ABOUT ME: I'm an old-school game developer - so much so that it's likely the projects I've worked on are older than most people here. One of my first jobs was working for Task Force Games, and I developed and programmed a number of BBS doors back in the day. Having been out of the loop for quite some time (as well as most…
Yea, it's definitely difficult to give an exact expectation of what qualifies for a jr character artist. The best we can do as industry seniors is to give our own personal experiences. I would not expect a junior to do everything from the get go...that is just ridiculous. Ideally, you would have a mid level or sr mentoring…
Black Desert Online has a lot of really cool looking features like this, I really think it has the potential to revolutionize the MMO genre as a whole. As for why this feature is as detailed as it is, my guess is that it has to do with the fact that gamers from asian countries (who love F2P more than anything else) also…
Hey there, This is my first post in the community trying to share some of the work I am currently working on. For my final year personal proyect at Teessiode Uni, I was creating a 3d Character based on the 'Lost Boy' world by Ash Thorp. http://www.ashthorp.com/lost-boy Here there are some pictures of the development…
@chemotoledo yeah some characters are around 7K while some others are over 12K if I remember correctly; It just depends on the complexity of the champion. Also, I'm sure you know this already but you can look on Lolking.net, they have all the champions models; you can't see the wireframe but it's quite easy to guess how…
Yeah make a section for 2D if you can. I dont hear about character artist positions very often and junior positions seem even more rare, I wanted to be a character artist when I started learning game art but joined a small indie studio making mobile phone game art and that was a great way in and Ive learnt loads over the…
For an upcoming series of casual / arcade games for mobile platforms we are in need of 3d animal character models. The games will be similar to "Crossy Road", "Down The Mountain" etc. We would need (at least 10) cute / cartoon / stylized animals (wild / pets), but the main focus is a monkey who will be the main player…
Hi Polycount: I'm writing up a draft of 2 Cover Letters for two separate game teams at a large development studio, both Character Artist positions. Part of my confidence going into this is that someone from said company, who I met originally at SIGGRAPH this year, told me to apply now even though I was still in my 4th year…
I heard that as a character artist it's good to have an example of a work based on a concept art. So I searched on Artstation for some good concept arts and asked for permission, but no one replies to me (apparently really good concept artists just don't visit Artstation that often)... Then I thought that I'll just use a…
Hi guys, I'm the character artist and animator for Puny Astronaut, a small game studio based in Scotland. We have been working on our title 'Skye' for around a year and a half now, and in that time we have spent many hours pulling our hair out to get it just right! Recently we have been encouraged to share our progress as…
