coral power

hears the start of my coral droid in zbrush.. loads more to do to it before i exsport it back

creativity 4.... it starts

I have decided in steed of just trying to figure out what creativity is, I'am going to try and decipher what make my creativity tick.... so to speak.

I will start of with what I now see creativity as, and then move on to trying to figure out the way that I'm inspired and why it inspires me... and what i hope to achieve with my creativity.

I think creativity isn't a state of mind or a part of you that thirsts for imagery in every thing it sees..... this is not right because if it where so then artist would never leave there house they be on the computer searching for imagery and would never leave, so I think that it is a sort driving need that keeps you going to create the best thing that you can and the 1 law I have all way agreed on with art is what my dad has told me since i was young is that you should never be happy with your work, because it is never done and once you think that you have achieved what you set out to do, then you have no more to give and that is why I am all ways unhappy with my work..... I guess that it is more of a way of life than a way to do art.... but none the less I live by that reasoning and it might be the answer that I'm searching for the reason behind my creativity but I don't know yet so I will keep searching for my creative path until I am sure of what make my brain or my heart give out what it does, and I will also look in to the different things that inspire me......!!!

I went to look at my home town the other day and it is a dismal waste of human interaction upon are earth, and this made me think that its not the town or the people in it that feed my creativity but the surrounding area in which i have grown up in and the things that
I have seen, I know there are sheep out here in wales and that they are bouring.............. its not the fact that the sheep suck, its the fact that the surrounding area inspires me to create some thing and in an area like the one I live in there is peace and you can listen to yourself and really get the idea down because you don't have no people, no cars and no fools walking around talking shit...... just the sound of a river slow and steady and a fire burning away in front of you.... I know I went of subject but its important stuff because I hope to find in my roots the key to my creativity, I don't know if what I'm looking for is there or not, but its a good place to start looking....... the past.

game city

aaaaa.... the game city thing good times......


right now game city was great fun, we did loads of things and had a great time, where shall I start....at the beginning I guess,

when we arrived in Nottingham we didn't realize the what we where getting in to, me and Tom LI shared a room and we had a laugh when we found out that are room was one with 2 double beds.

Tom rubbing his hand with joy,
that night we had to go and find out what we needed to do for games city, and meet the heads in charge, they where all cool guys and gals, after that we went to the gallery to see what work was there an if any of ours was, a small amount was on a screen jumping from image to image, and all the other work was shit.

but i meet Jon Burgerman and we had a long talk about creativity and about his art style and Wipe Out Fusion that he had just done the art work for, he went off to get ready for his speech and I looked around to see everyone getting steadily more drunk, which was fun.

after that me and Tom Li went for a siggy and we meet an ex-writer for edge magazine and he introduced us to the editor of edge magazine, after the gallery we went to the pub across the road , i forget the name of it where we where told not to stay late because of work and such the next day, did we listen ........ . . . .no!. we proceeded to have arm wrestles for a while and even got the Floyd (one of the heads) in to it. after which we then got really drunk, and started to shout random French words ... ha ha, nice to which a French guy came up to us because he thought we could speak French. to which i was so drunk that I was trying to worn him of Chav's and people of there nature. we stumbled back to the hotel and went to sleep.

the first day of work was interesting because when we got there I was chosen by Floyd to dress up as Darth Vader for a photo shoot so it could go in to the papers the next day so I was like OK that sounds cool little did i know the suit was intensely hot and i was dripping with sweet by the time i was done any way i went back to work on the square with the large screen, playing, Wii tennis after a while i started talking to all the tech guys in the back of the giant screen van...... what this is stupid u can only upload 1 vid thats not good...sorry....!!
the tech my god..

basically are job was to talk to people about games and to look over certain consoles and controllers and stuff like that,

that night we went to the party.

the next day and this was the funnest day out of the lot, because there where......



loads of stormtroopers and we had to take them down to the square because they cant see to good and it was well funny because people where freaking out all over the place because of them, and watching them playing Lego Star wars was class as well. Darth got owned only because he couldn't see very well. and when where taking them back Vader shouted in the street, Darth needs beer, .....well class ! !



so i got them to get a group photo of us guys and them....I have not the Patience for righting this blog so this is the first part of game city.....

crativity no.3

I have learnt more about creativity i was of the under standing that creativity was of 3 parts but now i have come to think that it, more of a state because there will be day when you can draw and days when you can't and this is a problem for artists every where, so I have the creative wall smasher....TM....

only joking..... I have seen what my creative insights are and it is a desire to be inspired by a something, this is a problem in Leicester because there are little things to inspire you in this day and age in this country.

take the amount of things that could inspire you like buildings, people and wildlife..... OK so these are the factors within the city that we have to work with and there not good in this area, i know that a artist can work with any thing that he sees but when you have what we have to deal with you turn to the Internet to try and inspire you in to crating something, but still i need more I thirst for inspiration and come up empty handed.

