Thank you Eric, The info I am getting is mostly mixed with some saying that 35 is considered to be "old" in the industry and yet I have seen posts from other artists being in their 40s and are still working in this industry. I've also read that the number of older artists in the industry is practically 1% compared to all…
As work experience, anything where someone pays you is better than when someone is not paying you. Of course there's the obvious financial benefit. But it's also better because you are managing payments, managing clients, etc., which are important skills to learn. However, freelance experience is not all that applicable to…
if i am not mistaken, he is a freelancer. Of course he would use whatever workflow which makes him deliver faster and better results. Unless it is proprietary tech obviously. At one point any production will end, and a freelancer will get hired, probably in a similar field. How should they reset their knowledge? Of course…
well it reads fairly clear I think . I have been steering clear of the the whole, sculpt/retopo workflow in my freelance work because revisions take so long . most of my freelance work is straight subd modelling with basic texturing, because its quicker, but the work I do is pre rendered on the whole, so not everything is…
Sorry to hear that NAIMA. Were you doing all this work for Avatar Reality the whole time? I was under the impression that this island you were working on was for your portfolio. I think if a company was on the lookout for an environment artist to take on a bunch of foliage and/or a tropical setting you'd have no problem…
Thanks Debrazputin! Executex and _Kratos_: I'm the only full timer working on this at the moment (well, I actually work during the day freelance and then moonlight on this project) in the evening generally. Aside from paying myself enough to pay the rent, all money I earn as a freelancer is saved up for the past couple of…
My goal for the next months (till my summer vacations start) is to build a solid portfolio showcasing skills in various areas of 3d, characters, props & environment, weapons... so I can get some better freelance jobs during that university free time. (By the way, if you have some freelance work to be done after July don't…
The company I work for fulltime now (Ritual) is really laid back about freelance stuff, they don't really care what I do in my spare time, and thats how I like it. When the issue is not brought up in your face you don't feel like there is an issue at all. For me personally I want to work on alot of different things,…
I finally had the time to finish this! I have been very busy working a 9-5 studio job and doing freelance in the evenings which left barely any free time for me to work on my own things. It was a tough decision for me but I finally decided to transition to full time freelance because it's been working out well for me. I…
I wanted to reinterpret G-Man from the Half-Life universe. Here is the initial rough out. I decided against using the game models as reference, they're too stylized, so I searched for awhile and have chosen a loose interpretation of Clint Eastwood instead. Their bone structure is similar and I prefer that he looks quite a…
