From personal experience, even if you're skilled at different roles you can really just physically do one thing at a time. If you're making a portfolio to get work I recommend marketing yourself as a specialist. You can have multi folios online but each separated by a specialty. You can also have the all-in-one portfolio,…
As others have said at many companies, an asset/prop artist and an environment artist are 2 different positions. And don't get the environment artist confused with a level designer. An environment artist depending on the studio of course, should have the ability to sculpt terrain, light (sometimes, depending on size of the…
Yeah, an active internet presence is probably the simplest form of networking you can do. You don't have to break out the yellowpages and start cold calling people to network. So, expanding on this concept a little, here are some great ways you can network simply by posting on the internet.* Post your art in pimping,…
That depends on the use of the model in the game, and if it's either for a mobile or a PC/console game. If the ship is proportionally life-sized "environment piece" where player can walk around the ship, while it sails on the ocean or something, then 15k alone may be too low. It could be even close to 100k or more, if it…
Hmm. What I would do is have a home page that features your generalist demo reel (embedded in the page, not a popup) and several nice big shiny image that showcase projects in which you did many different aspects of the work. And then, in a navigation bar up top have a bunch of links that take you to separate pages that…
Hey dude, I like what you're going for here. It looks like you're trying to push the stylization of her curves past where the concept takes it, which I'm totally on board with. When dealing with stylized female anatomy, there's a pretty fine line between successful and ridiculous. I'd recommend checking out Neox's Chris…
It will have set of sections such as: Pimp and preview 3d showcase Technical Talk Competitions etc to help you beef up your art skills. And yes, as almighty_gir said; we've all been enrolled the moment we signed up for this website. I wish we have good assigned artists as professors who would give us a…
Hmmm... I'm going to have to disagree with this. As you can see... this entire scene is fairly desaturated to begin with, and those pipes are a welcomed colour. Now... the problem is I think you need something to balance the scene resting at the bottom. You kinnndaa have something happening with those red cola cans, but I…
Thank you very much emerald! I appreciate the depth of critism you have given me. In terms of focusing on a specific type of art (character, environement or props) what if say an employer is looking for someone who can model animals and cars and guns. If for example I focus on just characters would that not limit my…
