It's easier that a Concept Artist transfers to be a Matte Painter?

Do you agree it’s easier that a Concept Artist transfers to be a Matte Painter, whereas it’s harder for a matte painter transfers to be a concept artist, as being a concept artist needs to know much wider areas like the design of characters, fashion, vehicle, architecture, interior, weapons, gadgets, creatures, environments, etc

That’s the opinion that I hear from the concept artist who claims in the public forum. I would like to know what you guys think. Thank you!

Im not so sure about that! It depends on the type of concept artist for sure!
Matte Painters need to know more about environments which affects light, color, depth of field, perspective, atmosphere distortion etc and to mimic that digitally which is much more difficult to achieve then a concept artist because for concept artists its more loose paintings to help get the idea across.
