• REQUIRED: Your portfolio must have at least one example of low-poly game model work, and also must show off at least one wireframe example with efficient topology
• REQUIRED: Your portfolio must have at least one work sample with a style and sensibility that’s a good match with our other work ( Castle Doombad , Steven Universe: The Light Series , Teeny Titans , Seafrog , etc), i.e. something colorful and all-ages friendly.
• REQUIRED: Great communication and collaboration skills; ability to work closely with a team of other artists/developers and comfortable taking and giving critique
