Listen "Problem #19: Art Direction"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we cover one of our most requested topics. Tracy and Kristian are joined by Jenn Ellis of Twogether Studios to demystify the art of art direction. We cover a number of different aspects, including how to find artists and get them onboard with your project, the different ways of communicating with them, the options you have when contracting with them, the revision process, and how to minimize the damage when the art you get back doesn't align with your vision for the project. Finally, it's important to remember that commissioning original art for your project can be the most thrilling and exciting part of the process. It can inspire you when you're at your lowest, and the artists you work with are partners that can take your project to new heights, both commercially, and emotionally (also, by "Palette, Tracy meant "Canvas"... duh!).Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/Bc9dvuzZYJThe Han Cluster® Role Playing Game Website: https://hancluster.comImmaterial Plane: https://immaterialplane.com/Twogether Studios: https://www.twogetherstudios.com/
