Studio Mentorships
Are you looking for Mentorship options or employee enrichment for your art team?
We are happy to discuss your teams needs and build out custom training packages for you.
Learn at your speed with your Mentor.
Everyone is different, we not only get that, we love that.
All skill levels are welcome here. Our Mentees range from beginner level getting solid foundations all the way to current working professionals looking for a tune up and specific refinement to their skillsets and careers.
We understand that not every Mentee who signs up learns at the same pace or prefers the same styles or methods. Thats why we dont have pre-recorded videos or a curriculum for you to follow. We aren’t going to guess what we think you need. We are going to help you with exactly what you need to help you grow. This is a unique opportunity for you to learn from industry experts. Each week you will get guidance, artistic / technical feedback, and get hands on demonstrations with your files, which we will share with you in your Mentorship Notebook.
At the end of your Mentorships you will have lifetime access to the Discord community as well as your Mentorship Notebook and any related files.
Invest in yourself.
With each Mentorship comes a unique opportunity to Elevate Your Skillset.
An opportunity to learn the workflows, techniques, and insight that took our Mentors years of grinding, leveling up, and sacrifice. We don’t promise things like a finished level or character in X amount of weeks, but what we will promise is to invest in you to set you up for success for the long run.
At the end of the day you can't pay someone to do the grind for you. Our Mentors will help keep you motivated, mentally strong, and accountable week to week while you are on the grind. If you're ready to put in the work to elevate your skill set, its time to sign up for a Mentorship!

A Focus On Community.
More Than A Mentorship. A positive learning environment.
On top of access to your Mentor and their feedback, you'll be joining an exclusive Discord community of like minded Mentees who are here to level up in an open learning environment free of toxic behavior. Oh! One more thing, all the other Mentors from every discipline hang out and will pitch in with feedback in the Discord to help give you a rich learning experience.
Because our community is full of Mentees and Mentors from around the world, you can ask a question at any time and get help or feedback on your project. You will often see paint-overs flying around and people talking in group chats problem solving and hanging out.
Find those huge Discord communities intimidating? Feel like you can never keep up with the chatter and the valuable info being shared? You will really enjoy our community.
Our Approach
What you can expect from us as a Mentee.
Personalized Approach To Teaching
Our Mentors bring a personalized approach to each Mentorship through One On One calls featuring hands on training and live demonstrations.
Mentorship Notebook
Each week update your Mentorship Notebook! Great for asking your Mentor questions, getting feedback, and sharing files / resources.
Flexible Meetings
Work with your Mentor to schedule a time that works for both of you. Not sure if it can work? We have worked with Mentees from all over the world.
Industry Leading Workflows
You will learn and explore workflow concepts, tools, and techniques used in AAA games to create high quality content for your portfolio.
Discord Community
Join other Mentees from around the world in our Discord community. Need a second pair of eyes? Stuck on a technical issue? Our community is there.
Beginner to Advanced
We work with developers / artists of all skill levels. Whether you are looking for foundational knowledge or a high end tune up, we are here to help. Hit us up.
Elevate Your Skillset
From Anywhere.
Learn from the comfort and safety of your home.
We believe learning environments aren’t limited to buildings and certainly not crowded rooms. That learning from top talent doesn’t mean moving to a different country for months on end, or driving an hour each way in heavy traffic.
We also know the world is a crazy place right now, and we want you to keep growing without the stress of a commute or if you are going to a safe facility.
Come grow with us.
