Re: Feeling lost and hopeless out of education as a games artist
@Tiles you can be honest without being horrible like this. Your goal should be to help people while wanting them to still make art. Sometimes tough love can help some personalities, but it's not something I'd risk on a stranger. @jcourtchandler Welcome to the journey! The fact that you are posting and looking for answers… -

Being brutally honest? Your fundamentals (such as anatomy and lighting) are either novice level or non-existent and there's nothing about your work that feels concept art besides having a turnaround in it.

Re: Feeling lost and hopeless out of education as a games artist
not sure if you're following this thread anymore @jcourtchandler but you're just going to have to work hard. A lot harder. 4-5 hour grind sessions after work. Hours of tutorials. The kind of art on your portfolio looks like the stuff my friends doodled in freshman year, and they were not aspiring artists. I could tell you…
