I'm currently building a "Art Direction Beginner's Kit" presentation.
It is aimed at new #artdirectors but also #gamedevs that are building a game and would like some help in organising this fairly big task!
** What would be your most pressing questions you'd like answered in this talk? **
Please boost for better reach and help :)
@bl00dberri I know very little about the art side. But I've wanted to put together some pitches, and have no artists available to help.
Would/could this cover themes, reference material, etc? I'm shooting from the hip on this, not sure if it fits into what you're asking.
@ChadJessup Yes I do talk about this :)
Though I think the first installment will be a bit general since there is so much to cover. I'll think of a way to cover this with enough info, either with a second talk and/or perhaps accompanying material 🤔
@bl00dberri general is fantastic! I don't even have the vocabulary to ask the right questions.
I'd love to see what you end up with!
@ChadJessup Your question was already pretty spot on :)
btw I don't know if you've seen my first pres on treatment and medium but maybe it could already provide you with pertinent info :) It's archived on Youtube
I'm Gen and I’ve been a #gamedev and #gameartist since 2003 both on indie and AAA projects. I've worked in almost every art related role (pixel art/chara modeling/concept/ui+ux/environments etc) and have also been in lead/director positions for a large part of my career. If you're curious, the most notable games I've worked on are, among several, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Rainbow 6 Siege . With those (few…) years under my belt I’ve arrived at a point in my life where I’m hoping to connect with more people, mentor newcomers in the industry, and also share and discuss #gamedevelopment + #gameart + #artdirection insights and key learnings acquired during my career ❤️ As for the content on this channel, it will revolve mostly around building an art direction for games, and related topics. While I do approach the topic from this perspective, the talksthemselves are broad & pertinent enough for anyone making games and curious about the art side of it all :)
