Hey guys, having an artdentity crisis I posted a portfolio critique thread and the replies were really helpful to me so I thought Id also post about this more general topic. I feel indecisive as theres a few different avenues I feel I could go down but am not sure which one Im essentially self-taught so have never had…
I would say the games industry is turbulent due to Global Events and the huge shifts of uncertanty post Covid. On top of this Seasonal Trends and so many different Technology Shifts going on. I have students making Assets for Dekogon with polycounts that I could only have dreamed of. Then there is the Economic Factors,…

Artists Looking for Work - Guidelines This forum provides a place for individual artists to post links to their portfolios, and a few examples of their work. This is also a good place for potential employers to ask questions of a particular artist. If you are an outsource studio or group of artists, please create your…
i got my degree back in september and within 2 weeks of graduating, i had a job. Those two events happening had nothing to do with each other.

I didnt notice the 8 thing in there until like 20 seconds of starring at it. also the propellers dont read well like Japhir said. The inital sketch was way better and easily readable. I think the entire site could use an overhaul because right now it looks really amateurish. the reel is tiny and flash based which is never…
well I've been working overseas almost all my life. I think I only worked in my home country for like a year. Basically be open minded, learn to make compromises, accept that you cannot always live the way you lived at home, be ready to accept to see the world in the way your host country sees it, and you should like…

While I can do 3D modeling and texture work I am not a traditional artist, but that is what an art team is for in a studio; because I don't have an art team the next best thing is outsourcing which comes in the way…
