But once the artwork is upto speed wouldn't they see him as more than a QA/production runner? I currently do QA as a side gig to freelance and it is the only job that gives the flexibility to actually do art on the side. Maybe its because its 3rd party, though not sure what it pays would cover living in LA. I have a…
Wow, would you guys like some cheese with that whine? I think I have some. It's called ass cheese, and there's a whole plate of it here for you. I made it fresh. First, the intent of the original change to US copyright law that allowed unregistered works to be instantly copyrighted was to give you more time to file a…
If there's no real work experience to compensate for this one still has to do some extra convincing in the interview stage (is the applicant mature enough to take directions and work with others?). Maybe they'll need to pass a test to make the hiring guys sure that their folio and chop's legit. Anyhow ohnein if you get…
[ QUOTE ] It's not as easy as it seems, i could tell stories about that. [/ QUOTE ] We all could. We've all experienced production nightmares. I've had to deal with many different hands of cards as an Art lead: I've been provided with artists that were just plain truly abysmal, artists on my team that couldn't paint for…

Like if I saw your portfolio and said "You're only as strong as your weakest piece." It would be after taking a bullet to the side of my…
Well Bobos post really made me think differently about the themes I had before. Made me think of all the cool projects we would all wished we have been a part of, to try the style atleast. Im lucky working at a specialist character outsourcer that I come across tons of different projects every year with their own subtle…
Yeah that's the article. The is a few there though covering similar topics. You don't need to be an expert or even understand the science at the root level to make great art though. So long as you get general principles and know how to find answers should you need them you are set. I'll add one counterpoint about…

well you might heard that Ascaron went bankrupt again, and it illustrates very well how the general german game scene stands. I know one previous co- worker of Ascaron and he has no bright stories to tell how working there was. Lucky for him as he left them on the right time and founded his own company. At times they…