I do apologize for this creative blog because I'm not thinking creativity at this time but i wanted to put this down some where.....sorry....

not like it matters no one looks at my blog...so...ah well

creativity is not a state of mind or of body it is a unique talent that can dwindle like a flame if it is not feed, and that's what I mean, I need a look of something inspiring to motivate me to work and work well and not pitch stupid ideas, I like ideas with a good amount of detail and construction because i like things to work how they should..... i don't know any more........sorry.....

creativity no.2

I have thought about it some more and all though I stand by what I have written in the post before I need to address some things, creativity is more than a thought that comes in to your mind, because artist musicians and scientists have the creative side, ok scientists work on logic but they work to a aim that was not there until they started the project, much like drawing we make are project out of research and give it a name at the end.

I would also like to say that there are 3 pieces to the creative mind of the artist:
1. research is a large part of what you can imagine because the mind needs fuel for the fire, to create a new image you need to know what you are creating by doing research is a way of narrowing the images that are filtered through your mind and focusing the final out come.

1. developing the control of what the mind sees , and what it wants to see this is a problem because the mind is like a wild animal that we need to make domestic to be able to see what we wish it to see and not what are mind wants to see.

2. putting the image on to paper this is hardiest part because I need to train my mind more I have a way of doing things, because I never get 1 clean sharp image just loads of different images I compile them and take all the good points from say 6 different designs and join them together to create my final out come

thats the way i understand it.

oww the reason I like detail in artists work is because they have a focused mind and can create an image from there mind in complete focus now thats skill.

creativity no.1

owww.. to me creativity is a kind of insight to things people would not normally see. I would say that creativity is a big part of being an artist, to be able to create a character or a scene in your head and to be able to put that image down on paper. I would say it is a gift/ability that few people have developed and I do believe that everyone has a chance of developing this gift/ability, most people have the ability to imagine things objects worlds when they where kids but most people let it wane and have only a head of facts and logic, then there are the people that let there imagination run away with them, and it changes them in to a fusion of logic and imagination(they usually go mad). Then theres the artist who can control there imagination and use it to create things that are not the norm, thing no one would think of, whether its a design of a new product or whether its a dungeon that trolls live in.
all I trying to say is that an artist is in controls of what he sees in his mind and of what goes on to page, and with more training he/she can create a more focused image a clear definition of the image in there head.

thats my definition of creativity....but thats not what this blogs about, I intend to gather enough information on creativity to give me a better understanding of what creativity is.

the dictionary describes creativity as: imaginative or inventive, not much help there...

tort

this guys class

worst week ever

last week i was stuck in a field in the middle of Wales, for the worst week of my life (I have had some bad days but a week of shitty farming culture and the worst job imaginable) cleaning toilets I know... I know.... what scum would do this job............well me because for 6 days work 6am to 10pm of sitting on your ass and drawing clouds and playing monopoly and at the end get paid about £500 whats wrong with that.

But NO....
this was the worst year ever because not only was it during the crazy amount rain that we had last week but the field out side my toilets was a river of mud .... constant mopping ...eaaarrrrr.
so that made the work hell not to mention the amount of crazy farmers there are in wales, this year had all decided to put there caravans next to my toilet and insult me every chance they got.........like mopping takes hours in that mud.. so when you get near to the end of mopping a whole toilet block so crazy farmer will come in say"yor fightin a lossing battle thur" then walk right to the other end across your mopped floor.... Kill farmers..Kill them all......now go!

if thats not bad enough for you then every night you get back to your tent and have a nice single malt whiskey... then a fight would brack out and you have no chance but to try and ignore the sound of evil all around you, and this happened all nights except 1.

and then just to top the biscuit on the last day I had all my art equipment stolen from me, and hagakure the book of samurai code...... it pissed me right off....yea crap week.

although it doesn't read like a really bad thing think how many poo story's I missed out .


i remember why I posted this blog was to say that I found a tank at the show.........

