• Thorough and organized, allowing you to work within ambitious goals and to see a project through to its end within given deadlines
• Understanding of technical Pipelines and all the processes required to make a game
• Ability to take feedback and willingness to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams

    It was missed because you were missed @bengoshi

    That and anyone who was looking to apply might have kept the information to themselves so less people would apply and have a better chance of getting the job.

    I would apply, but I only work in 1D. Clearly not what they are looking for.

    I wonder, is it for Siege of Dragonspear or for another project? I saw quite a few raw diamonds amidst these forums if it comes to area making for example.

    Yeah, unless they're looking for crummy animu pencil drawings, count me out too. ^_^;;

    Oh man, this sounds awesome.

    But, I am not too familiar with the required art programs :(
    And I doubt my style is even what they'd be looking for and in two weeks I'll be going back to school, so I won't have a lot of time on my hands.

    This kills me.
