Roundtable:
I’m a twenty-two year old artist with a keen interest in a wide range of creative fields. I’ve gone from working in digital 2D to exploring 3D a whole lot. I guess it’s mostly because of my interest in the future of 3DCG cinematics.
I mean, if GPU rendering technology continues to progress, you’ll start seeing indie developers who are wanting to make a cinematic, too. This is why I don’t want to be a 2D-centric artist, I want to be more like Ash Thorp – he’s someone I like to think of as a true all-rounder. Now, this might make it difficult to categorize what I do, but you won’t see me fretting about it. I will always be inspired. So long as I can keep looking to Blur Studio, Digic Pictures and Square Enix to remind myself of what can people have achieved in this industry.
Question: Why Do We Follow Trends?
I want to ask something about trends. It seems rather prevalent for aspiring artists to follow styles and trends too closely.
I’ve seen a lot of stuff that looks just like Naughty Dog, Vitaly Bulgarov and so on. I’m wondering if this is stifling creativity in our field, or if it’s actually a good thing to follow these popular trends so closely.

Why is it taking forever?
We’re glad to let you know that we’ve got five new interviews in the works! Now, you might be wondering, “Why is it taking forever to publish a new one?” And the answer to that is simple. Because of the requirements we have, the artist always has to write very in-depth answers to make the interview educational and worthwhile. We want you to walk away from each Vox Groovy exclusive feeling enriched and motivated. We ask more about the ideas for video games, techniques and processes used by AAA studios, or even artists’ stories from working for game developers.
These are sensitive questions. They take a lot more effort on the artist’s part. In some cases, the answers have to be discussed with the company’s PR department, too. Please, bear with us and stay tuned for a series of quality interviews for any concept art aficionado to enjoy.
Jean Brice Dugait
Jean Brice Dugait is a freelance concept artist living in Montpellier, France. Over the years, he has worked on many successful video game series like Assassin’s Creed, Crash Bandicoot, and Rayman. Some of you may remember our last interview with him, which we published in 2016 after his work for Ori and the Blind Forest was first shown. We spent a while discussing that particular project but never had a chance to get to know him personally. This next interview will change that. Today we’re happy to announce that a new article with our old friend Jean is already in the works.
