SOE is hosting eight art interns across our studios this summer.  These internships (ten weeks long) give students an opportunity to work in a real game development environment creating assets for several of our titles.  Not only does the experience benefit students, it also helps SOE provide an opportunity for its full time artists to mentor an emerging talent, preparing themselves for senior artist roles.  This year’s intern selections come from schools across the western US.  There are four from The Art Institute of California-San Diego, all of these students come directly from the SOE mentor program that we run with the Art Institute. There are two students from Brigham Young University, one student from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and one from The Art Institute of California-San Francisco.  I’m looking forward to seeing the talent and energy they bring to SOE this summer.
