Thanks for the insight!
Currently transitioning from my in house jr 2D art role at an indie studio into freelance 2d game art. The point about being on the same understanding with your art director was definitely a point of friction for me personally, mainly when the studio got really busy since our team was very small, with my art director having multiple roles outside of just my supervisor, found my expectations of my responsibilities are and what they actually were sliped more when they were busiest.

Thanks for the insight! There aren't enough experience stories and advice of being a concept artist, let alone from junior positions. I expect my first job would be a lot of mentoring and drawing what's asked of me. I think I ought to prepare my portfolio based on those types of work and not just my of character designs.

Yo, je trouve ton montage de plus en plus dynamique, je ne sais pas si c'est une impression mais ca me captive plus ! Et super portrait, il est tout coloré j'adore.
Sinon par rapport a la vidéo, combien de temps tu passais a tes recherches avant de commencer ton concept a tes débuts? es que ca réduit avec le temps ou tu passes encore un temps important a cette partie?

[@JariLeliveld]

Merci beaucoup! Oui j'essaie vraiment de faire des vidéo plus dynamique, je suis content que ça se remarque.
Le temps de recherche n'a pas vraiment changé en soit, c'est surtout le temps d'exécution qui diminue avec le temps car tu prends en rapidité. En général je passe un jour max 2 pour des recherches

[@amelieh_alphie]

@@JariLeliveld Ah oui je ne pensais pas qu'il y avait autant de temps de recherche, ca rassure un peu ! Merci pour ta réponse.

"Starfleet Captains... Err, I mean, Art Directors are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give what they need, not what they want."
"Yeah, well. I told my AD I'd have this environment done in a day."
"How long would it really take?"
"A day."
"Oh! You didn't tell him how long it would really take?!"
