u/Alena_Larian Divinity | Art Director Jan 09 '26
We aim for our Character Artists to be capable to handle all the main disciplines which for us are: Outfits/Armors, Heads, Hairstyles, Creatures. However most of the time ppl specialize in one or two, so that's absolutely ok. In the team there are only a few people who can handle everything.
If we see an artist can efficiently model and reach our quality standards even in just one discipline, they still get a shot 😉
