From Crysis to The Last of Us, acquired concept artist Marek Okon

I’ve Got You (close up): A cover image from Marek’s Illustration Unchained tutorial series

Marek Okon is a freelance concept artist currently working for Marvel Entertainment and Infinity Ward. His past clients include Thunder Road Pictures, Capcom, Warner Bros. Pictures, Naughty Dog and Legendary Pictures. He also has created illustrations for Games Workshop, Applibot and Solaris Books. He designs environments and characters, and creates promotional illustrations and high-quality development assets. Outside of art, he loves cooking, travel, spending time with family and playing cards with friends.

Key art for Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us

He always liked to draw, but didn’t think seriously about painting until pretty late in life – the end of his college years, and that's why I define him as an "acquried master". But he was determined, and spent countless hours working in Photoshop with a tablet. Fortunately, thanks to the internet, he had access to amazing tutorials, and tons of information about painting. To his surprise, it didn’t take long before he was paid for his illustrations: first for some book covers for a local publisher, then album illustrations for Privateer Press.

Big breakthrough happened to him when he started working for Crytek on Crysis 2. It was the first big videogame title for him and first chance to work with the amazing Maciej Kuciara（a very famous concept master）. It was a start of a friendship that has lasted until today. His illustrations for Crysis 2 ended up being displayed all over the net, which led to a rollercoaster of awesome clients and projects.Then he started working for movie studios and spent a year in-house at Naughty Dog, which was one of the best experiences of his life. Now he's trying to enjoy my family a little bit more, especially his two-year-old son, who is picking up painting himself … mostly on walls and tables, but it’s a start.

"I don’t think there is anything better than inspiring other people. I got a tremendous amount of positive feedback from my tutorial series, Illustration Unchained, and it really got me pumped to do something similar in the future. I know it’s a cliché, but it’s really great feeling when you get the chance to impact other peoples’ lives in a good way."

Morek's advice to other artists

1.Skill in software

Aside from “practise more” and “work harder”, I have to emphasise the value of knowing how to use 3D software, even at a basic level. Working in 3D will open your eyes at many things related to creating volumes and shapes, light and shadow, and how different surfaces react to light. It’s a game-changer for anyone interested in being a professional artist. Also, practise more! And work harder!

2.Storytelling

I always tried to let the story show through in my illustrations, but recently I kicked things up a notch and I’m trying to create my own story and my own IP around it. It’s a very frustrating process, especially since I suck at writing, but I think I’m getting closer to something that can be shown to a broader audience – that is, somebody else beside my wife and son, who seems to really like my silly stories.

银针穿棉绢缎语, 金丝交错万古鸣。待字闺中宣女意, 织此遥寄望情郎。
辉映扶桑琉璃彩, 帘动罗幔珐琅瓷。悉⼼之一刺红露, 弄影叠霜绣飘摇。
