Hey guys,
We've publicly posted our 2012 IllFonic Art Test. This Art Test is given by me to candidates I feel have a lot of potential. Right now we're looking specifically for senior positions and not jr. or entry level. However, this Art Test gives jr and entry level people the ability to prove they have the knowledge and skill level of a Senior tier artist. This is part of our new plan to hire high end talent (that are paid very well too).
I designed this art test based off what i'd like to see on a candidates work. While some artists have banging portfolios, ive found more times than not, artists will often lie or over exaggerate some things on their portfolio. This especially targets how long it took someone to make something (which means more than how high quality you can get) and what exactly is your art in a scene full of other people's work too.
While it certainly is a demanding Art Test. I've received an art test of the almost exact same demand (minus specific instructions) from another AAA studio.
The project we are taking on in the immediate has a visual bar set to look better than the Samaritan demo from Epic games. So i'm not messing around with hiring. Some artists have such an exceptional portfolio and track record that an art test is not even needed.
