A new volume of Concept art essentials have been added to the Concept art essentials collection, if you have bought the collection in the past this is a free update, just head to your product library and download the new files.

If you still haven't bought the collection

If you are looking to purchase the collection Artstation is currently running a winter sale, so you can get the collection or any of our other products at 50% off for at least the next 24h (depending on your location).

Want to buy standalone volumes?

You can currently only buy volume 1 - 4 standalone, 5 - 12 will be released as standalone products once all volumes have been added to the collection. But I would suggest buying the collection now, as it would cost you about $25 while buying all volumes standalone at regular price would cost $60.

Hard-Surface Kitbash Vol.1

General / 30 June 2020




First update to Hard-Surface Kitbash Vol.1 has been released, This product is included in the Hard-Surface Collection, so if you are a collection owner you can go to your Gumroad or Artstation library and download it right away.

More images & DL - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/48b5N1 

This product is currently only available for the Hard-Surface Collection, a standalone version will be released at a later date


Hard-Surface Kitbash

I'm a regular user of kitbash products but most products tend to have these problems.

Overly detailed - For some this might be a plus, but in production I see this as something that stops me from using the parts due to not fitting the style or being too hard to customize and personalize.

Bad topology - Very often are kitbash parts not subdividable and are mainly meant to be background filler objects. Because of the overly detailed nature of most kitbash products they also often have very high poly counts.

Not UV Mapped - Usually parts are never uv mapped and due to the reasons above it's understandable.


So my goal with this product and future kitbash products in this series are the following.

Clean/Simple - Most of the parts in this series will be very simple and stays away from details that standout too much. instead you can use Add-on parts which is a category of parts that you can put on surfaces, adding details to where you want them to make your designs more personal. Another good way to make use of the empty space is to use alphas/brushes to further develop your design.

Midpoly/Subdiv - All products comes as midpoly, meaning you can use them as they are, 1k - 30k tris per part. All parts have support edges and looks correct with fully soft/smoothed normals. All parts are also subdividable for when you are looking for a more detailed result.

UV maps - All parts have uv maps which makes life easier in every way.

Customization - It's not always a part fits perfectly the way it is, and because of the low polycount and clean topology it's very easy to customize these parts, we have also left most middle edge loops so users can easily customize and mirror parts when needed.I

hope you try them out and give us some feedback or part requests.

First Blog Post! - (Substance Masters)

General / 09 January 2018

Welcome to my first Blog post.

I decided to time my first blog post with my first product of the year, Substance Masters Vol.1.This series will focus on learning from a mix of skilled substance designer artists, to get a varied library of materials to learn from.

Download and preview - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wVBQZ


Volume 1 contains 3 different materials created by 3 different artists, each include the full commented SBS source file as well as the recorded creation process, you also get SBSAR files which you can use as materials in substance painter. PNG,Tiff,TGA textures are also included and for artists interested in rendering and presentation I have also included the Marmoset toolbag files which were used to create the presentation shots as well as video.

For Vol.1 the work from the following artists are included -

Ben Wilson - https://www.artstation.com/benwilson

Vinicius Ribeiro - https://www.artstation.com/lowpolyman

Ilan Shoshan - https://www.artstation.com/is95

I’m currently on the lookout for additional substance designer artists that would be willing to create materials to be included in future volumes, this will of course be paid, so if you are interested or you know someone that you would want to see included please send me a message here on artstation or on facebook.
