We first met Sai Liu at last years Concept 101, after placing first in our bugtober event competition she earned a one on one portfolio review with us! A very promising and affable artist with a versatile portfolio and a wide range of interests. Sai has valuable experience working on projects in Asia and has made the transition to training and working here in the west, she would be a good addition to any project that is a stylistic match!
First of all, I am so appreciative to have the opportunity from Brainbug offered for this Portfolio Review. I've received many of feedback on my work, as well as suggestions for the way forward. I was extremely excited to discuss FZD, Framed Ink, Jusant, Ian Hubert, Elodie, Black Myth: Wukong, AI, layoffs, and another topic in the game industry with Jamie Clapham. Thank you so much for your time and suggestions. I would like to explore and find out what I really want to. And I wish I could have this sort of conversation with more people. Secondly, although I had many years of experience working in China before, after finishing the study in MA Concept Art at Teesside University, I was still concerned about connecting with the games industry in the UK and globally. Moreover, the conversations I had with many industry professionals at some events made me realise that though some of the workflows in China are different and even opposite to those in the UK, the foundations and basic information that the industry needs are interconnected. For example, some of the Chinese clients prefer to start with concept thumbnails with colours and textures and are more concerned with the final image, while the workflow in the UK is more likely to start with some quick line sketches or silhouettes and explore different ideas, then make selections and develop the ideas. However, the proportions, trends, values, compositions, etc. used are all based on the same design theory. (Just discussing common situations, depending on the needs of different clients and cases, not an extreme expression) Finally, I am still looking for a job (Freelance/Contract/Full-time). If you are interested in my work, please contact me. I enjoy working on historical and cultural themes and world-building. I think it is important to place characters, environments and props in a believable virtual world. In addition, I never limit myself to any subject matter and cut down my time by learning additional 3D skills for my work. Sometimes it is easy to lose creativity when I am too immersed in skills and I hope I will not lose the innovation and narrative deep in my heart as a result. I would like to network with you all.

I went to the Concept 101 drink and draw last night! Ended up just talking to other artists about their work! Was a really nice social event! Thanks to Jules Darriulat, Stefan Valasek and Mattia Lau for all the advice and was nice chatting and meeting everyone else (Nice seeing a few Norwich University of the Arts Alumni too)!

Last week I had a privilege to attend Concept 101 event in the Leake Street Arches to see all the glorious people who help to shape modern popular culture and beyond. It was my first time at the event and also first time I've represented Skewb Climate's art department. My first photo shows you the size of the que in 9:10 in the morning just to get inside. My high school economy teacher - Mrs. Zenuré Abdullaeva - always reminded us about the idea of opportunity cost. And let me tell you, with the massive schedule of guest speakers and studios over three stages, the opportunity cost of every minute on this convention was colossal. Here are some highlight quotes and para-phrases from the talks over at Stage 1 that resonated with me the most: "Just wait and see - within this decade AAA concept-artists will all evolve to Film Directors." "In this industry, It's always smart to buy a required plug-in instead of wasting five days of employee's time." "Making a proper model can be time consuming, but you will save way more time on the feedback and iteration stage!" - One Pixel Brush team "You do not have to figure out everything right there and then. As you can see on this slide with our first knight. Was it the best model it could possible be? Of course not! Was it answering the question - how a project like this can be done and where should we go next? Definitely!" - Jama Jurabaev "Yes, it's a fantasy job, but we still need to be cautious with stress levels and burnout. We are very fortunate to have a great team you can rely upon and have your back. There is great power in cooperation and co-creation." - Jason Horley "Indeed, it all starts with sketches, mood boards and brainstorms here. But we need you to remember one thing. When you're looking for inspiration - don't limit yourself to Artstation. With modern visual language dominated by render engines, old masters and classic paintings are more relevant than ever. Learn their secrets, build your skill and use it to enhance your art with both modern and timeless." - Industrial Light & Magic team Big thanks to everyone involved with this event and to all those amazing folks I was able to meet.
