Collectibles and figurines 3D sculptor jobs

SoulScience

Hi guys. I am an organic 3d sculptor and was working in this area for past 8 years in 3d printing industry. But now I just can't find remote work within this field. Do somebody knows what is going on in the industry? Should I study game character creation? It's been 4-5 monthes that I am sitting here trying to find a job. Don't know what to do. Any tips/advices would be appreciated.  Here is my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/SoulScience

Well, I don't have much to add but just wanted to chime in to comment that your sculpts really do show great craftmanship and care - so, congratulations on that.

Thanks a lot for this, my friend.

The whole 3d modeling field seems to become a race to the bottom. Too much new players working for pennies, too much model/texture generators and free stuff. I've seen guys on reddit that produce 3d models for $60. And they have somewhat decent works.

This is how creative careers have always been. There's a lot of people desperate to make money and lower their prices to ridiculous lows to get attention.

I wouldn't say it's a creatives thing, because the same is happening to coding and web development. You can literally hire programmers for 10$ a day on some websites.
We are going backwards in time in a matter of job security. It's 19 century again

I guess it is worser now?
