Not exactly related to this post, but is there any chance the game that is currently in development will be avaliable on Mac OS?
Pfft, who wants to work with you?
I’m a big fan of dual scimatar wielding freaks with green glowing eyes who wear capes and a bloody socks. Does that count?
Does the artist really have to draw things the way Moorguard wants?
I dont know if this is the right place to post something like this but if i could get a few replies from other concept artists it would really help.
Hi my name is james, i am four-teen and i am really intrested in game development. I have been drawing since i was a baby, and now when i draw i am usually drawing characters, creatures, and environments.
and i am thinking about going to emily carr and becoming a concept artist. I am just wondering what exactly a concept artist has to do. and the steps of going from a sketch to a finished piece.
thankyou

Apologies for being off-topic here:
I’m a character animator living in Massachusetts. I understand MMO’s need many character animators. Should I send my reel in to 38Studios? I’ve been a graphics professional for many years and recently switched to character animation.
Thanks for your time.
I’m not sure if the art folks are looking for another animator, but it generally doesn’t hurt to get your name and work in front of them.
Have experience in character design and an expert in photo shop. I’ve done freelance for Kevin Smith of CLERK’S fame, check out my website to view my work.
Matt, I like your stuff!
Nice style and posing. I hope you get the gig, man!
Good luck.
