Interview With Philip Straub

P.S. - That's tough...hmm, let me see...I guess it's "how do I become a Concept Artist in the game industry?" It's really the same as asking how to become successful in anything...there isn't a clear cut answer for that. There are tools out there that an individual can apply to and hopefully find success but, there's not a 3 step program.

I.A. - What advice would you give to a young talented artist?

P.S. - Practice, practice, and more practice. In order for a young artist to break into the industry they must be relentless. It really isn’t different from anything else in life, if you fall down you simply must get back up, learn from your mistakes, and try again and again until you reach your goal. I’ve said this many times before: it’s not always the most talented individuals that find success in life, it’s the individuals that work hard at their craft, constantly trying to improve. Determination is the key!
