Judge feedback

• Contestant: @HRH307 Assessor: Tristan McGuire / @draconic_cowboy Tier: RS Congrats on submitting your project! I understand that you faced unforeseen challenges, so I’m glad that you still decided to submit your work. Things that went well: ✧ There is a huge amount of research (it’s actually overkill). ✧ The concept iterations are nice. Things to consider next time: ✧ I can see from your writing that you are passionate about world building. This is awesome, but it is not what game artists do in their job. If you are serious about wanting to be a game artist, then I would save the extensive world building for a hobby, and focus your studying on art. ✧ As this is an art competition, not a design competition, the quantity of research was actually overkill. For any future art competitions or art assignments you do, lean the balance more heavily on the art. ✧ In games, we pose our characters with the arms down by the sides at about a 45 degree angle, not way out to the sides. I would encourage you to look at examples of real game art online to see how it’s done. ✧ My main point of feedback is to keep going! I can see you’re near the start of your journey - so of course there will be lots of points for improvement. But don’t be discouraged. As you are in the Rising Star tier, I hope this feedback can be used to inform how you approach future university projects and I would love to see you take part in the competition again next year! You can find me on the social medias in the link below. Feel free to reach out in the future. All the best! https://draconic-cowboy.carrd.co/ - Tristan, Deputy Senior Character Artist at Airship Interactive.
