Resources to apply for Indie game studios

GGGL

Hello, I'm a 3d weapon/prop artist, I have been applying for jobs over the past year, and it seem that my lack of experience has been an issue, so in order to get some experience for my portfolio and get familiar with the entire game publishing pipline I've decided to shift my focus to working for indie game studios, start ups or just any group that aims to publish a game in the near future, It also does not have to be paid, I can work on revenue/profit sharing.

Thing is, I can't seem to find a centralized place where I can apply for indie or start up jobs, as most jobs on LinkedIn are from big/medium sized studios.

So, I would appreciate any resources, sites, forums or subreddits that help in getting indie jobs.

Here is my portfolio: https://g-3l.artstation.com/

Thank you.

check out this spreadsheet, it has an absurd number of indies. Some are large and established, some are new and might have no money, and everything in between.

Fledgling indie job postings can be hard to find because all the big job boards have a cost to post ads (it's usually not much, but when your budget is zero, welp...). You'll find those guys more on forums (here, unreal, etc)
