Submissions for Environment Art positions must include a cover letter, resume, and portfolio URL (or physical copy). Portfolios must be accompanied by a shot breakdown: work objective, elements you personally created, contributions from other artists, and the software/techniques used.
We prefer to review portfolio materials via the web. CD or DVD portfolios are also acceptable. Physical media should be labeled with your name, email address, and the job opening to which you are applying.
The ideal portfolio is focused on your strongest work and clearly demonstrates your ability as an environment artist. We strongly encourage you to include examples from personal projects in addition to professional work. We can judge your design abilities more clearly if your portfolio contains original hard sci-fi or fantasy themes, rather than cartoony or derivative works (modeling from photo reference, for example). Please select the smallest number of images necessary to demonstrate each project.
