3D for 2D Workflow *(Do you use 3D software to create base layers/blockouts for your concepts?)No, strictly 2D painting.Yes, I use Blender/Sketchup for perspective/lighting blockouts.Yes, I use ZBrush for character silhouettes.

Defining the "Visual Bible" *Our game requires a unique fusion of Indian Architecture (temples, intricate carvings) and Gothic Horror (dark atmosphere, jagged shapes). How would you approach creating a "Style Guide" to ensure 3D artists don't just make generic fantasy assets?

Feedback Methodology *A Junior 3D Artist submits a model that is technically correct but "feels" wrong stylistically. How do you deliver feedback?I write a detailed text list of changes.I take a screenshot and do a "Paint-over" (Draw over the image to show corrections).I jump on a call to explain it verbally.I provide reference images of similar assets.Other

Handling "Stylistic Drift" *Over a 2-year development cycle, art styles can accidentally change (drift). How do you ensure the assets created in Month 1 look like they belong in the same game as assets created in Month 24?

Pipeline: 2D to 3D Handoff *A common issue is 3D models looking different from the 2D concept. Describe your workflow for supporting the 3D team (e.g., do you provide orthographic turnarounds, material callouts, or lighting keys)?

The "Soul-Infused" Magic Aesthetic *Our magic system is based on "Psychic/Soul Energy" rather than standard elemental fire/ice. Visually, how would you concept this? (e.g., specific color palettes, shapes, or ink-like textures to differentiate it from standard RPG magic).

Technical Constraints Awareness *As Art Director, you must balance beauty with performance. If the level runs at 20 FPS, what is your first step to optimize the visual direction without ruining the look? (e.g., Reducing texture resolution, cutting dynamic lights, or simplifying geometry?)

Legal Age Confirmation *Are you 18 years of age or older and legally eligible to enter into an independent contractor agreement?YesNo
