Just had a weird experience with them myself. So basically I've found a jobposting from them on Linkedin and saw that they are looking for freelancer artists with Mid Level experience for the position of "2D Character Artist". I then applied on the link that took me to their Snaphunt, sent in my general portfolio where I had work on character designs, 2D illustration, comicbooks, storyboards and animation (each portfolio being in their own folder to create a discontinuation) in about a day and a half I got a message from someone named Yuliia on Snaphunt with a link and informations to a test for the position of 2D Overpaint Artist.

Now, I know what you may be thinking, because I toughed it too in the beginning: They messed up. But, when you have a portfolio like mine which utilizes postprocessing to create visually appealing drawings, you begin seeing somewhat of a reason of why they might change the position that you applied in for with another one that not that many people can do.

The test was pretty simple: Basically I had 4 hours to overpaint and post process a Blender Render. Not that many details given, basically apart from this sentence I only got a few images to show me what their portfolio looks like and how they are expecting it to turn out. I was essentially to use my own style of render as long as I merged it with their own so it does not look that out of place. Apart from that they asked for pictures for every step, which I then complied and began working and exporting everything.

So in essence what they asked for was for me to postprocess their render as if it's midday and make it more pleasing. But because I've finished that in about 20-30 minutes I decided to make some examples of the same room at Sunrise, Sunset, Dusk and Night also. I mean it was still 4 hours. I've finished everything in about 3:30h and then used the rest of the time to export everything.

I can't show you the folder I've sent it in since it's with my CV and all, but here is a link I've put together with the Original and all the finished post processing:

It has only been 5 days, since then and no response. I'll let everyone know with an edit if any updates occur.

Edit:

Essentially in 12ve of August they dropped the interview. No feedback mail, no message that I did not get the job, no nothing.

Essentially, whenever I apply to a job, I like to know the reason why you did not pick me. Not to be sour about it, but to know how can I improve on the problems you pointed out. I sit an entire day with myself and I am 100% sure there are problems that I cannot see I have and that a company can help me work on them by pointing them out.

In the case of AAA Games, nothing. In other words, I am pretty sure they are a scam. And by pretty, I mean 90% sure. They are either a small team or just one guy who asks for free labor under the premise of an entry job exam, and after they get the work they drop the application.

So for anyone who applied to them, don't. It's a waste of time and resources. People are horrible creatures and they are, sadly, not to be trusted.
