what Mcejn said. don't work for free, your portfolio is decent, better than most. it shows good variety and exectution, with the exception of the bottom right image... that guy is letting you down. if i had one piece of advice, and i realise it might not mean much coming from me... focus on either character or environment…
I can personally vouch for not taking a unpaied internship, I just ended one and I just came out feeling used. To top it off I don't think I'll get credit for anything I worked on and none of it can go in my portfolio. The work you have is good, you just have to keep trying at studios, it's what I'm doing.

Okay, I changed the title to what Nerf Bat Ninja recommended, and I'll start focusing on just Environment pieces from this point on. Thanks again guys, the guidance is really appreciated. Anyone have any tips on what studios might be looking for entry/junior level artists? It always seems like all the job postings are for…
agree. apply for a real position. streamline your folio, or make 2 versions. right now it says character / environment artist. choose either one. listing both just confuses people as to what you really want and indecisive people don't look good. Nerf Bat Ninja said it - env art is the way to go for now. keep working on our…
