I certainly took it all on the chin, its why I kept all the old work and I was consistently looking for ways to upgrade them. Many students graduating with me destroyed their work and nuked portfolios humiliated by the criticism they received. The subjectivity in reviewing portfolio's isn't emphasized enough. But I can't…
Yeah pretty good read. I think we'd all agree with it. The problem with the money argument though is that it opens the door for some bad practices. Some companies have figured out how to put their crew on OT, while essentially paying the same as they would have otherwise. They bite off more than they can chew, sometimes…

Hey all! My name is Diego Teran, I'm a Senior Hard Surface OS Artist here at Insomniac Games. Were looking for another awesome artist to join our family :) You would be working alongside me on some badass unannounced games. Comment with a link to your portfolio :) Here is the link and job description:…
I had the exact portfolio shown in my signature, and never even received any art tests from companies. When I moved to where the oportunities are, it took me a couple of months to find my first internship. But I had a backup plan and the risk for me was minimal. I'd suggest you start selling 3d models online, try…
Looking over the site so far I'm not sure how this works exactly it seems to be targeted towards studios that want to outsource training but doesnt seem to offer a curruculum or workshop page to view what's available. Edit: I've found the courses but it seems they are pre recorded, I was also hoping for something with a…

Word Far as I know you'll need a security clearance to be able to handle semi classified material (like for references), so you don't have to worry about losing your job to overseas outsourcing or cheap remote artist. One thing to keep in mind though is the stuff you make you may not be able to show in public...ever. So…
I think its safe to assume the staffing numbers would pretty much mimic that graph. A single artist might fall below 1% of the 25% slice, especially when you factor in that is the budget for the whole art department not just salaries, it includes outsourcing, equipment ect. You might see a smaller slice going to CEO's but…
I think most of the animation in Legend of Korra started as hand drawn animations, sort of the classic way. I'm guessing the clean up could have been done in a number of programs, either it being ToonBoom or something like Retas Pro http://www.celsys.co.jp/en/products/retas/index.html Overall though it might be a little…
