Re: Game Art Cliches
Great topic! I've struggeled with the same questions man, as a gamer and as an aspiring game artist. It's interesting to think about... in the beggining game art was a slave to gameplay and things were evolving all the time so nothing really "stuck" and became cliche, in fact game art was absurd. Just go back 20 years and… -
Re: No degree vs degree Salary
a degree won't impact your salary. the only thing it will impact is your ability to work abroad and get work visas. your salary will be determined by your experience level, quality of your portfolio as it drives how badly a studio will want to hire you, and your interview. they will most likely ask you how much you are… -
Re: EA layoffs - LA and Monreal
I spend a couple of hours looking at reasons for the layoff and am coming short.

Also, this: "Many employees are being retrained for new positions; however a small number will be… -
Re: Careers outside of Animation/ Games/ VFX
that's not a good idea. studios will not take kindly to you showing up at their office unannounced and dropping off a resume. its not like a retail job where you just walk in off the street and apply. 9 times out of 10 the hires are going to come from a friend or acquaintance of someone at the studio. I would say instead… -
Re: Hard Surface // Low-poly Creation
"Youre stuff is too cartoony" may be a less eloquent way of saying "You're not suited for us, but there are plenty of other studios that your style is perfectly suited to." Before you go overhauling your portfolio, maybe (and I'm not trying to insinuate you haven't already done this) but think about what you want to make… -
Re: Where do you get textures?
Annoying but very affordable which is a plus IMO for both studio and individuals. I'm letting you know a secret - it's only after CC that my studio can finally afford 100% licensed Photoshop for all our concept and texture artists. Same goes for all applications that now offers subscriptions. Saying my studio is located in… -
Re: Tony Hawk Project 8 Previews
Looking good so far and pretty next gen, the character models are rock solid and I'm guessing the environments are freaking huge. I just wish Neversoft was making something other than Tony freaking Hawk, I know it's a huge cash cow for the studio and for Activision but it would be nice to see the studio take another…
