  My main responsibilities as a lead artist have been to manage and distribute the work between the artists in the department, to provide training opportunities for everyone, as well as to manage the stress levels, making sure that everyone works in a safe and friendly environment. It is also my duty to keep a close eye on the hero assets, starting from modeling, texturing and lookdev, as well as to assemble any hero lookdev scenes. I also do QA checks on all the scenes and video slaps that go to reviews. I make sure that there is an up-to-date lookdev template and that everyone knows what their work involves, including shots and references. I love seeing my team progress and it is a great honor to present our work during any supervisor reviews,
