They do expect that you have some specialization (see "...depending on your specialization...") and they seem to offer multiple internships. That's the tough question you have to answer now - market yourself as generalist - or do you look stronger just presenting a certain side of yourself. What do you want to do most?…
From what I gather a lot of the backlash is toward the people who are trying to legitimize their so-called craft by calling themselves "AI Concept Artist", or "AI Prompt Artist" or other BS like that. For me, while I can certainly be impressed by AI-generated art itself, I don't think I could ever be impressed or in awe of…
Back with a different approach. Still for a test character to try out U4. Going for a more cartoony style. The prototype is going to be blade runner X Megaman. The playable character is a police officer for robots gone bad. I really liked the approach the used for deus ex HR, with the cyber renaissance. So I thought about…
It wouldn't be the worst way. You would learn a lot about optimization I would assume and you'd be working with art directors and other artists, as well as QA people. If you can afford to live off 15/hr and want to start in that way, go right ahead. If you have the skill and education (or knowledge) to get you an entry…
So much win with this guy! I think the palm trees and bright blue are really fitting the them and humour of your entry, cool presentation! Maybe add a frame or some borders? The HR sculpt seem to be floating, you should paint a quick shadow in toshop. One minor but important thing is that the font you use for your email is…
I think the layoffs in the games industry are worse than the rest of the tech industry simply because in the games industry, it seems like when a project fails, the first people to get tossed out are the developers themselves. Microsoft laid off 18,000+ people recently which is unfortunate since nobody deserves to lose…
@DBetts You're probably referring to the hair Marco did. I saw him do it, it was wonderful :) He likes to break down his growth mesh in many polygroups. These are transfered automatically afterward to the fibermesh and they aid tremendously in selecting hair clumps for editing. @Brian There's a definite inspiration from…
True in the US as well. Freelancers are considered small businesses, and if you aren't prepared, the additional taxes can be brutal. Plan ahead! $35/hr sounds middle of the road to me. Maybe slightly on the low end. However, the most important thing is to calculate your cost of living VS your freelance rate. I'd say you…
MGS is amazing. I've been playing it for around 6 hrs now. Just having fun wiht it. Just the amount of encounters and how everything plays different every single time is awesome. It might not be the biggest of maps, but the amount of content that you can interact with and play with is so much. Plus all side missions bring…
Do you have a portfolio? Most art leads/HR want to look at a website rather than a video, saves them time. I take it you want to be a character artist? That has a tough barrier of entry, your work needs to be superb. Hopefully a character artist will comment. Overall your work is good, your worst is the militia guy and…
