Justin Rodrigues is a good friend and one of my favorite current artists.

In this episode, we discuss the most productive way to respond to rejection and how his character design style blends 2D sensibility with 3D structure.

After Justin’s interview, Spanish concept artist Juan Francisco Bautista Zambrana shares the story of a recent career breakthrough and what he learned while breaking into game design!
