Terms in Eq:

So far based on your research, what are possible answers to your EQ?
Some possible answers for my EQ would be that you have to constantly keep up with the growing technology, since mostly now entertainment artist are using modern software like Photoshop and other digital software art systems. Another possible answer that I have is that I need to have very good group skills. Ive been reading that you work alot in groups in the entertainment industry. In the gaming industry, you have concept artists working with Animators and programmers, and so you need to keep an open mind to all ideas and requests that are given. The last possible answer that Ive thought of was that an entertainment Artist needs a strong traditional and technical background. My interviewee, Frank Hsu, said that since the entertainment Industray is so large, if you can draw very well, you can pretty much get a job somewhere in that field.

What has been your most important printed source and why?
Well so far I have two very helpful sources from the same site; Gamatsura. A website that is dedicated to the gaming Industry and about Game programming and Art. The two articles helped me figure out some of my answers and also gave be some insight on how it was like to be an artist in the Entertainment Industry.
