OH I am not trying to paint any kind of picture at all. (The title of the thread is a QUESTION), and In the original post, I asked for people to tell us the studios they know of that employ full-time character artists. I don't want to include outsourcing houses, or freelancers. I simply started this thread last night to…
Where did I do that? I said there were approximately 4-5 AAA game studios in Poland. Wikipedia lists 18 game studios in total, so obviously I wasn't including non AAA game studios. And no offense to Goeddy, but he didn't list City Interactive (Sniper series) or Epic Poland. You might also list Flying Wild Hog which is a…

With ever increasing population of the world the competition will grow swiftly. But that also means that consumerism will…
Well, this thread is seemingly on the verge of flying off the rails. But to the original topic, at Zindagi, I believe there are five full-time character artists (a bit unsure because I just started there recently). A few of those guys, myself included, share a tiny bit of the load of props/environments when needed. Also,…
It may seem a little shocking at first, but there are whole regions that are completely not represented on here, and some that are not as well known to the general public here in the US, like whats going on in Eastern Europe? Russia? China? India? Korea? Japan? I have no clue, but there are games coming out of there or…
