I don't freelance anymore, but when I did here is how I got jobs. The first thing was that I worked at a large studio for five years previously and built up a network. My connections moved around over the years and worked at various studios. When they needed some outside help they would come to me because of the work I've…
I feel safer having every Joe with a gun. I would rather 250 people die a year for example than have another USSR, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan round up innocent people and kill them by the millions, just saying... It will happen again, and it is going to happen where there is the least resistance which is a populace…
Go to the guide section in the Modo SE hub and watch the videos. Greg shows you the process he made to create the Dota 2 weapon from scratch. Naturally you could apply all of that to TF2. It doesnt seem like Modo SE is built to quickly export to TF2 though, but you can use it. That said, Modo is one of those apps where you…
I really like the character design and also +1 to the character pass. I thought it looked awesome, but when I saw the paint over and read the suggestions, I completely agree. It will bring the already awesome character work, to a whole new level, with super simple tweaks :) As for the chicken boss... Thats hilariously…
It's a very complicated issue, but here are some things to consider: You have 2 types of investors, "Angel" and "Institutional". Angel investors are usually high net individuals/groups that invest money into your company in exchange for stock/ownership in the company. More Rarely, they will invest for royalty or ownership…
I agree with Teriyaki as well, You should really try to work from established concepts, try working on company art tests like the arena net art test, they are a great way to gauge your own ability as you do them and the look good on a portfolio as well. Also you need to trust in your normal maps more, there is no need for…
Compeletely agree with all the comments about how long and hard it will be. I decided specialising in 3D character art and started working for it seriously ( and I mean 9 to 6 almost everyday, I had the time) 2 and a half years ago. If you click the link below you will see I can't even touch the guys who I am supposed to…
Thank you for the respond HAWK12HT. :0) Because i'm learning all from tutorials(not school)I'm little confused. I would like someday to become an environment artist(games).And my confusing it comes from this..Lets say when i see in some careers page(companys)the perfect candidate need to have skills…
@Ashervisalis My first post on Q2pmp (polycount's forerunner) was met with the founder of this site calling my work utter dogshit. Later on, I was also treated to a critique by Paul steed (or id fame) calling my work garbage. May he rest in peace. So, I frankly find the current crop of "don't even nudge my feelings in the…
First off, I think you are way off on your assessment that Ubi doesn't want to see assets from their style of game. Man, that is exactly what they want to see. They don't care if you design your own characters and whatnot. They want to know that if they hire you, you can jump in to what they are working on and not miss a…
