I just got a job as a production artist for a large figure company!! Sorry if this is off topic but,I’m so happy I got my dream job!
>>11206352>StatueNot a toy
>>11206352
>>11206352I'm guessing it's something like Funko and their art style is shit. If it's Mattel then you'll be using AI.
>>11206352Way to go anon
>>11206352So like 3D modelling?
So, are you gonna come here and give us super secret insider info or what?
>>11206352Is it a western company or superior import company?
>>11206352no you didn't. If you really had, you would post a drawing of a crab chopping down a tree
>>11206433>it's Mattel then you'll be using AI.Plz be fake
>>11206352Bangin'.
>>11206433Yeah it’s pretty similar to funko >>11206536No I make this information page that shows a turn around, the exact colors to use and little details for the manufactures in China >>11209940Western>>11210612Commissions are $30 $50 in color
>>11206352Grats. Don't sell out and make crap.
>>11211908i'm guessing yootooz or something similar to that garbage
>>11206352>doesnt post proofMust be our first time here also...
>>11211908Do you give them the html hex codes for the colors? How do you work with gradients?
>>11206352I'm happy for you, genuinely. Good job.
>>11210786Most large corporations are forcing their employees to use AI now in the hopes it will develop enough to be able to replace a lot of human labor eventually.
>>11206352gj mate, stay true to yourself and don't make crap.
>>11211908Oh, so it's more ensuring the manufactures get the proper information. That's still really cool. I've seen so many factory accidents. Wrong colors and stuff.
>>11215619That's not great. AI is only really good for concept design.
>>11211908>WesternI hope it's no Hasbro anon. WHile yeah happy for you, they did just lay off a man who worked there 25 years to cut costs.
>>11216049>they did just lay off a man who worked there 25 years to cut costs.Why are people so up in arms about this? Once a person works for a company for X amount of years, they're never allowed to fire them? WTF. It's a business. If someone making 1/10 of this elder person's salary is doing the sam job at the same level of quality, why should they keep two of those people around? That's life! Everyone is replaceable.
>>11216053t.Company shill
>>11216053Yet those same companies would throw tantrum if there's no loyalty to them huh?
>>11216103Does any company actually give a shit about its employees or their feelings? Nah. That guy laid off from Hasbro dos seem like a whiny bitch for immediately running to his local news to cry and bitch about it though.
>>11216115They expect you to be loyal to them, and even if you are loyal they would still fuck over you. If that guy was laid off amicably, he wouldn't go cry about it. If you work for a company for 10 years and more even if the company has to let you go the least they could do is honor you even if layoff is a nicer term for firing.
>>11216115Hell anon you may enjoy giving the suits blowjobs for promotion, but they'll kick you out, even easier because you suck penile for money.
>>11211908>No I make this information page that shows a turn around, the exact colors to use and little details for the manufactures in ChinaWow you'll be bored shitless in 3 weeks to 3 months.
>>11206352Congrats anon!
>>11216115>Does any company actually give a shit about its employees or their feelings?This so hard. Why do you people assume companies care about the consumer? Even the best company wants to make money foremost.
>>11216375nta but it's something. Maybe anon will move up if they do well.
I did this job for Wizkids. Making paintmasters. Of course back then, I had to paint resin cold cast prototypes by hand and those got sent to China so they could match my paint jobs on the assembly line. Tampo printing sometimes but mainly just solid colors plus a wash or a drybrush. Everything you do is a "paint application" and most figures are limited to 6 or maybe 8. My strong point other than being fast and being reliable and basically on-call 24/7 was that I could get a lot more done with less apps than anyone else. I did Heroclix, Mechwarrior, all that jazz. You may think "but those paint jobs were usually pretty mid at best" and you would be right, but a Golden Demon winner couldn't have done any better. Source: was a finalist 2 years. The thing is, let's say we assign a 10 pt scale of quality. If you give the line a 9/10 paint job then the final mass produced item will probably be a 5/10,If you want the white eyes to have pupils, you already used 2 of your apps. If you want brown hair with a shade, that's 2 more. The skin is an app. Now you have 1-3 more apps for everything else on the whole model. The reason that the Heroclix fantasy often looked better than the Marvel heroes is because I could design the color scheme with this in mind, to work well. Whereas Spider-man has to look like Spider-man. A good example is Frank Miller Wolverine. He needs multiple browns, flesh, white, black, steel. Since his eyes are just white without dots, you can save an app and use it for a brown-black wash over the whole figure that makes all the brown and the flesh look better.
>>11206352congrats
>>11219052what do you do now? Still in the same field or doing delivery for Amazon like many other professionals who grew too old?Also, i loved the MEchwarrior line. Great job on the paint, because i understand how budgets work.
>>11206352Anon toys are for children, thats a childrens job.
