Amazon recently relaunched video game New World: Aeternum for the best games consoles as well as PC, and it boasts a roster or weird and wonderful creature designs that mix together all manner of influences. I spoke with the game art team about creating creatures for Aeternum, but I wanted to get more insights into what the team look for in new hires, and the kind of skills they look for in artists.
“When evaluating artists, I look for strong artistic vision, technical skills, and a variety of creature designs that reflect creativity,” reflects Sojin Hwang, associate art director on New World: Aeternum. “A collaborative mindset and a willingness to learn are also key traits that contribute to a successful team dynamic.”
