CONCEPT ART MENTORSHIP
COMMITMENT & EXPECTATIONS
If you are accepted in the Mentorship, We work with you for as long as you need, until you get a job,
The only thing we demand in return is that you build your portfolio in less than a year. One year is more than enough if you’re serious. This is not an online class where people disappear after a few weeks. We stay with you long-term because we actively connect top students with real studio opportunities. Studios come to us for trusted, production-ready talent and we only recommend artists who have proven they are serious and reliable.
- Everyone who joins the mentorship is here to succeed in the industry. We don’t accept everyone, we make sure you have what it takes, and we are ready to help.
- We’ll build your portfolio together, piece by piece, with guidance for every step of the process.
- When you get in touch with studios, we help you prepare for every step of the hiring process.
Benevolent, Win-Win relationship between Mentors and Students
- This is a supportive but high-expectation environment, you’re pushed to reach your full potential, build an outstanding portfolio, and dramatically increase your chances of getting hired. You get what you came for, and more.
- In return, your success directly strengthens The Art Nest’s reputation, which brings more studios to us looking for serious, production-ready talent. That means more hiring opportunities for you and future mentees.
In short: when you win, we all win.
This is why many former mentees who have landed jobs now actively support the next generation inside the community to elevate everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Around 5 and 8 hours of work per week for the homework.
The video course is delivered to you on every Friday so you have the time to watch it and do the homework as much as possible during the Week-Ends.
This way, even with a job on the side, it is possible to follow along.
The group sessions assume around 30 mins per student. So on average these should last 3 to 4 hours. If you have to leave, no worries, these are recorded.
Yes ! And available as replays almost immediately after they are done !
Here are our requirements :
1/ You are close to junior level or already a professional
2/ You have strong 2D fundamentals and you know how to draw
3/ You have a good culture about games and the media you want to create
4/ You are coachable, you are working hard and able to follow instructions to the letter
5/ You have a good work ethic.
We work very long term with our mentees, so making sure you are a good fit is a crucial part of our process.
All the communication and Group Sessions will happen on Discord.
The Video Course and sessions replays will be available on Systeme.io
There are 2 sessions per week : one on Mondays, the other on Thursdays I'm running 2 classes in parallel each of these days, one from 1:30pm to 5:30pm CET and the other from 8:00pm to Midnight CET.
This allows us to cover everyone's availabilities and timezones. You can join any of these that suit you best and you spectate the other if you want.
English.
A microphone, an internet connection, and preferably a webcam.
For the work, just your usual gear and softwares
We understand that unexpected events occur.
If you happen to miss a session, don't worry, you can watch the replay and we will make time during the next session for you to catch up.
In the event of multiple absences, we will work together to devise a suitable catch-up plan, provided this benefit is not exploited.
It depends on how much time you have available every week for your portfolio.
Some former mentees able to work full time on their portfolio managed to make it in 3 months.
Some other mentees, working a full-time job, took 6 months to craft their portfolios.
Bear in mind that while we can help on a lot of aspects, building your portfolio and your motivation are 100% your responsibility
This mentorship is focused mostly on portfolio building rather than pure technique.
HOWEVER, If you work hard, you will level up A LOT, more than in a lot of purely technical courses.
Of course this is a side-benefit of our method, and the Before-After pictures you've seen above should prove more than enough how our mentees can increase their level if they work diligently.
While the mentorship is Job-Agnostic and could easily be transposed to any artistic role in the Industry, we currently work solely with Concept Artists and Illustrators.
This is our expertise and we want to ensure anyone in the Mentorship gets as much value as we can possibly give them.
Absolutely!
This is why we have a team of specialized professionals doing feedback to the mentees after the 5 weeks and helping you develop your style and specialty, regardless if it's realistic, stylized, character or environment.
This happens quite frequently as our dream jobs are often very high-end companies hiring only seniors.
While there might always be some exceptions to that rule, it is crucial to accept that as part of our artistic journey, it is part of the process to find some companies hiring juniors, start there and keep working on our professional journey by applying the same framework explained in the mentorship.
Exactly as you did for that first job, you apply the framework again for the next job, then the next one, then eventually your dream job.Again, it is all about perseverance and doing the work to become the perfect candidate for that company, and this is exactly what this course is about.
Totally !
Actually around 40% of our current mentees are already professionals when joining it, and these are the easiest and fastest profiles we can sort out successfully.
Additionally, the mentorship will likely help you increase your rates.
