We could go on and on about Neville’s movie credits but all you’d really want to know is how to be a top concept artist.

Everything from his initial silhouette thumbnailing process to creating skeletal and muscle structures for conceptual creatures. Apparently a new tutorial set is in the works, in the meantime be sure and check out the following tutorials.

What a great artist! The best of gnomon masterclass in 2009 was Neville Page imo. Hope he is around as an adviser when I try to apply for gnomonschool.

Haha! :
Hmmm.. Have I’ve seen that wizzard before, or that dragon… How about something else. No wizzards, no dragons, no orcs, no fairy’s, no elves… No stormtroopers.

Great interview — Neville Page is definitely one of the top (if not *the* top) concept designers out there — always good to hear from people at that level who are willing to share what they know.

Yes, I learn something from this interview,
Tony Sasser jr

It is artist like Neville which really makes me worry if I will even make it in the Art world.

Neville’s points on portfolios were spot on, I can completely relate to what he said. Everytime I go on CA.org or any other concept/ art forum I get bombarded with character, character, fantasy, elf, ork, babe, generic speedpainting, generic speedpainting, elf, space marine, dragon etc.

It’s the guys that post the unique stuff that stands out.
