I was designated as the Art Lead after we completed our Proof of Concept, and the first thing I did was start creating the Art Style Guide Document. An almost 30 page document, I went into detail on the specific style inspirations and what specifically I'm pulling from those styles, color themes for levels, the way textures should be done, etc. I provided as much information as possible for all the artists.

As the producer created tasks for the artists in our Clickup, I also provided photo references for different props to guide the artists on a good starting point, and what specifically we were looking for each of the different props. When it came to environments, I worked with the designers and created the concept art, and provided feedback throughout the entire environmental modeling journey to make sure that all assets were consistent with our style, and that they adhered to what the designers needed out of them.

My main duty as Art Lead was daily feedback; we required consistent updates from everyone on the team, so whenever an artist would submit their current progress on a model, texture, animation, etc. I would respond with feedback, both what could be changed and what I believed worked well, to help guide the artists for better practice in future tasks based on previous feedback.
