Reference is so important for #gameart! It helps ground the viewer/player and connect them to the world they are entering. Professionals gather reference as a starting point all the time. If you are a student take the same approach!

You want to be awesome to work with? Start with treating others how you want to be treated. Ask questions, don't make assumptions, be timely with responses, and kind. Kind does not mean avoid conflict. Avoidance is not kindness.
