my music teacher used to say students were too preoccupied with coming up with their own style. style is downstream of the decisions you make, and those will often be about process, not final product. your art will reflect you no matter what you do, so work how you enjoy.

it's because I like to pick the colors, and my 3D artist doesn't, so we went "huh" and I just set it up so she doesn't have to think about the part she hates doing. I enjoy coloring. So I do that part.

That's literally it. It isn't a trick question. There's some advantages but really just: because.

Now there's neat stuff this lets me do (I map GRADIENTS to each material group, not solid colors, that's why the B&W is so value-heavy) but the point is more:

your art pipeline doesn't have to be like anyone else's. Evict the manager in your head. Figure out what works for YOUR team, and do that.

These are ancient now but the graphic of pullin up the cultists robes is still like a favorite experience, since his leg is actually just the doomguys arm.