Task 24

I really like the course i think its great, but there are some things that need to be sorted out like the lack of creativity within in some of the students i think that looking at films will help us and we also need to be thought how to mod games and how to understand the game engine's, I think it would be a good idea if we had more of a drawing class because our one is short and i also think that a 3d workshop would be good to gain the understanding of how things work.

thats it the blog system is great never seen anything better, and Joel's class is very helpful and so is Chris & Jack's drawing class but we need more time with all the tutors to gain a better understanding of how things work,

I will keep writing blogs over the summer and thank to all of you!

Task 22

I am going to write about the conference with Peter Molyneux about Fable 2 because I liked the first Fable game and this one looks much better so far, there is a minimal amount of information about it on the net I can only find out about the dog that there bringing in to the game.

I will tell you why I am looking at fable 2 because of the amount of creativity thats been put in to the game and the fact that fable was a hell of a risk to take in the first place, it was like this because Peter Molyneux promised more than he had with fable, he said your character will grow you from a child and that it would be free roaming but it was not and the public was not happy...... I even think he was sent death treats.

But this time he is only aloud to talk about features that are going to be in fable 2 plus he has tryed to restore some of the things that where not in fable I like the fact that he still trying to give the things that he could not do before and he has made fable 2 more impressive that the first because it is free roaming there more weapons and armor a bigger land and you get a dog at the beginning of the game and it actually acts like a dog.


Theres a lot of things that i like about fable the fact that all the people have British accents and the fact that you can you emotions to tell people things , I like that fact that they've taken this further with fable 2 in the fact that Peter thinks that its not the ending of that game that makes it a momentous game its the feeling that you get when you see something truly worth completing or doing something tedious to gain a feeling of worth.

Task 21

I agree that the blogs are there to exercise the mind so that we can use are mind to the full extent of its ability's, I also understand that the fact that its not all about teaching but about reflecting on the work that we have learn through out the course, I believe that I have acquired this level of ability but I also believe that there's lot more to improve on.

I think that I am going to archive a vast knowledge of 3Ds max and a improved drawing skill plus a degree I want to go as far as I can in the industry because I want to make an incredible game, but I would as so be quite happy drawing concepts or making 3D models but if I had the choice I would choose drawing for games because I like drawing and I also like drawing and redrawing the same character to get him to look perfect I like that and its all part of development in my book and I also hope that I could be creative in my job as well but that’s not always an option with a job is it...

But this is my choice to down this path and I worked to hard to going to give up now..
and I will work until I can get a good job that reflects my creativity ...
I so pose that I've always wanted to work for lion head studios because I realized that having your own art style is important, so I decided to not draw any manga because its just copying an art style that’s from another planet ........ I know you think I'm crazy any way I digress I decided that I should draw in a British style of some sort because I British and that makes me tied to the style and custom of this country and that’s why I want to work for lion head studios because the only British company that makes British games with British humour and a certain sense of creativity in the fact that they are one of the only company's left that try to do something different with game to try and push the bar.

Task 20 Creativity

In my opinion is that all people can be creative weather it drawing, wrighting , art directing and maybe even programing. but in my opinion creativaty is some thing that we all can do its just making a object,person or story that has never been done before I think this is easy to do but it takes time more than anything because when I get an idea I have to keep refining that idea other wise it will become not the image in my head but a freek and then that would wreck the idea and give me some sort of crappy non unique character.

see the way that I create a character gives me a range of things to do I draw the basic character then do research over the net to gather inspiration to help me mold the character, after I have gathered enough I will draw 3-5 character and review there good and bad points and the combine all there good points to make the character I want, if there are any parts on the character that do not pleese you then you have more research to do.

you want to know what creativity looks like.... creativity has no form until its refined here is an example of what it looks like after the refining process
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=4491
scroll down the page and check out one of the video's.

I would show my creativity by the amount of effet in my work because I like doing creative things, I think acknoledging other peoples work isn't a problem its the fact that the work is created and you can see if its going to be a good design from the start, but weather they refine that idea propaly or not is another story because as I've already said the part that make it truly creative is getting the proper idea out of your head and working it until it is perfect.

quote: lack of satisfaction with something, and confidence in our capacity of changing this. People who accepts things as they are, will never produce a single atom of change.

this is my point of view and I live by it NEVER be happy with your work, my dad taught me this and it has helped me no bounds, the thing is I don't know many who think like this to them its do a drawing and thats it..... NO do a drawing wright all the things that are wrong and the things that are wright and then do the drawing again. I thin because of this method I have improved my drawing skill with each drawing but its not enough I can do better with every drawing I have done.

