https://www.artstation.com/jamescheaHi, this sums up my career so far as it reflects my responsibilities and experiences working in the video game industry. What lead me to this career path was my love for drawing as a kid, comics, and playing video games, just like most folks in our field. After college, I was hired by Obsidian Entertainment as an Associate Character Artist and grew to become a Senior Character Artist. As developers, we understand each stage of production has its own set of responsibilities and roles. Most of the projects I’ve worked on were through pre-production and alpha/beta periods. In the spread of these years, this would include working with different teams to accomplish goals and milestones in mind.Working in an RPG studio has its own set of challenges, with that being said, I’ve learned how to be efficient in time management and performance budget while still maintaining quality standards. I’ve had the privilege to work on many characters with the range of customization needed for RPGs. I’ve always enjoyed learning and being in the vanguard of new tech and software. To expand my 2D and 3D skillset, I find it useful to take classes in my free time. Curiosity itself motivates me to learn different approaches from other artists and developers. In return, I don’t mind sharing my knowledge or experiences because I believe it helps create a healthy team environment. As one of my hobbies, I’m currently learning 3d printing alongside traditional mold and cast. At the end of the day, I'm just a goofy guy who loves motorcycles and going to the gym whenever I can.I’ve worked in the video game industry for over 10 years and have mostly shipped titles with a few canceled projects. I’m fortunate to have worked with different teams, pipelines, genres, and game engines. There are too many stories to share but for now cheers! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Outer Worlds 2 -Avowed -The Outer Worlds
