Ten Naughty Dog Artists Gather Tomorrow To Discuss Uncharted, The Last Of Us, And More
Ten members of Naughty Dog’s art team will be gathering at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Games, and Animation tomorrow to discuss their craft. The event will be held in Los Angeles, but if you can’t attend, you won’t need to miss out.
The event isn’t specifically to discuss the upcoming Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (though it will no doubt be mentioned). Rather the artists will discuss their daily work, the types of projects they’ve participated in, and the skills required to succeed in the field.
Participating artists include:
- Ana Cho, Texture Artist
- Christophe Desse, Technical Artist
- Alice Gionchetta, Texture Artist
- Hans Godard, Character Technical Director
- Yibing Jiang, Character Shading Artist
- Aaron Limonick, Concept Artist
- Adam Littledale, Environment Modeler
- Andrew Maximov, Artist
- Neilan Naicker, Dynamics Artist
- Adam Scott, Character Artist
The event begins at 7 p.m. Pacific and is scheduled to last until 11 p.m. Pacific.
- 7:00 – 8:00 pm: Game Character Creation Panel: Hans Godard, Yibing Jiang, Adam Scott
- 8:10 – 9:10 pm: Video Game Environments: Ana Cho, Alice Gionchetta, Aaron Limonick, Adam Littledale
- 9:20 – 10:20 pm: Technical Art: Christophe Desse, Andrew Maximov, Neilan Naicker
- 10:30 – 11:00 pm: Q&A Session
You can register to attend for free on Gnomon’s website. A live stream will also be available tomorrow. Archives will be made available at a later date.
Our Take
Whether you are interested in a career in video game art or are just interested in seeing how game aesthetics come together, this a neat opportunity. The three panel topics cover different disciplines that all must mesh together for a cohesive visual experience. I'm looking forward to learning more.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
