Concept Art Website Research

 

Concept Art Website Research

Here i try to disect some of the concept art websites i found. Some are particular concept artist websites  and others that are working as a hub for concept artists to showcase their work and art related news.
The websites usually work on a very minimalistic matter, a main page, a biography page, a portfolio/work one and usually one that leads to a variety of ways to contact the artist or social media page links. Most of them allowed you to slide through a showcase of main work and the most original one i found was the personal website of Julio Bencid. He made it in such a way that viewers had to slide sideways, but regarding the originality of that it made it less functional. The images it could show were always about 2,5 with one of them being cut in the middle and it just felt like a bad alternative to the others. The wesbite template i enjoyed the most was the "sections" one, The option to have a multilayered  site where the viewer can pick and choose what to see really appealed to me. It also gave a more clean and well arranged look to the website.

In this research i found many websites, however the ones i present above are those that i liked the most. Within them i found some similar key features.
