelance = whatever you can hustle up.

Valve has one artist work out the concept, model, skin, rig and animation for one character. It works out pretty well other than it takes them half a decade to finish a title.

I'm not sure how many companies implement that system. It's a good one, if the deadline is loose.

Hawkprey does both 3D and 2D. But he is an exception as he's the lead concept artist.

Have you seen his work?
