Hi all, are there more realistic art style kind of game jobs or stylized? it looks like being an realistic character artist is easier to find a job, right?
be self aware, do what speaks to you. what's the point of getting a job doing photo real characters if you are going to be bored and end up burning out. Figure out what you are passionate about and hammer on it until you are a badass and jobs will be offered to you left and right.
people around here seem to have the mindset of what is the easiest route into a game job. That's basically asking "whats the bare minimum to scrape by"
Change your mindset from I have to apply at 10 studios and maybe get in a 1 of them.....to...... How do I get so good at doing what I am passionate about, I have 10 recruiters contacting me a month and I can pick and choose the job I really want, or turn them all down with zero worry.
Figure out what really speaks to you and produce work at increasingly better quality until you achieve your goal. It's really that simple. looking for a shortcut or the easy route is the best way to waste time that could be spent executing towards your goal.
Not only that, but you are going to be lumped in with the hundreds of others looking for an easy in, all competing for the same 20-30 entry level character art positions posted each month. If you have an amazing level portfolio that demonstrates your passion, you will literally be vaulting over the people trying to just get in, and have people approaching you. Clearly demonstrate your value and what you are really passionate about and you won't need to worry about surface level questions like this. now go out there and kill it
