Very interesting brush strokes! I can really dig your style.

Also can relate a lot to the discussion that happened earlier in the thread. Out of curiosity, in the beginning of the thread you said something along the lines of maybe landing a job with art, are you still considering that? If so, what kind of job do you see yourself doing and how do you reconcile it with drawing for art's sake? Genuinely interested in how you're currently trying to navigate all this.

Thanks, mate!  Hm, do i consider landing a job sometime in the future? If things go well artwise, for sure. I'm not sure i'll be a good fit for some gamedev studio, even for a junior, since i don't have any actual experience in the field. Last time i checked LinkedIn for open positions it was at least 40-50 candidates on a role (2d concept-art). Usually the competition is even bigger, especially for non-casual game dev studios. Bearing that in mind and knowing that the " conceptart market" is really oversaturated nowadays I don't think i'll land anything worthwhile. I also don't have any contacts in the industry. Many people find jobs just by being friends with somebody or being a relative to somebody. Probably it would be easier to land a job in mobile games, but i don't think i am up for that either. To answer your question I'd probably do some illustrative work, because it encapsulates everything that i'm interested in (painting, color, mood, perspective, anatomy, design e.t.c). It's like all in one. Maybe i can try myself at card games (card illustrations, or books).  See, the point is that at the end of the day a job is a job. Sometimes it goes in hand with your interests and the rest of time you are working (not necessarily for art's sake) for a paycheck. For now art is fun, trying to get better, exploration. It might be different with an art job, might not. I can only now if I try.
