Recruiting for special effects and game artists can be a challenge. What do you do, for instance, when you’ve hired everyone out there that’s qualified to do the job… but you still need more artists?

You start thinking long term. Really long term. You create content that targets the next generation of aspiring game developers, with educational content that best suits high school and college students training to become digital artists. You help set them on the path, and hopefully, you reap the benefits.

This video series was created in collaboration with the Riot brand team, Riot’s creative recruiting teams, Riot’s art education team, and a few members of the art discipline who felt invested in recruiting future artists. It was localized and distributed via Riot’s owned Youtube channels in over a dozen languages, with additional educational material available via the Riot website including supplemental exercises that paired with the video series. It remains one of the most robust free resources on art and art related careers in gaming available today.
