Omar Awediah is the Character Art Lead at Sucker Punch Productions and a mentor at Vertex school. Before that he was a character art lead at Amazon game studios and Obsidian entertainment and Cloud imperium games. 

Omar gives us a glimpse into many aspects of his life as an artist creating characters for a major studio. You get to hear all about Omar's journey in art from being an intern all the way to a character art lead. He talks about how to be a better artist with critiques, and how to overcome a lot of the vulnerability that comes with the territory.  Have a listen to our chat taped live at the Yellow Jacket Social Club in Austin, TX and his home in Seattle.
