ok I gotta head guys...enjoy!

29 Jun 15:13

Jake parker spoken about it.

29 Jun 15:12

everytime i go there i look at what im working on and think this has to be better

29 Jun 15:12

I meant a personal project you start and finish. Not staying on it for whoever knows how long, without showing it to the public.

29 Jun 15:12

I KNOW

29 Jun 15:12

gotta be in it to win it

29 Jun 15:12

artstation competition is brutal tho, with everyone else just being 1 click away

29 Jun 15:12

I have for projects that werent my own but what im working on now is pretty much exactly what i would like to work on

29 Jun 15:11

You mean character design?

29 Jun 15:11

Not saying it's consistent, but it seems to get a wide audience. Definitely ArtStation for more AAA stuff

29 Jun 15:11

I am curious Nicholas, I am by no means a working professional, but have you started and finish personal project for the very thing you wanted to do?

29 Jun 15:11

i thought it was just kids

29 Jun 15:10

damn I rarely use DA lol

29 Jun 15:10

True story though. My highest paying gigs and best clients found me on dA

29 Jun 15:10

lol

29 Jun 15:10

but im really looking forward to it, i think its gonna be something that hasnt really been done before as a challenge and it can be really useful for your personal growth as an artist

29 Jun 15:10

29 Jun 15:10

So do you guys get a lot of gigs from connections? thats what i struggle with the most but everyone says thats how you really break into mid to high tier paying jobs with good companies

29 Jun 15:09

yeah, it's coming next month hopefully. i really want to make it good and also do some example pieces or a blog about it before it starts, but i got tons of stuff to finish before i can get to that

29 Jun 15:09

Most gigs are from the internet though

29 Jun 15:08

@Nic, yeah always deliver over and above...always.

29 Jun 15:07

And yes @Jan

29 Jun 15:07

I think one thing one can do is initiate personal projects for the thing you want to do. (Perfect example Ihor Caisne his latest series of Field of Thorns)

29 Jun 15:07

@hermi you mean the challenge?

29 Jun 15:07

Man it totally depends. With this one I was at a book signing event for White Cloud Worlds volume 3 which I was published in recently, and I met some friendly peeps at it. She said they were looking for an artist, and I just showed them the book. They hired me soon after.

29 Jun 15:06

Congrats Amit. And Jan weren't you the one that spoken about the idea you wanted to start?

29 Jun 15:06

and nice Amit so great they appreciated the hard work

29 Jun 15:06

and yeah Jan I was thinking of doing redesigns of pathfinder characters but im sort of torn on which publisher i want to target

29 Jun 15:06

good to see that it payed off

29 Jun 15:06

nice!
