I don't think I have a process. That, or I have a ton of processes. I plan things out and make things happen in a completely different order every time I work on a new project.

While I haven't worked on many games, I do get involved in a lot of large scale illustration projects like comics and storyboards that require a lot of concept work and time management. The one thing that I know will help that I do with every large project is a big whiteboard and a couple of dry erase markers. This board is incredibly useful when quickly plotting out possible frames and different ideas and you can always take photo if you need to erase for more space. Having this and a cork board with tonz of sketches pinned to it sitting next to my computer while I work helps me practically every step of the way.
Also as far as storyboards go. I usually plot these out on those little study cards so I can slide them around and remove as needed. Doing the frames out small on them also serves the purpose of the thumbnail which, if easily read will be surely easily read when enlarged to full format.
One last thing, reference material. It always helps to have every bit of reference material be it photos, or how to books reachable without having to leave your workspace. T
That's interesting, maybe I should keep a sketchbook or a whiteboard somewhere around my desk haha.
