What are your main struggles when it comes to getting a job in the games industry?
Hello everyone, Currently, I am trying to help students who want to get into the games industry and I'm doing some research.

- 1) I graduated 10 years ago, in animation, and I switched over to Environment Art at some point. But, back then, I tried to crank out other animations, outside of what was assigned during school/college. 2) It might be the side projects or the experience, or who you know.

The 2 main reasons I have not yet scored a job; 1) A surplus of artists who are better than me. 2) Need experience. Obviously as time goes on, I become a better artist.
