Stephan Martiniere is probably my favorite concept artist. He has been involved in many movies and video games. His work is very varied, with everything from quick sketch fine art fully rendered digital paintings. They are all extremely visually descriptive and tell their own story.
Another artist who tells convincing stories through sketching and art is Jim Mickle, a storyboard artist.
Jim Micke does a great job getting an idea across using just quick sketches and occasionally descriptions. He uses the main image of a scene to describe what is going on.
The ability to tell stories is an important part of a designers skillset. It is practically everything we do. We tell the story of a product; we tell the story of a problem someone is having with a product; we tell the story how a product or system causes a problem; we tell the story of how a problem can be solved.
