That's a really difficult question to answer! I don't know. If I were you I'd try break it down a little further. First of all, should you pursue this as a career? By that I mean what is the state of the industry where you live? For me the local entertainment industry is for the most part a gig industry. That means no job…
But that's exactly the situation isn't it, there is little to no consistency across the hiring process. There are many factors, as you listed that influence the hiring process, and in most cases you don't hear a studio pointing out that you fell short because of your portfolio. I've seen my fair share of no reply, late…
I'd first go and check if the Ryzen platform is now mature or if it's still misbehaving and crashing and doing weird stuff in idle like a few weeks ago when it was released? From what I've read there's a risk you might be in for a PC modder experience at this point: trying a new firmware, Bios setting or driver version…
There seems to be a pretty big disparity between the two candidates (their portfolio at the time of hiring quanity as well as quality of work), was the first one hired as a junior? Personally in my opinion, while there is a benchmark of sorts, its the positions that are rare to find. A lot of hiring in this industry is…
Indeed Brian. I mostly like my art to be imagery. I have yet to test my 3d stuff. I haven't seen anything rigged or anything, and so far I've only used 3D as a thing to boost up my conceptual work. Yet the thing that I don't like about concept art is the learning curve. You have to study mostly on your own the…
Ysalex, You know I respect you as an artist I have said it on these forums in one way or another a few times now. Also, I put two and two together and I figured you had a young child and that was the source of your distraction, I totally get it. Did you start the clock the second you entered the room? At what point did the…
I think it really depends on the object and more importantly where your hosting it. Usually most sites that distribute models either for free or paid, have an assortment of licenses you can use when you upload your model. They also do specify that you have the rights to what you've created and they are simply the host.…
Since you don't have a aftermarket cooler in your shoping cart I assume you don't want to overclock. In this case you can go with a i7 4770 (saves ~$20) or a Xeon E3 1230v3 (if you can live without the iGPU, saves ~$70) as a CPU. You also don't need a Z87 board, go with H87 (saves ~90). The thermal compound is also not…
I have been asked to have more than one character for some roles and demonstrate character archetypes beyond what I have. Then again there are artists that have gotten work because of one character, or being good at making one type of character art (Hossien Diba comes to mind) so there's several factors involved. There is…
:poly142: lol, if I keep this pace of a weekend of work each month I might be able to finish by Christmas! But srsly, I haven't been a total slouch, I promise. I just finished up a bit of freelance which I received permission to show to aid in my job search, check it out in the WAYWO thread if you want:…
