From brief to in-game sprite
Art pipeline
One Role owns the look, another owns the files. Images are generated by hand today, and the reviewing Role decides whether the Owner needs to look at all.
How it runs
- A brief with its conventions
- Image generated
- Reviewed against the written standard
- Accepted into the game
The pieces
- Style sets
- A named look, written down, so it can be asked for again.
- Prompts
- The subject and the convention — most requests write only the first.
- Verdicts
- Reviewed against a written standard, not a mood.