You see by thinking like this as soon as I finish a drawing I know I can do it better there fore driving me fullword and making me better at what I do.

creativity in games can be included in every aspect of the game but rarely is its usaly seen in characters and levels but its hard to see with in games because the creativity in the game could be realy good but is let down because of the programing, but I think they try less now days because its all about making money so they'll go with something tryed and tested, and this brings a problem because game wont change much if people think like that. I have been keeping an eye on a certain game because I like what they tryed to achieve but could not.

the game that I think is one of the most creative apart from Big Little Planet, its Fable and Fable 2
I liked Fable although it was easy I liked the Britsh humor in it and the fact you could use emotions as well, its things like this that make it creative it trying new ways of doing things and new concepts that make it creative.

Fable 2 should be a good game... I hope , I know that they have give the main character a dog that looks pretty smart, and the fact the if you choose to be female at the beginning you can get pregnant and have children......It looks interesting.

Task 19

this is a tough one....

the thing is that neither are right in my view because each company will want a slightly different thing, see I read EDGE magazine because it is the best games magazine out there, and the other thing is that it all ways offering jobs in it and they usually ask for a degree and a knowledge in 3DS Max or MYRA and if you have experience in the industry then that will help but its not required, having a liberal arts background would be good for some companies giving them a higher quality but something like that can only be achieved by half a life time with in the industry working out all the little tricks that we wont even understand at are current level.

but that’s just what they put to get applicants I would imagine that you would need a degree but I never seen any one asking for one, even on the net I have never come across this.

I think that I would be able to get a job if I worked hard here and learned all that I can, also if I could come up with a creative characters when I wanted I think having these qualities would get me the job, oww and of course working in a team.

I also think that games company’s would want a creative artist and this would help me to get a job as well as my undying desires to do better than others on the course that are not like that most people are but some just don’t care at all weather they do good or bad but I must succeed or die trying.

The way that I see it is that if they want some one creative with liberal arts and amazing skills, there hire me…. Only joking they want someone to design something for them and if they want some one with tones of max existence they want some one who can make models quickly and detailed so they are both right but for different prepossess.

Task 18

Game music is it important.....
YES

If you think that it doesn't matter weather games have music or not, then my question is what games do you play. In my opinion the games that lack in music aren't even going to get of the ground because even if you don't notice it there are a huge part of the game because it... its like this, the senses that we have are touch, sight, smell, and hearing we interact with the character through the controller and his touch becomes ours, we see the game through the T.V. or P.C. giving us our sight in the game world, I know we can't smell things in games so I'll move on to hearing the sounds of the game world give you a sense to make up a hole world in a game you need all there’s things.

the sounds in games are becoming more intense with improvements like 5.1 systems and other things setups like this can enable you to hear exactly where you enemy is firing from and in some cases you will be able to here the bullets fly past your head, sound in games is very important.
The thing is that not all games have music but most do the ones with out music usually have a series of different atmospheric noses to give the player something to think about like in horror games if you something rustling then you panic its all about suspense and trickery making the player think there’s something going on.

The best music that I have ever heard in a game is the metal slug songs through out the series of games, I like metal slug music because it is well composed I would put a link with a track at the bottom but I can't figure out audio blogger. I like the music because it give the player a sense of importance I think that every song is completely different I like this because the metal slug music is very fast paced and up beat because the game is so frantic, but that’s the way I like it.
The music keep you going through out the game keeps you motivated to kill your enemy's, The second best noise in a game is sonic gulping air that’s comedy.

I bet the picture of sonic takes you back.....



no they did not all though I can't find much on it they didn't do it compose good times I mean.

Task17 Game Engines what, who, and how

A game engine is like the inner core of the game it dictates the graphics what objects do haw things react and the physics of the game it self with out the engine there would be nothing more than a bunch of random objects from the game, I would like to know and understand the game engine because they all have to run in a some what similar way.

I know that game engines are not the same but if I could learn one that would give me a good building block to expand on and increase my understanding of how games work, because I think that it is a need to know type of thing and I would like to know how its done.

with the increase in games, game engines are now made to a simple standard giving the other people on the team an easer job to import the data in to the engine and configure it to a appropriate standard because the game engine has set limitations within its configuration like the amount of ploys on a single figure for example.

the thing that I like about game engines is the fact that they are entirely editable within the engines parameters, If I know haw the worked then I could change parts of a game and the engine would do nothing to stop me. The other thing is if you know what you where doing then you could change the script of the game completely this would enable you to do just about any thing you want, ..... nice.

