Matthew Koo is a concept artist and illustrator. Originally from the Bay Area in California, Matthew's artistic journey began when he was very young and began pursuing concept art in college. He is very experienced in both digital and traditional forms of illustration, with a wide understanding of different mediums. Matthew has worked professionally in book illustrations, card artwork, concept art, and much more.
His most recent project is adapting the science-fiction book Blindsight by Peter Watts into concept art for a potential videogame. His character designs for this project take aspects of retro machinery and design them for these characters’ body modifications. The world of Blindsight is set in the near future, where body upgrades and modifications are a normality. He did not want the robotics that he designed to feel too advanced. He wanted them to feel affordable and “factory-made”.
