Technical Artist

Description

When it comes to left brain vs. right brain, you're an acrobat walking a tightrope over the chasm of expectations. Equally gifted in code and art, you understand what it takes to deliver cutting edge visuals that push the boundaries of hardware limitations. Possessing impeccable interpersonal skills, you enjoy being the middle man in the ongoing war between performance and aesthetics. You are a Technical Artist, and you are ringmaster of the game development circus.
