Well yes of course but still the ideas come from the mind of Lorne Lanning and the artist interpret the words into pictures. All producers and directors have a team of artists with them but the ideas originate from the producer or director first. He is the one who needs to write the whole story out and come up with the idea first before any conceptual artist can visualise it on paper. Its not only artist drawing for a producer it involves writeing and all kinds of other important things before the conceptual work is to start. It actually involves research for the artist before he could go ahead and draw. Balieve it or not a lot of the art is based on actual things in are world and then the artist goes and interprets that into his or her own little world made up. Munch is a perfect example. Hes based on a frog and a shark. That was all researched before the designing went in. The result as we know is something rather profound. This is the job I am working towards mainly. I want to be a conceptual/ StoryBoard Artist myself someday and I am on the right track towards a career in this area. So I know a ton on how the process works in this field of work. So your right Xavier its the other artists work but what I am saying ultimately it's Lorne's idea on where the artist got their work from. All producer or directors or writers are considered artist too. Thats what I ment by that.
Here is an example a friend of mine right now wants me to do the conceptual work for a little home made animated movie he is makeing which will take about a year to do. I told him sure and now I am actually waiting for the script so I could research similar things then I could go ahead draw him my ideas. Its similar to that. Mainly what I am saying is its starts off with him writeing everything down then comes the research and then comes the art work. But it begins in the writeing.
