There is actually vital information for a graphic artist. The genre and the name of the main character...is information I don't need. But information about the scope/size of the project are vital for me to decide if I can commit to a project or not.
In order to assess if I can give it a go, I would have to know
what and how much is expected of me. Will I be working on a single level demo ? Or maybe a small-medium sized game ? 2D or 3D, level design, character modeling, textures, animation...Maybe all of it. I can't blindly commit to a project. Size of a project does matter, specially if you are not getting paid on a monthly basis for that specific project.
We exchanged emails, but before I could agree I wanted to know these informations...But the correspondence ended there.
Which is quiet unfortunate, I was fairly interested.
