Art design is one of the most important aspects of video game development, with concept art playing a crucial role in the development of art style and in-game assets.

From breathtaking landscapes to beautifully-drawn characters, some artists have produced some art that is truly amazing in its own right.

Every year, a collection of video game-related art called Into the Pixel is created, honouring the greatest official concept art of the year.
