Specializing: Sci-Fi & Realism Concept Art for AA-AAA games and films.
Introduction:
Hello! My name is Arsenii Kolesnikov. I’m concept artist, working with different projects from cinematic/film concept art to gamedev and NFT, I offer a range of services that cater specifically to the needs of AA-AAA game developers and Film productions.
My expertise lies in concept design, where I bring ideas to life through compelling artwork.
Skillset: 2D/3D concept art and design; architecture, environment, keyframes, mecha, sketching, preproduction
Exp:
3 years in film and game industry
4 years in archviz (3D environment artist)
Service offered:
1. 2D concept art.
- Translating your idea into a visual concept in a short period of time (from 1-5 days). Depending on the time and volume of preproduction, the quality of the material can vary from a rough sketch to something close to illustration quality.
- It is possible to create a graphic material without deep preproduction, on average it takes 1.5 days. In this case, no edits and interactions are assumed.
1. 3D + 2D concept design.
- Designing any inanimate (for now) object to a level close to industrial design standards. The process includes meaningful research of the material in preproduction, creation of sketches of both the general plan and details of the object, as well as working out mechanisms and their action in the case of vehicles or mechs, or creating another state of the object (e.g. in time) for locations.
- This type of service also includes working out the design in 3D, taking into account the selected states with primitive animation to check the work of the design (for example, opening doors on a car, or takeoff on a spaceship).
- This type of service includes many iterations of interactions with the customer, and also takes a lot of time (from 1.5 months for one object).
1. Keyframe concept art.
- Creating an expressive composition for Cinematic movies or games based on your script or storyboard. Depending on the material and deadlines, the quality may vary. As a rule it takes me 2-3 days or more to create it in mixed technique and 1.5 days to create it in 2D. The difference between 2D and 3D is the ability to quickly change the composition or add to it.
1. Preproduction creation/consultation
- Creating a theory base for your project or consulting on them. Material for Art Bible. Character portraits, briefs for concept artists, description of the world and locations, as well as items and objects that fill this world.

About: The location of an authentic African village in the savannah. Temple design for sacrifice
The main object is the temple, it stands out in shape and color. Next to the temple there is a shaman’s dwelling on a tree, according to the idea during the sacrifices, the shaman should be above the tribe and read out his spells, so his place is on the tree. The shaman does not descend to ordinary people, they occasionally come to him for consultations. There are two places for his speeches: 1) with access to the square 2) with access to the temple. There will be a sacrificial altar in the temple itself.
Outcome: 3D scene; 2 variation of location; 1 concept art; 1 worksheet
