I suspect it is just a north american recruitment drive... like BoBo said ""Art Contest" is the new "Art Teat"" think he meant `Test` but I`m happy to go on with the Teats. An environment exclusive contest is long overdue I agree.
Yeah exactly. We are always looking for environment guys just like everyone else. How many studios are always looking for character guys? Seriously and this is a big misconception when kids are in school. They think they can be character artists because of all these contests and whatever and then when they search for jobs…
This is a ploy to have your personal information in GameRecruiter's database and have them contact you about new job opportunities. Why a recruitment firm is organizing an art contest? hmmmmm.
Question, whats the difference between 1 x 2048 Specular Map and 1 x 2048 Specular Color Map which are both optional in this contest. why 2 speculars? Thanks
btw, I dont get why the hardware can't be shipped, say if the contestant was to pay the extra shipping. i mean if its a sweet tablet or ps3 its still going to be worth it right
well to be fair guys, every art director i have ever had was an environment artist. and i would much rather be an art director than a character artist. back on topic, i love the rules to this contest.... just make some shit!! haha topics are lame...
I'm with you. I wanted to do the Dom War this year just because the contest is so fun, but I could care less about characters. :( [Edit] Ohh, I'm excited to find out more about what you're talking about there Fred. :D[/Edit]
*shrug* anything that stimulates the game art community is ok with me. sure, its a rip off of the dom war, but you don't have to enter it. The prizes are legit and it just gives more people the chance to get cool useful swag for being good artists. And yes, an enviro contest would be the shinznitobamsally
