Re: Unpaid Art Tests - Why is this even a thing????
I should point out that none of this happens until after a face to face interview (over an hours worth of conversation) which comes off the back of an internal portfolio review (30 mins with a couple of people usually). The test is only ever set if we think there's a decent chance of the candidate succeeding and… -
Re: Why do companies keep refreshing advertisements for positions that aren't available for employment
I've had a positive experience working with studio recruiters when I've had the opportunity. As far as agencies go I don't know any save for a few 3rd party recruiters that may find something freelance from time to time and usually for generalist positions as far as art goes.

Re: What do you consider a "cliche" model?
I would add some: 1. Audi TT models. These were really popular a few years ago as the basic shape was easily replicated with few tools, making it a perfect "tutorial" car. 2.

How to communicate with art contractors?
Just looking for any tips or opinions here. In past when working with other artist, I usually try to just explain goals for the milestone, guiding principles, and then leave the artist alone so that they can have the joy of independence and creative freedom. This mostly doesn't seem to work except for with a few heroes. It… -
Re: Junior Character Artist
