The job wich is there(Lead Character Artist of Games) what skills do i need?
If i study IT it will be ok for that job?

Answer 1

You need some art background, or raw talent, and some skill with assorted programs and programming skills.

Contact a local Community College, and they can probably give you a listing of the courses that they would recommend for the position. (And, if you're interested, how much it would cost, and how long it would take.)

Before you ask, yes most companies will not seriously consider you unless you have the right mix of talent and skills plus education.

Answer 2

For the position of Lead Character Artist, you must have:

- 5+ years professional game development experience
- Shipped titles as a Senior and/or Lead Character Artist on PC or console (PS2/ PS3/ Xbox/ 360/ Wii).
- Experience developing original IP from conception to completion
- Extensive experience and proficiency with 3D Studio MAX, Zbrush (and/or Mudbox) and Photoshop
- Expertise with current graphics production techniques
- Outstanding drawing, design and conceptual art skills
- Strong 3d modeling and texture mapping skills

I would say that you can't get it by just studying IT. Instead, you'll need to learn how to use the 3d StudioMAX, ZBrush, and Photoshop like they ask.

Answer 3

You definitely need to be skilled in using a major 3D modeling and animation package, such as 3DS Max, Maya, Lightwave, ZBrush, etc.

For artist positions, a portfolio of your work is more important than your resume. You need to show them that you have the artistic skills they are looking for. So make a portfolio of artwork before you even consider looking for art positions.

Answer 4

You have to be very driven. Always remember to make eye contact and to speak clearly so the other person will understand you. Be very briefy and detailed. Never inform the interviewer that you currently going to school, but let them know if you have something really "IMPORTANT" that you will need that time. If you can work around please do so. Many employers what to know that you are loyal and dependable. Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Speak to them in terms of what they want. Show how you're what they've been looking for. Contrast yourself against their desire in employees. Show them the perfect match.

Answer 6

if you don't even know what the job consist of or what is going to be required of you then chances are you're not a likely candidate.
