I was hoping to get more into concept art, but I don't know exactly what I could do some concepts for. So I was wondering if you guys could give me some ideas. I really want someone to come up with a description of a video game that would be good to design concepts for.

You want to be a concept artist but you can't come up with a concept by yourself?

Please tell me you see the irony in that.

XD True, I'm having an art block and basically the creativeness is getting sucked out of me at the moment. If someone gave me a synopsis of a story, I could design characters, backgrounds and such.

Pick your favourite sci fi or fantasy novel, do that.

I dunno, whenever I try to think of stuff like that, I think back to all the games I play and how they could be different/better, different story, improved mechanics/gameplay, etc... pretty soon my head is overflowing with stuff :P

what i do is close my eyes listening to some kick ass music and imagine a movie/game scene that fits the song with some characters and environment. Then focus one of the things you just imagined and try to refine it and finally draw it. Always works for me when i cant think of anything.

I have the opposite problem :). I have about ~100 really awesome concept ideas written down with 1-3 added every day, yet i currently lack the artistic talent to properly bring more then a very basic thumbnail to paper.
