Andy Costovici

I am a props, vehicles, and interior environments concept artist.

I specialize in sci-fi and mechanical designs, but I also worked in other settings... My main focus is to create production-ready concepts that are clear and precise in order for them to be properly modeled and textured in the future. I try to keep geometry as readable as possible. I often make use of 3D in the process, especially when the subject is geometrically complex.

I was formed through a mentorship with a professional concept artist who taught me the skills needed in the entertainment industry, more specifically the video game industry. I always loved engineering, and at some point in my life, I had to decide between pursuing a technical career or being an artist. I chose the latter, but I try to honor my other passion through my work! For each project, I do some research and try to find new and believable solutions for each problem.

I also worked as a freelance 3D artist in the past, and I learned production 3D modeling and texturing skills. Even though my passion is concept art, I still make use of those skills in my process. I also have experience working with Unity and Unreal Engine, and I've been involved in every step of the pipeline, from the concept art to the in-game implementation. This taught me how a small development team works and what it needs from a concept artist!

I've been working freelance for a year now, on a variety of projects. On a side note, I speak fluently French, Spanish, and English (albeit, with an accent!)
