Hi! My name is Bri’Ana Deal, and I was the lead artist on project Samsara. As lead artist, it was my responsibility to present the team with various ideas for the visual style of the game and set out the art direction for myself and fellow artists during pre-development. The world I envisioned for Samara was stylized, visually rich, and atmospheric. As a team we agreed this was the visual direction we would take. Also, I needed to make sure my fellow artists had everything they needed to execute our vision in the small amount of development time we had. This would often times mean creating visual style boards, lists of tutorials and references, or even helping an artist that was unfamiliar with a part of the workflow to learn the steps and programs we set out to use.
