There are more negative emotions than positive ones.

The work content below varies depending on gender. For a 2D artist, the specific responsibilities are setting and animation production, but most of the time we are frequently pulled away to work on plugins. This company also really likes to engage in industry-academia collaboration, so we constantly have to deal with a pile of miscellaneous tasks related to such collaborations.

Because there are so many meetings, the planners cannot provide complete specifications. Even more absurdly, they give us what we commonly call “imaginary specifications.”

Here, almost anything visual that moves is considered the artists’ responsibility. During the project art-setting process, you have to overcome obstacle after obstacle. The following is the process by which a project is reviewed at various levels:

·Planners > Project lead > Department head > Opinions from even higher-level executives (none of the above have an art background, and the extent of their revisions is practically interference on the level of nitpicking)

Even after all the matters under the project art team’s responsibility have been completed, if a senior executive feels that something should be changed, we have to accommodate their wishes and revise it accordingly. From an artist’s perspective, working here is very much like working under a factory system, and senior executives constantly patrol the office.

Artists also have to handle file naming and management for the programmers. Often, it feels like a situation where an outsider is directing an expert.
