Hey
#VisibleWomen
, I'm Brie an associate enviornment artist at Bluepoint Games, you can check out my work at !
Below is some of my personal work I've done over the years! Working on some more soon!
It’s the time of the year when students start looking for jobs/ internships. So here’s my advice.
- Lean portfolio, only show your best work. You don’t want to give them a reason to fault you. If it looks bad don’t put it in.
- Spend time lighting your work, bad lighting kills.
I know from the outside the Texas thing doesn’t look like that big of a deal. But in all fairness, it truly felt like we might freeze to death at some points. Like literally holding my shaking cat for hours so she doesn’t quite literally Fucking die.
Proud to announce that I’ve accepted a position at Bluepoint Games in Austin as an Associate Environment Artist! Thank you to everyone who helped me out along the way! I’ll be starting there later this month!
Bluepoint Games is always looking to hire the best talent. There’s never been a better time to join the team and help us take on the next exciting challenge!

A friend of mine gave their two weeks notice at their studio, and had their reputation threatened for leaving before project end, was told 2 weeks is unacceptable in the industry.
Is 2 weeks a normal notice? I'm trying to help by giving them data to support them leaving.
The studio’s brilliant re-creation of Demon’s Souls for the PS5 launch proves that

games inside and out. We are so excited to welcome them as the newest member of PlayStation Studios! Congrats to everyone at Bluepoint Games!
Like stranded, frozen, flooding, no signal, no open hotel rooms, no internet, no heat, no water, plummeting temperatures, huddled together for warmth, I’m in no way being dramatic when I say my life was quite literally in danger.
I’m still looking for work, if you or your team is in need of an environment artist, you can find my work at and can contact me at bgibson

Our power wasn’t damaged, they turned it off. Deemed us non essential, they said they’d roll the power outages but didn’t. 72 hours no power and no heat in below freezing. Animals are dead, literally frozen dead outside. People have found corpses dead on the side of the road.
My final submission for my thesis for the semester, will continue to polish and push next semester, but for now I'm gonna rest haha. It'll look even better next semester, I promise.

Trying to post wips more instead of showing up with a piece once every six months lmao.... been trying fancy filagree modeling since I've not had much opportunity to do it ever, not perfect but it'ssssssssss something
Fuck this shit, every week it's something new smh, if you're not in the know NFTs = Cryptoart, absolutely horrible for the environment, even if a company pays to offset the damage their still doing DAMAGE, their just paying to put a band-aid on it after
- Showcase your skills! You want to show your knowledge and flexibility. If you’re an env artist make sure your work has trims, alpha cards, masking, modularity, organic, hard surface, etc.
-Put time into your final renders! Mimic professionals!
One of the most horrible things is not only was Chris Shaffer not fired for his abusive actions, he felt so safe and emboldened enough to sue a recent graduate. It’s obvious the school isn’t punishing him and has no plans to punish him, the sheer gall of this is ridiculous.
-For non-stylized work, no faceted edges. It’s 2021, we’re on next gen. No more faceted edges.
-For env.... clean topology doesn’t really matter anymore, boasting about small tris counts doesn’t matter anymore. Put your effort elsewhere.
- Use Artstation, just use it.
Applying for jobs
- if the listing is for junior/ associate, apply. If the listing is for mid-senior, apply. It’s hard to find senior artists, occasionally they’ll settle for a talented junior. Doesn’t hurt to apply.
- No jobs listed at a studio? If they have an email, ask-
After being in the industry for almost.... 4 weeks... the one hot tip I have for peoples portfolios is UP YOUR POLYCOUNT. I mean yes learn optimization it’s important, but like games are moving forward.
Not getting anywhere?
- there’s career mentorships available
- keep trying! I applied to 60 jobs before I got my first one. I only got 3 interviews. All it takes is one.
-Games hiring is... slow. It took me six months the first time.
-Ask for portfolio reviews! Join a discord!
I think game studios should be able to exist without producing a hit. The hyper commercialization of games is the boot on the throat of creativity. A choice made under threat of profitability and mass appeal is boring. Games should be divisive and weird and make you feel.

@xavierck3d
Yeah that's what I told them. They already have a job lined up with a place they love and has offered them great benefits and pay. The studio is just trying to prey upon them imo.
Interviews
- be timely, be nice, your portfolio got you in the door, but if you’re an ass they won’t hire you.
- ask questions! It proves your interested in the job.
- they’ll most likely ask about your experience with collision and lods. Try to familiarize yourself with this.
-Not every studio lists their jobs publicly, sometimes jobs circle internally first. So sending an email doesn’t hurt. The worst they can do is say no
-keep track of the jobs you apply for, don’t apply to a job your portfolios isn’t for, don’t use a env portfolio for game design.
My dad has told everyone at his work about my new job, despite knowing nothing about video games, he’s googled literally all he could about the studio to be able to brag about me haha
- Be nice to HR! Be nice to recruiters! They know what their doing, don’t be a jerk to them because their not who you wanna talk to.
- If you have to sign an NDA for an interview, take it seriously. Don’t go spilling anything just because it was just for an interview.
🚨NEW DOC ALERT🕹️
We talk to
@bluepointgames
&
@JapanStudio_JP
about the years of work that went into remaking Demon's Souls for the PlayStation 5. Over an hour of chat about areas, bosses, graphics, sound, physics, interface & more.
WATCH NOW:
Art Tests
- be professional, be timely, do not be late, present high quality work. If the art test calls out an element they want, HIT IT.
- Follow up emails are ok! Follow up after 2 weeks. It shows your interested!
- if you can ask for feedback! If you get it, do it!
My only negative experience in the industry is when, at a job interview at gdc, asked where I had come from, I casually said the women in gaming event. He asked if I really believed being a woman in gaming was harder than being a man, I gave a half truth of “oh I haven’t gotten-

LRT- if you are a student or dev who is self teaching themself, feel free to ask for portfolio advice or industry advice from me. I may not be the most experienced but I’ve made a lot stupid mistakes and I’m fresh out of your experience so I know what you’re going through!
Where have I been? Well power went out Sunday night. Monday we had cell and data signal still. The temperature in the apartment dropped to about 55 degrees. Cold but survivable. My roommate and I ended up sleeping in the same bed for warmth. Around 10 cell signal stopped.
