I didn't meant to say that i try to only learn from concept artist.Everyone as something to teach.In term of artist that i like it doesn't only limit itself to concept art .I like for example leonardo davinci for is invention drawing,peter han for the fundamental,but i try to have a large variety of artist when it come to style.I draw inspiration from universe such as D&D,lord of the ring,magic the gathering, warcraft/world of warcraft, hearthstone. warhammer, diablo, dota, league of legend, hero of the storm and lesser known title.

In term of rendering you certainly want to pass down something that is clear to the 3d modeler so making sure you leave as little as possible to interpretation by doing a few drawing that describe the object by representing it in many angle as necessary to describe it without leaving anything left to the imagination of the modeler.There also consideration to include such as drawing extra visual explanation of how certain object behave for example  =you got a folding knife so you should show how it look when it fold on itself.

One thing i am trying to improve is silhouette and shape language because it an important aspect of rapidly identifying object during a gameplay. Not only does it as as to be readable at small scale it help the player when we use strong silhouette so that important thing can be differentiate to give the viewer a visual hierarchy that help them navigate the game without an headache as to what they are looking at

I certainly understand why you talk about form but it as to be understood that my way of working start with a front facing sometime symmetrical view of the subject than once i have a few iteration on the idea i can start to put more of the fundamental on top. But i focus primarily on the silhouette first and secondarly shape language and other principle of design to solidify the rest.Once this out of the way for the most part i can dive into the more technical and detail oriented stuff like rendering.
