If the idea is to use this exercise as a way to learn and practice something you enjoy (eg animation) then keep at it. As they say, you do you. If this is meant to become a game at some point i suggest you reconsider before you comit to such idea. Reasons being (brace yourself!): - it doesnt look fun to me, maybe because…
I don't think your character detracts from what is a very good portfolio for environment art. I mean if they reject you on that basis they ought to resign for lacking better judgement. Like if I saw your portfolio and said "You're only as strong as your weakest piece." It would be after taking a bullet to the side of my…
Well Bobos post really made me think differently about the themes I had before. Made me think of all the cool projects we would all wished we have been a part of, to try the style atleast.

I've had to deal with many different hands of cards as an Art lead: I've been provided with artists that were just plain truly abysmal, artists on my team that couldn't paint for…
Wow, would you guys like some cheese with that whine? I think I have some. It's called ass cheese, and there's a whole plate of it here for you. I made it fresh. First, the intent of the original change to US copyright law that allowed unregistered works to be instantly copyrighted was to give you more time to file a…
If there's no real work experience to compensate for this one still has to do some extra convincing in the interview stage (is the applicant mature enough to take directions and work with others?). Maybe they'll need to pass a test to make the hiring guys sure that their folio and chop's legit. Anyhow ohnein if you get…
