Reminds me of John Harris's work. Amazing stuff. Do you have any tutorials or stream at all I would really love to learn how to paint like this!

thanks! john harris fan here!

also the key points to concept art are:
do a sketch, or several ones for a subject and choose the best one
(do a lot of general sketch compositions, try to crop, composition is key)
don't be afraid to redo it or do a completely new sketch if not good enough

then proceed for the big color masses in the general color(key color) of the things you are painting(no detailling, never detail)

when pleased by this rough image and you think that it has potential, proceed to refining it (that will take the most of your time)

think of different planes, foreground, middleground, background (the closer to the eye the more contrasty and saturated things are, reduce contrast and saturation for background to bring depth)

think of an imaginary light source, paint accordingly , try to paint volumes, don't use white rimlights, paint them in the colors of the lightsource and fade them into the objects
don't paint things, paint light.

paint a lot
