Just to be somewhat of a counter point: I moved to LA early this year from Boston (I'm from Canada.) In order for me to move, I need to have a Visa purchased by a company...so...not having a job isn't an option for me. That being said: You "can" make it work, but you really need to be smart about it. i did a similar move…

Hello friends. I am an aspiring sculptor with no art background whose aim is to make realistic busts. I have been sculpting as a hobby for 3 years now. I have been taking it seriously for the last year (3-4 hours of sculpting nearly every day) and now I am feeling extremely stuck to a point where I am just considering…
[ QUOTE ] ...and honestly, you can always tell which pieces in a portfolio are class projects and which were created on their own time. [/ QUOTE ] How so? I'd assume that the class projects are not as good as personal projects. Whether it's because there's not enough time to complete the project 100% or because there's not…
I've just finished another project that I was working on and wanted to get some feedback on my portfolio standings. So my portfolio's short-comings in my eyes is: 1: Not enough finished characters, too many busts/WIPs (All the WIPs in the project titled "WIPs" are currently unable to be worked on, on a harddrive that I had…
Hey, I'm not taking part myself as I'm busy with another project :( but I like the HS prop and figured I might share my thoughts on in with others. As the concept seems very basic and has a lot of blank spaces it looks like a nice opportunity to approach it in creative way and build one's own ideas on top. I'd try adding…
Hey Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself, just a hobbiest modeler, started in 2d and self taught myself a little Zbrush. I mainly do dinosaurs and animals, my specialty is Jurassic Park Dinosaurs. Here is my newest model WIP..... Legs are the next thing i'm working on. My workflow is all over the place.…

Did a new character for fun, going the holy warrior knight route. Managed to bust havels ass (was a bit scary considering he could one shot me) and the hydra at super low levels just because i knew their attack patterns. Pretty interesting. I still play with my main character from time to time. Decided to go into catacombs…
With the amount of time it takes to be multitalented you might as well pick something to specialize in now. I'm just pulling these numbers out of my butt to make an example: Why spend the next 2 years busting your ass to have a bad ass environment & character art portfolio when you could spend a year focusing on one, get a…
