Including this in an environment artist portfolio?
Keep in mind this is regarding a junior position and the applicant would have little to no industry experience. If an artist designed and created their own game demo from the ground up, would the employer care? While the portfolio should primarily have relevant artwork for the position, including concept art and design… -
Re: Including this in an environment artist portfolio?
Alright thanks for the opinions. For now I'll consider including them at the end. I have a link to my portfolio main page in my signature, but here are direct links to the concept section and the game: Concepts: http://dariksmith.carbonmade.com/projects/5088296 Game: http://dariksmith.carbonmade.com/projects/5435078#1 Keep… -

I'd have it on your portfolio in a separate section. If they think it's relevant they'll look at it. -

For me that'd be a huge plus. It shows that the applicant can't just make pretty art, but can also get through all the inevitable problem solving required to make a game. Very valuable skill in my opinion, even if the position is just for a "pure" artist. -

Re: Including this in an environment artist portfolio?
Hmm I'm on phone so I'll keep this short. If it looks good and is cool, slot it in the last slot on your portfolio main page. I have a character in my folio but I see no reason to remove it or hide it just because I'm trying to get an env art or prop position. None of the interviews i ve had have mentioned that my…
