As Art Director of an external team, I've directed the production of a large part of the game assets such as:
- Concept arts and 3D models of all buildings for 5 civilizations out of 6 (Franks, Byzantines, Saracens, Teutonic Order and Kievan Rus)
- Concept arts and 3D models of all Hero characters
- Concept arts and 3D models of most vehicles, war machines and exotic mounts
- Icons and Portraits of Heroes and Units.
What did I do as Art Director (outsourcing):
- Reviewed briefs, identified potential issues and estimated time budget
- Coordinated game vision and expectations with client’s Art Director and communicate it to the team
- Provided additional references, sketches and paint-overs to the team
- Identified problems that could affect gameplay and proposed solutions to solve them
- Reviewed the work daily for quality and visual consistency and gave artistic and technical feedbacks
At the time of release, Age of Empire Castle Siege was the #1 grossing game on Windows phone 8
