Jianli Wu is a concept artist who visualizes character ideas for video games and explains how AAA video game development depends on a few highly skilled artists driven by passion.

He shares how painting sexy beautiful men changed his life, while working in a straight male industry targeting a straight male audience, in line with market demands. 

We can never underestimate the importance of being open with ourselves if we want to create our best work. You have to be honest with at least a part of yourself to be able to share work that means something. Then go for it.
