Hey guys, Basically I've been offered to make a rig for a simple biped character (I can't post images) and about 10 or 15 simple animations (Dying, Running, etc) for it and it would be my first freelance job, so I don't wanna mess it up. I know about the Polycount wiki but I want to know your opinions and would appreciate…

can I? is it realistic? or am I much better off being an environment artist? I think making environments are boring, I'd much rather do mechanical, props, robots, guns, vehicles. I've been doing some freelance so far but the pay is extreamly low. Do I have to go get a degree in design or photography? or can I just continue…
