How does it work? Do you get direction on the concept, or where does it come from?
TL;DRElijah McNeil says direction varies, from briefs or Jump Point requests to filling in hangar spaces with a lot of freedom, though Chris O as visual director has final say.
Well, it always depends. Sometimes it's different. Sometimes I'll be asked to just do something for Jump Point, which is also concept slash illustration sometimes, except for maybe the painting of the Constellation. Ryan Church designed the Constellation, but I did a nice mood painting for a story. With the concept, the way it usually works is that I either get a brief or they'll say, all right, well, we have these hangars. And that was actually my second task being here, was taking care of the hangars. And so I oversaw those visually. I would check in with Chris to see what he thought about them. And it would go back and forth, but usually it was just, alright, here's this, here's this wall, here's this area, and then filling in all these blanks. And so I kind of had most of the direction of it, but Chris O is visual director, so he had final say.
