New Character Artist needs advice to get into the video game industry. London, UK.

QOR_082

Hi! I am here wondering if someone more experienced could give me some advice in which steps should I take in order to start a career in video games industry as a character artist.  I live in London, United Kingdom.

I finished a BA in 3d animation and I want to start, but the competition is just too high. I am 34 years old, I did some creative jobs in the past but 3d modelling for games is a different level. Probably an internship would be the best thing to do.

Here is my portfolio:

(currently I am working on this lo poly likeness of Disney Infinity as an exercise:)



Thank you for having the time of reading this thread.

Best Regards, Pedro.

There's no real magic bullet here... Hopefully your BA will have taught you the discipline you need to finish pieces of work in a timely manner, so now all there is left is to just...


Just keep pushing, practicing, emulate your favorite artists, or the art styles of studios you like etc. And make it happen.
