If you want to be doing concept art, don’t waste your time studying 3D animation. You want to study illustration or some other art form that is mostly made up of drawing and painting from observation and imagination. None of those degrees is going to help you much, unless you wish to first start a career in animation, effects, game design, or game development.

The game development might briefly cover concept art, but chances are it’s going to be a footnote. You need to find out what these curriculums cover.

About degrees: the degree you get won’t matter. It’s the education that you get that will matter. So find out what education is going to teach you to draw anything and everything from your imagination.

Also, you might be interested in the “games industry” link in my sig, for specifics on games industry jobs.