As we progress with game engines they are able to take on larger amounts of ploys and are able to incorporate more complex maps, shades and filters like normal maps and secular maps and a range of different lighting technology these things are important to get more photo-realistic graphics.

Task 16

I think video game culture is all around us, Its like this the people on the course are a huge part of the culture its not about your choice in games, its the fact that you will argue to the death about something pointless like why this game is better.

I would also say that after a night out with people from the course we'll go back and play games at 3am. The thing is that games are a huge part of are lives now even more than ever and I don't see it as a problem there will be people who do because they don't understand games.


any way.... that’s my opinion...

I would say that I was a part of many different games cultures not just because I play games but because I live for game (not in a romantic sense), games culture is about being not just a player but a investigator of the game it self. Lets put it this way a gamer will go out and buy a game so they can play it and only play it and then discard it, but a true gamer will explore the game to the fullest, they'll go around the game look at the scenery and the world and they will be able to see how much effort has gone in to the game they are the only ones that will be able to tell weather the game is good or rubbish.

games occupy a huge part of my life if they don't what the hell am I doing here.... HELP!!!!!!

I joke I laugh ... ok they are a huge part of my life I love games because the best characters come from games and only games in my opinion and this I why I want to work in games because its way cooler than any other profession films are not the same because the characters are generic and boring the closest thing to the creativity of games is cartoons because u can do any thing with a cartoon but u can do more with a game.

I have only real time friends people that I have meet in life I don't know random’s over the internet because how do u know there not lying and that’s a problem for me I hate liars.

the top game

hay what up...

I decided to post a blog about my number 1 game...



because I can add images in to blogger after sorting out my computer.

I will tell you why I love metal slug so much because I hate the fact that nearly all games are becoming easy and I don't think that you get your moneys worth, I think that this is a problem the games that I like are the games that most give up on. I love hard games because they reward the player not with a cool character or a weapon, but knowing that only a couple of people have completed it.


When most people play Metal Slug they think thats its repetitive and theres to much going on that they can't see how to control the character through the battle.

The thing is that Metal Slug has little to no story line, this is a good thing because there is no need in one, all though it may look repetitive it isn't because there are a lot of thing to keep you interested while playing, like the level lay out cool guns and vehicles to get in to and play with
or being turned in to a zombie or a mummy or a monkey, ow and the fact that there are crazy bosses and battle fields all through out the game.... epic stuff !



I also like the artists who designed the Metal Slug machines and other creations they all look cool.

Task 15

I think that the industry is going from strength to strength and I couldn't be happier the only problem is the fact that the small job are being out sourced and this gives the main designers to do better jobs in the game now that seems good but the out sourced work comes back with problems because the out sources will cut corners and this will waste time to repair it before it can be used.

the thing about the industry is that employees are still there but it different now to back in the day when you had 10 people working on Toejam and earl to a building full of people running around try to get Toejam’s voice changed to sample A123........ any way it changed because of outsourcing that means that you work force is split because you can't keep an eye on the out source’s in china or some where.

I would think that there are many challenges at the moment because the new console release is a problem for each company in the great console race, but what I think is the main problem is the fact that what’s the next step how can they advance consoles more shore you can make the graphics better but that’s not going to be good enough in a couple of years when the graphics get to a level of fake realism then they need to make it feel real. (that’s just my opinion)

TASK 10

The character in a game is a crucial thing if the character doesn’t fit the game the player will lose interest in the game with in a short amount of time, I’m very picky in games and I will only play game with a good characters in them and decently a good main character is needed or a good villain.

I don't know how to answer that.... erm.... the thing is I don't read often only when I find a good book and I hardly every read for story I read for fact and I like films if the story is good I don't have a emotional link to the characters in film or books it's the story that counts..... and don't say what about lord of the ring I HATE FRODO.

I think that some things in films and books make you feel a certain way and some thing do in games mainly the desire to kill...! ha

But in games the people that your talking about are virtual and don't apply because if you don’t like a character in a film it could be his crappy acting that makes him bad where as in a game its not the acting its the bad dialog and the poorly done actions for the virtual character that’s why I have no feeling for games characters.

In that note I still like certain characters from games I just don't care weather they live or die.
There are tones of characters that I like, like Alundra, Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Master Chief Earthworm Jim, Siegfried the whole of Fable and Sonic of course.

