Game artists with attitude

Imagine this: You're on a deserted island dancing on a table made out of empty match boxes, droplets of icing sugar are hanging off of a purple palm tree that talks. The tree looks up at you and says: "blue houses tend to have better isolation" You: A. Run away B. Lick some of the icing off of the palm tree C. Engage the tree in a lengthy conversation D. You start sketching B,C & D's, please read on. Answered A? That's fine we're not interested in you either. Now imagine this: You're on a train doodling away. At the next stop somebody sits next to you who also starts drawing, you can't help but peek over his/her shoulder and see amazing art. You: A. Get back to your own artwork and think he/she probably has smelly feet B. Comment on the quality of work and proudly show your own sketches C. Ask him/her to marry you and live happily ever after B & C's please read on. The final story: You have been sweating away on some awesome art pieces for a game that we are producing. When you present them to the team you get a bunch of feedback and not all of it is positive. You: A. Defend your vision with a passion and refuse to budge B. You welcome the feedback of others as you believe that cooperation and clear communication leads to better art If you answered B please read on. *we realize that A has been the bad guy all along so if you figured out how to play this system, congratulations.
