Our guest this week is animation and gaming industry veteran Flint Dille! He’s been involved in a wide range of projects from the 80s animated Transformers movie to games like Diablo III and Pokemon GO. We sit down with Flint to find out how artists can use methods valued in game design and writing to take their study routine and education to the next level. Flint shares how you can use familiar concepts familiar to gamers, like grinding for levels, as a form of practice in order to enter a propulsion loop where you feel rewarded and fulfilled while moving forward in the “main quest” of your art journey.
