At Fusion by Devoted, we understand the challenges game studios face when working with freelance artists. Quality, reliability, and meeting deadlines can sometimes be a gamble, especially with freelancers.
That’s why we’ve created a solution — a 5-step vetting process that guarantees only the best, most reliable talent is onboarded, giving studios the peace of mind they need to create amazing projects without any setbacks.
The vetting process is a thorough, multi-step method for reviewing and selecting artists based on their skills, experience, and reliability. There’s only benefit that comes from this process, as it brings on the best, most qualified freelance artists to the platform.
Studios get peace of mind knowing they’re working with artists who are fully vetted and reliable, avoiding the risks that come with unverified talent. We believe that if we do this approach, this allows studios to focus on what truly matters — creating high-quality games with the right artists who can deliver quality.
🌿 It’s a Jungle Out There — But We Help You Find the Right Artist!
Freelance artists are a key part of many game studios, but finding the right ones can be tricky. Studios often struggle with issues like inconsistent quality, missed deadlines, and lack of communication.
And the thing is, hiring the wrong freelance artist comes with a risk. You’re not just dealing with a missed deadline or a subpar design, you’re risking the entire project. This can lead to wasted time, additional costs, and a serious setback in your production timeline. The pressure to find reliable talent only grows as project deadlines loom closer. That’s why having a dependable and well-defined process for selecting the right artists is indispensable.
A streamlined, transparent vetting system can help determine that the artists brought on board are the perfect fit, allowing game studios to focus on what truly matters—creating high-quality games without worrying about the talent that powers them.
🎯 Fusion by Devoted Created a 5-Step Vetting Process to Deliver Top Talent
Our vetting process is thorough, rigorous, and tailored to make sure that only the top-tier freelance artists make it to our platform. Here’s how we do it.
Step 1: Talent Invitation by Our Talent Manager
The first step in our vetting process begins with our Talent Managers. They handpick and refer artists based on their skills, experience, and potential fit for our game projects. Artists who receive an invitation from our Talent Managers are considered to be top-notch. If you get that invite, it’s a sign that you’re on the right track!
Step 2: Portfolio Review by Art Directors
Once invited, our in-house Art Directors take a close look at each artist’s portfolio. They conduct a detailed review, rating each artist’s work on a scale of 1 to 5. The portfolios are evaluated based on factors like art style, technical skills, and overall strengths. This helps us assess whether the artist is a good fit for client needs, ensuring that only those with exceptional portfolios are moved forward in the process.
Step 3: Artists Tagged by Seniority
After the portfolio review, artists are tagged based on their experience level. Whether an artist is just starting out or has years of experience, they’ll be categorized so studios can easily find the right fit for their projects. All artists on Fusion are tagged by our Art Directors, so you know exactly who you’re working with.
Step 4: Verification Checks
Trust and transparency are important, so we do verification checks for every artist. This includes identity and country verification, so studios can be confident that everything is above board. Artists also sign an NDA when they join Fusion, which takes the paperwork burden off studios—everything’s taken care of.
Step 5: Payment & Tax Requirements Verified
The final step is verifying the payment and tax requirements. This helps get artists prepped and ready to start working without any delays. With this step, studios don’t have to worry about compliance issues, and they can focus on getting the project done
🎁 What Do You Get After the 5-Step Vetting Process?
Thanks to our thorough 5-step system, studios gain access to only the best freelance artists across 20+ disciplines. Whether you need a 3D modeler, concept artist, or animator, Fusion has got you covered. Around 75% of the vetted artists are at a mid-senior level, meaning you’ll have access to highly skilled professionals who know how to get the job done.
