A concept artist designs characters, vehicles, and environments for use in video games, movies, and advertisements. A concept artist typically works as part of a team that develops all facets of fictional settings for entertainment. Concept artists create background scenes, matte paintings for union with real-life footage, and even entire worlds. Basically, any non-existent or impossible-to-film scene needs an artist to create the specifics of characters, settings, or objects. This is not to rule out artists who also re-create historical periods on film—another large component of concept art.
