10 questions · two minutes

1. A lecturer or art director reviews your portfolio and says the work is technically sound but lacks a distinctive style. What do you do?

2. Your character model looks great, but it’s too heavy for the game to run smoothly. How do you tackle it?

3. You join a team making a game with a specific art style, and your assets stand out from the rest. What do you do?

4. You’re working on a project with people from several countries – briefs, feedback and presentations are all in English. How comfortable are you?

5. How well do you know the whole pipeline for a game asset – from concept sketch through modelling and texturing to getting it into the engine?

6. You’re designing the environment for a game level, and playtesters keep getting lost. How do you respond?

7. For your Master’s you need to complete an independent art project. How do you plan it?

8. How important are the classical fundamentals – anatomy, perspective, colour theory – to you?

9. New tools keep appearing – AI-powered ones, 3D scanning and so on. How do you see them?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in 3D Graphics and Game Art?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Art
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.
Game
A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
Graphics
Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos, "belonging to drawing") are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage it includes: a pictorial representation of data, as in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software. Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics.
Game
It should be noted that children at play are not playing about; their games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity.
Michel de Montaigne, in Essais (1580), as edited by Maurice Rat (1958), Book I, Ch. 23.
Game
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
George Will, in Men at Work : The Craft of Baseball (1990), p. 294.
Game
All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi, as quoted in The New York Times Biographical Service (1971), Vol. 2, p. 4027.
