1. What is your position in Masthead Studios?As the Art Director, I lead the Art Department and I handle assigning tasks to the team, keeping track of the art department budget and scheduling, as well as ensure overall quality control of the graphics for Earthrise. I am most often responsible for the visual look and feel of the creative product.
2. How long have you played computer games?I'm big fan of games for about 14-15 years.
3. How does a normal work day go for you at Masthead Studios?That's a difficult question because I do so many things. I normally begin my day with a cup of coffee which I drink while I walk around in our game client watching the feeling of the game in the specific zones, making some changes, etc. I can use most of my morning watching, controlling artwork, checking or overpainting some of the textures, checking the main character concepts, and discussing and planning specific area development with the game and level designers. I use my afternoons to make the concepts and textures of creatures and some of the biggest weapons in the game.
4. What are your favorite games/genres?I prefer FPS and RPGs. I like games like Bioshock, Crysis, Gears of War, but I'm also a big fan of Classics such as Heretic and Hexen. Hack`n`Slash - Diablo and Titan Quest are among my favorite RPGs.
5. What do you do in your spare time when you aren't working on Earthrise?I don`t have a lot of a free time, but when I do, I take the opportunity to work on some personal projects. Currently, I'm working on browser based graphical mmo`s, card games, coding, and more. When I`m not working, I also like to go out with friends.
