(1/2) I think paintovers are tacky. You’re presuming there weren’t artists on staff pitching these ideas during pre-pro— there were, they just got shot down by directors & execs (just as you would). It reads as, “If -I- were on the project this is what it would look like.” No.

Like MAN I don’t think people know what it’s like working for huge companies—your work gets churned through a machine of execs and appeal and target audiences, or just the needs of the project shift in some understandable way, and stuff gets... Filed down. You get used to it.

That’s when you make your own stuff, or you work on smaller teams with more creative control. The assumption that the teams behind huge films and games were just “dumb” and “didn’t think of it” is often such an oversimplification of an extremely complicated situation
