It takes two seconds on google to see Ms. Keifer's portfolio, and see that she's good. Concept art is an intensely competitive, skill-based profession, and Mrs. Keifer's work is certainly over the threshold to have a job in the industry. People have no idea how competitive the concept art industry is. Personally, I don't think building a skill, getting hired based on that skill, and working on multiple released projects is to going 'through life getting a participation award for breathing.' This video, and the comment section, really speaks to how gamers don't understand how game design works. Regrettably, their lack of knowledge doesn't seem to impact their confidence in their own opinion. The characters are the responsibility of the creative director and top ranks of management. They're the ones who made decisions on Concord's visual identity. They're the ones who made the decision to design a cast with zero sex appeal. They're the ones who made the decisions on the game's flattened color identity. Then the artists make stuff that fits those decisions. They bring management's vision to life. If management doesn't like the characters, or the characters don't fit their vision, then they tell the artist to do it again and fix it. It's insane to assign blame to rank-and-file artists and developers, as though they have control over what their creative director tells them to do. That's not how this works.

Sure it may be working on a different game, but a lot of companies really want to let artists and designers have their own autonomy for various reasons, look at Path of Exile 2, i will quote the QnA here: "We let artists design their own bosses and enemies, because they can think of stuff i couldn't have even dreamt of". The gaming community LOVES artists that can put out a character that doesn't look like a trashcan and before you say "it's hard to get a job as an artist", well, tough luck, it's pretty hard to change jobs pretty much anywhere unless you want to work in a fast food chain, just take your portfolio and go somewhere, if you're really skilled they'll take you, if you're shit, again, tough luck.

12:20 I showed the redesign to a professional artist to draw characters and let me tell you they said that the redesign is way better than the original, they said the redesign is perfect because it helps with what the character does and what weapon they use, they said the reason why that leotard type gymnastics thing was a perfect addition because it helps with those moves, The Professional artist loved the gloves, the knife, the boots basically everything about the character, they even said the hair is perfectly on the sides instead of it being slicked back like the original, they said the character being that skinny with the holes in the pants and the small jacket is perfect for movability, they said the redesign is way better than the original at everything. Do you want to know something crazy? The professional artist is a woman, and I went to them and I asked her, what is everything wrong with the original and what is everything better with the redesign? So you can't use the sexist card on this when a literal woman saying is the character sucks.

@@BoundingIntoComics You honestly think they didn't have this woke BS planned years ago? It's not an overnight decision. DEI was created in the 60's. Funding social credit score started its test run in 2009. In between 20014-2015 the riots started. Basically, the kick start of wokeness in the mainstream. Someone up in the ranks prob said. If we sub to DEI we will begin receiving funding on top of game sales which is a free profit. They started development of the game in 2016 which is about the same time as the end of the riots. Something to think about. And this whole she should of walked. It's not that simple to just leave a company like that. Careers can be over within seconds if your blacklisted in that field.

To be fair I worked in art for a while, albeit in comparatively wayyy smaller projects. But even I have had my share of "by committee" where during a job a bunch of non-artists clientside tried to influence my sketches and correct them "in their clients' sense" to the point that the project stagnated until I had a dispute with the actual CEO and him and me ended up agreeing that he was going to be the decisionmaker I'd talk to instead of a team of folks who all had their "visions" and the project started moving again. Different story, I got a script to draw and the villain was meant to be smoking a cigar in a scene but I got a note along with that saying I should change that to him eating a big steak because it was a story for kids and apparently nowadays you can't have a fat uggo mean old rich douche of a villain doing something unhealthy when the whole point of him is to make him so unlikeable that nobody wants to be like him. I ended up not fighting that one. And while I understand the point about accountability, at the end of the day if you face these things I described daily on a broad scale while being contracted/hired on a project -- there is only so much you can do and you need to pick your battles.

I dunno.. she seems sincere and wasn't attacking in any way. I suppose it comes down to how much of the designs were due to studio interference. She sounds like she had a really hard time with that and seeing some of her other work, she clearly has talent. When she says 'design by committee' obviously she is talking about her uppers, the ones who tell her what they want. Often artists have conflicting views but have to push on regardless because it's what they were hired to do. The only other option being to quit, which she has said is where some of them are at now. Sometimes contracts prevent one from quitting, contracts that cost a lot financially. Think of your favorite actor who starred in a movie that bombed and regretted it later, but they were contractually obligated and were unable to leave. It would be really interesting to see the initial/early character drafts and see how they compared with the final.
