Hi! Things you can try to get your hands dirty: * Bi-monthly challenge (any challenge really). Why it helps: fixed duration, concepts to work off, others potentially doing the same subject with perhaps different approach, gives reason to think about and articulate workflows. Fill additional parameters like style-specifics…
Hi folks, Remedy is looking for a Senior Environment Artist, here's the info: Remedy Entertainment, the creator of Max Payne® and Alan Wake®, and one of the leading independent game studios in the world is now looking for a Senior Environment Artist. We are looking for a great artist who wants to create visually stunning…
Hi all, I'm a Character artist currently studying traditional art and sculpture. I've worked with some cool indie studios like Mind Candy and Future Games of London - I'm now looking to work with more dedicated developers :) I try to offer indie-friendly rates, however I'm only able to take on paid work, no royalty based…
Hi everyone! My name is Hazel Brown and I've just finished my 3 year course at De Montfort University studying Game Art. I'm a 3D character artist with experience in Zbrush, 3Ds max, Substance Painter, Quixel, Marmoset and Unreal Engine 4 (I also know several other programs but I'm not as strong with those). I'm currently…
Hello! I'm actually in the middle of what you just described. After University (where I studied CGI) I managed to land a full-time job as an environment artist but it didn't fit me at all and I quit it after the end of the contract in April. Not only I was finding the job stressful and useless for my career but I also…
Yeah, I can see where that feeling comes from. A lot of pipelines today optimize for scalability and consistency rather than uniqueness. Procedural tools made production much more predictable, but at the same time they tend to converge toward similar visual patterns. At the same time though, I’m not sure the material side…
It's a toss up, but I'd say just work on your portfolio. A degree isn't as needed, although some schools have some close relationships with some studios. There are cases where the job you end up getting in games can be a lot different than what you studied in. I'm hoping another artist would chime in on this, I know there…
I like the scene so far (especially the typewriter), but I can't help but think that there's no story behind any of it. It looks like a generic study right now...boring. You've got a typewriter and a handful of books. Maybe make it a prolific author's writing studio--fill it with boxes of old screen plays, stacks of…
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. No need to call names. I haven't really gotten in to any ready made and branded game engines since I am working on mine and waiting in the slightest glimpse of hope for ubi-arts game engine, I would prefer to use unity because I am already studying c# and you can write scripts in c#…
Dude you say that you are moving in December ?? Do you have kids ?? it sounds like you feel your skills are not cutting it, and if you feel that way watch tutorials, study other peoples work, keep working and putting out new portfolio pieces until you feel like you are at that level . You have two and have months to put…
