Jen Zee

(
)
  • ... that game designer of the video game Hades said that the characters were attractive "because Jen Zee"? Source: "When I asked game designer Greg Kasavin why everyone was so damned hot, he told me it was a deliberate choice. Everyone, from Megaera to Thanatos (call me, zaddy), down to even Asterius and Dusa owe their attractiveness to the vision of Supergiant’s art team. “There’s a really simple answer to your question,” he said via email. “Because Jen Zee.”" [1]
    • ALT1: ... that Jen Zee was the recipient of a British Academy Games Award for Artistic Achievement for her work on Hades? Source: "ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT HADES Jen Zee – Supergiant Games/Supergiant Games" [2] [3]
    • ALT2: ... that social media "has gone mad" for Jen Zee's character portraits in Hades? Source: "Perhaps this is just everyone’s lockdown libido desperately searching for an outlet, but in the past couple of weeks social media has gone mad for art director Jen Zee’s wonderfully drawn gods and monsters, with their elegant musculature, casually revealing outfits and appropriately godlike profiles." [4]

    • Comment: Loved making this article, and there's more hooks from the well if needed (although I think we're on the right track already here!)

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes

  • Other problems: No - I feel ALT1 needs more contextual understanding ALT2 needs to be reworded to sound more neutral.
QPQ: Done.

  • Sorry, ALT1 is actually good! The original comment was for ALT0. Good to go. lullabying (talk) 06:38, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
No offense to Nomader, but I suggest failing this article, as from a review of the sources, it fails WP:NARTIST. All sources are either WP:SYNTH, trivial mentions or interviews. Artists must have actual WP:SIGCOV to qualify for articles - it seems she is best covered under the Supergiant Games article instead. I would definitely suggest expanding the Supergiant article with her role in their various games, but nothing about the sources suggests a standalone article about her should exist, and she is predominantly known for her work at Supergiant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:16, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
@Nomader, Lullabying, and Zxcvbnm:, Jen Zee has been boldly redirected, so the nomination needs to go on hold until deletion discussions are resolved, see D5 at WP:DYKSG. TSventon (talk) 12:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
@TSventon:@Zxcvbnm: Thanks for the ping, TSventon and no offense taken whatsoever, Zxcvbnm. Will start a discussion with you on Talk. Nomader (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