Task 11 What The Hell Is Game Play

Game play to me is the way that the character acts the way he’s animated, Its also the things in the game that keep you coming back to play more like mini game and other little way to make you look better than any other person playing the game, I guess you get a feeling of accomplishment and this is what I believe makes game play the feeling of accomplishment against other not just people but characters as well.

I think that game play can be put in to games but I would say its rare to see it any more people are hard to please and this is the problem with game play at the moment I think that game can be built in to the game but its not easy every thing needs to be right to have good game play the levers need to just fun run or driving around.

game play is very important if a game has crap game play the player won't know whets wrong and will give up on the game straight away the better the game play the better the sales and it around longer and may make a sequel.

I think of no way that’s game plays a set of rules a game can be what it want an one made nuttier will love it (there’s all way 1) but if a game is unique with something new it may not matter because the game might not have good game play and some will take that idea and use it again but do it right. people have been copying things for ages and some one will all ways in the end do it right.

TASK 9.. Governing Control

My favourite controllers is the nice simplistic of the mega drive controller with the joy stick because the controls where so simple that you could master your character in a couple of minutes look at sonic the hedgehog easy..... but no more because we have progressed we can no longer use retro controllers any more and the games are so much harder.

The most comfortable controller is the Xbox 360 it looks nice and I have not come across a problem with it yet, The seconded best is the original Xbox controller I like this controller because there are hardly any people who like it and so if I’m play games with friend it ensures me a controller, At number 3 its playstation controller with its copying off other controllers it has some things right and some things wrong like the l1 and r1 buttons there as badly placed as the z button on the game cube.. Pathetic. In number 4 its the Xbox smaller controller I know its ok.........wrong the grip is comfortable but the start, back, white and black are in a stupid place and cost valuable time when fighting in game. And In dead last the pathetic Game Cube controller this is a stupid idea its like the car that Homer makes in the Simpson’s the colour scheme is bad and the passions of the buttons is laughable..... Its like bop-it.
The best looking console is the Xbox 360 and the wii comes second game cube looks stupid and the play station has the right look for what its trying to put full word.. actually they all look good in there own right the game cubes a kids console and that’s whets its trying to advertise, this applies to all of them like Playstation is a black tower like object the black colour signifies that its evil and that would advertise to teens the evil tower... ha.

the Xbox consoles signifies the future that’s what there trying to portray with the first one it was a green wobbly thing which must belike a atom or something and the second one has gone for a tower as well and a futuristically shaped one.

TASK 8 story line is it important

In my opinion the story line is very important to a game but a lot of people want just action I find this foolish in a was because they don't realise what they are missing and this is a problem,
games need story lines and only game with good story line a truly remembered a good game must apply to the lore of games the game play must be good the sound must be good and the story must be good, if just one of these isn't up to standard then the game will be forgotten.

sorry I digress.... the story line is important games have story lines the same as books and film because the person has to know what where and why to under stand what is going on.

the story line in games happens to you not the other way round you can run from the story but you will seek it out...ha nice.....Sorry as I was saying the story line happens to you because it is like a film you watch it to know what’s happening but also you make it happen by your actions in the game like completing a level,
This said not many have a story only RPG and plat formers and some F.P.S.'s so NO! in some cases the story of games is useless all that’s matters is your doing what you want in a virtual world and that’s what where doing with games all the time ..... any way, I like story in games because its like reading a book or watching a film.

games are complex ....?

TASK 7... enter the art director

Art Directors ok.... They coordinate the efforts of the art team giving them what they need to build a visual image of what the game looks like, He also makes shore that the work is finished on time and that’s its to a productive standard with the right look for the game.
Art directors are responsible to the company that they work for but there more than that if a game gets a bad review because of the graphics then he is responsible for that, but it also makes the company look bad.

I believe that it s a creative role and quite a good one because although the company will set guidelines the because you can still alter the look of the game and I believe there is allot more going for being the head of the art team a lot more control of the direction of the game because you will meat with the other team leaders and get to contribute to the direction of the game from in there fields and in turn they can help you with suggestions.

although the jobs are alike there a re some defences the art director has more control over what is happening in the game and this is because the game making process is split up in to 3 types of directors and the film and media have a single director that must be appeased......art directors power.

The qualities you need to be a director are ..... people skills, artistic skills of a wide range like paints, alcohol markers a range of different media. He will as so need leadership skills time management and a vast knowledge of the 3d programs and he would have to know what is going on all the time that sounds hard.
