Fuel your passion for Game Art at Champlain College. Showcase your best 2-D/3-D masterpieces for an exciting future in the game industry.
The Game Art major at Champlain College is a visual art program focused on the creation of 2-D and 3-D art assets and animation for games. To be successful, students must enter the program with a strong aesthetic ability and a passion for creating visual art using both traditional and digital media. As part of the application for admission into the Game Art major, Champlain College requires the submission of a portfolio consisting of seven or more works of art, submitted in five separate files.
One PDF file consisting of three (3) pages (one drawing per page) that contain the following observational drawings from life, created with traditional media (e.g. pencil, pen, charcoal, paint, etc.):
Include any combination of the following (you don’t have to include all of these and you may submit multiple samples through multipage PDF files):
Please?do not?include work that copies photographs by using paintovers or the grid method-although photos may be used for reference. Do not include AI-generated artwork. Do not directly replicate another artist’s work (including replicating anime drawings, cartoons, or video game character designs). Do not?include anime?style drawings?in your portfolio. They don’t tell us enough about your aesthetic ability.
Upload your files to?Slideroom?and finish the application by answering the last questions about yourself in the online form.
Faculty members from Champlain College’s Game Art program will evaluate the submissions for skill, visual aesthetics, artistic practice, subject matter, and art appreciation. Students should concentrate on demonstrating the depth of their artistic talent. Quality is preferred over quantity. Please take time when answering the questions on the form. Good communication is an important quality for game artists, and it’s one we value.
