It seems pretty straight forward to me. Say you want to have a job @ company X, so you make something that looks like what they are working on right now to show them you are interested and can do that sort of stuff. You could maybe even try and find someone who works there and show it to them etc, its typically better to…
Hey Art-Machine, Looking at your portfolio its sad to hear you cant find a job, your stuff is amazing and you obviously have industry experience so i don't know why no one has snatched you up yet! The only thing i can say to do is work on a generic space marine or something you'd see in a modern warfare, Yeah i know there…
dude, i don't know if my story can help you somehow, but, since i was in Brazil, i remember myself applying to tons of companies, and I got a job in US after trying for 2 years! Was not enough I got into a company that was not even able to pay for my salary and in this last week I got laid off, and after a week I got an…
I would like to add to my previous thread Japan, Korea and China are very good place for a job in Game industry today. But the main barrier is not 3D but the language! I am french but I first leaned English with my 3D job for a better job. It helped a me a lot. But today I am living in Japan cannot find any job in the…
the biggest issue i have , is that your sort of "self destroing" your chances, you were offered temporary freelance work that might put some money on your pocket , , but you shrug it saying you need stability ( ??? , i mean you have no job, how come refusing work that comes your way when you need it is to be considered…
I agree as well,this is a brutal industry and you have to have thick skin to make it. Perna's advice may seem brutal but its also true. At my old job i used to sit next to the guy in charge og hiring animators and the cheer amount of time he spent looking through reels and applications was mind blowing. With as many people…
Your work looks pretty cool to me. A superb eye for color, clean fluent control of flowing 3d forms and a rich selection of fantasy or fantastical styled pieces. Have you tried Blizzard?Or Bioware? The only thing I can see that could possibly hurt you is that you are very stylish and there are more realistic or modern…

You have some great work, it's clear you have talent. I don't think there is any issue there with the quality of your work. Given the number of studio layoff's happening of late it's clear that now isn't the best time in terms of abundance of jobs no. Although we as a studio actually have the opposite problem and can't…
I really do feel for you Art-Machine, the industry is very very difficult at the moment, atleast in the UK anyway. Ive been real unlucky so far when I apply to places, I try to make sure I have atleast a few pieces that are relevant to that studio and I always get the same reply. "Your works really good but we are just not…
