      We've been working with Nasty Rodent since 2014 - and that says it all. On the Skies project, they delivered an entire 4 km² location with full content: props, buildings, NPCs, mobs. They took the task and just got it done. High quality, on time, no fuss. This is a studio you can trust.

        FAQ: 3D Environment Services

        3D models of sci-fi solar panels shaped like mechanical flowers

        What is concept art in game development?

        Concept art defines the visual language of a project. It sets the foundation for 3D production and helps teams align on vision and mood.

        What types of concepts do you create

        Characters, props, environments, vehicles, weapons, UI elements, mood paintings, and production blueprints.

        Do you support both realistic and stylized styles?

        Yes. Our artists adapt to any art direction - from painterly fantasy to photorealistic military concepts.

        Can you match our existing visual style?

        Yes. We study your references and previous work to deliver concepts that extend your existing universe naturally.

        What tools do you use for concept art?

        Our concept art pipeline blends 2D and 3D workflows. We use tools like Photoshop, Procreate, Blender, and 3D kitbashing techniques, combined with real-time engines such as Unreal and Unity to build atmospheric scene blockouts, lighting setups, and paintovers. This allows us to iterate quickly and deliver high-quality, production-ready concepts

        How much does concept art outsourcing cost?

        Pricing depends on the type (character, prop, environment), level of finish (sketch, colored, final), and number of iterations required.
