Spotlight: Kevin Tammatat Sudtagon, Associate Artist

17th Apr 2023

How did you get your job at d3t?

I heard about the job opening through a friend that I went to university with. She told me about the opportunity, and since I had already got inside information on the fantastic work culture at d3t, I thought this would be the perfect fit.

What do you do day-to-day?

My day tends to start with a big cup of coffee! I then move on to my daily activities such as looking at Jiras, emails and figuring out what tasks need to be done for the day. Once I have a plan, I then get cracking with the artwork! As I start my days early, I’ll have a few hours to work with before the daily stand up.  This is when everyone on same project across multiple disciplines discusses what they’ve done, and what they will be doing throughout the day.

My stand up is around 10 o’clock, which often gives me a few more hours to get down with the artwork before lunch.

My typical workday frequently includes addressing reviews, asset creation, texturing, optimisation, and more fun artwork! Thanks to d3t’s flexi and hybrid working, I am then able to pop out to the gym for a few hours on my lunch. This gives me the time to have the proper break, step back from my work and return with fresh eyes before finishing the rest of my day.

Do you have any tips for people looking to get into the games industry?

As an artist looking to get into the industry, my advice would be to not think there is only one specific way to do game art. There are multiple ways to reach a look, and figuring out which workflow is going to be the best for that situation and not getting discouraged from branching out/learning new techniques will only aid you in getting better!

Also, have a fantastic portfolio! Show your working out and not just the final composition – dev cams, cleans UVS, topology, texel density and showing that you can do the job is a massive plus!
