And the end result will be infinitesimally different, yet different nonetheless.” - Art Director Daniel Dociu on leading an art team like a conductor in an orchestra Daniel Dociu doesn’t need an introduction - he is one of the most renowned and beloved Art Directors of the games industry; the Art Father of Guild Wars.
