I don't want to say too much, so I'll just leave it at this:
Getting contacted, out of the blue and without any application, by your favorite game studio for a job opportunity is one of the best feelings in the world. No matter what happens, I know for sure that I've reached the ambitious goal for myself when I taught myself 3D years and years ago. I'm not even worried about it, I'm enjoying the moment.
In an effort to genuinely not sound arrogant, it's a very humbling, yet really exciting experience and opportunity, and it's even more awesome to know that I'm only getting better and better as time goes on. My first industry job, man that day I was so excited, but this? I have no regrets
Without Polycount I wouldn't be anywhere near the talented artist that I am today, and I love this board.
you guys are awesome
Time to do some awesome art

That's so awesome dude! Best of luck and congrats!
I am so pumped up and already have some great ideas in the works. I wish I could share it with you all but I don't think that would be a good idea
And I will most certainly update this with the results when it happens. Have to get some more concept work in before the work day starts, so off I go.
@Perlinfalcon DUDE internship or not that's FANTASTIC. My first job started out as an internship only getting 800 a month. I now have salary and benefits
@SouthpawSid lol, I have every intention of *not* fucking up
Congratulations and good luck ^^
edit, i 2nd the notion of sharing your folio atleast
+3 on showing the portfolio
I have lots of critique for my own work, but I suppose that's best left unsaid lol
Congratz! This is awesome indeed. Best of luck! and I have to say I really like your stylized characters.
Good luck and congrats.
also is it a joboffer or an arttest the requested?
So, pulling 12 hour + days at work during the entire test didn't exactly help me get this done haha
I'm exhausted, but I got it done and submitted on the day I said I would (ok a couple minutes after midnight). I'm pretty distraught about all the extra things I wanted to do, the few things I could have done better, and wishing I had time to polish up others, but overall I think given the circumstances I made some pretty fantastic art. If you guys like my portfolio, you will definitely love what I made for it. It's *miles* ahead of all my portfolio by far. I learned, SO much about myself, their style, and I think this test really will improve me and my quality for everything I do in the future, and that's pretty fantastic.
I'm sitting here zoning out at work, hoping things go well, so could use some thoughts and wish me luck
Anyone have any pro tips about submitting an art test that just didn't meet your own personal standards due to time constraints? Do studios like it when applicants have a critical eye for their own assets and pretty much say "This is where I went wrong; the piece is great, but these areas could have been better for A,B,C"? I have confidence in my work, I'm proud of it, but I know where I could have done better. I'm still very much green to the industry, so any tips on this issue would be MORE than welcome
Nice! Good to hear you've put in a lot of work. Best of luck! Hope you get the gig!
P.S.
In the past sometimes (if I had enough time) I've done a second pass on the art test to fix the things I didn't like and then send it again with a quick message thanking them again for the opportunity.
@PixelMasher, man I wish I had done that...That's great advice
@artquest, I had considered that even before I sent it...I don't know if I'll have any time this week to adjust any things, but if I do I most certainly will do that
I have inquired to see if it's acceptable to post my assets at Polycount; a friend was telling me that since no NDA was signed and there was nothing stated about not showing it to anyone, that it should be acceptable to post, however, as said before I'd rather find out than overstep my bounds. If I'm allowed to post it, I will do ASAP and drop the link here
aaaaah I'm so excited
was just excited about getting an art test so I came here to celebrate lol
I think your original post is pretty clear about the situation, very exciting though, best of luck!
I usually print my tests out on standard a4 paper and mail them it. Everything hand written to add that personal touch, so they know I'm not a robot or something. I'm paranoid like that.
I don't normally get a reply.
Hope this helps! Congrats dude and good luck. Oh make sure your wearing a smart suit for the phone interview. Dress to impress!
Phone Interview went, SUPERB...I know most people feel that way, but man it was really fluid conversation, laughing, compliments and critique left and right, things felt very very easy and I really feel like everyone had a great time. I even got a response from my follow-up e-mail that it was heard it went well
is my bumping of this thread annoying? If so I'll stop until things are official either way, I'm so excited I can't contain myself!
seriously, Thank you everyone for the kind words and confidence builders! I can't wait to share more details with you all. Polycount has had such an impact on me and I hope I can eventually give back what you guys have given me
