Eww, sorry to hear freelancing didn’t work out yet! D: Do you know why? Don’t know what you submitted in your portfolio, but from your illustration/especially creature stuff I’d have sworn you would get quite a few freelance jobs. Don’t starve!

If you need concept stuff in your portfolio really depends on what you would like to do I think - if you’re into concept art as well, why not make some in-depth creature or character explorations, then make them into some nice character sheets? Ideally something that’s a bit connected to each other. If you’re aimless about what to do next, I think you would profit from doing some kind of personal project/IP… just something to base your portfolio around, something that both connects your work and makes it feel coherent, and also gives you a some kind of starting point what to work on next. I’ve heard that having some kind of central theme connecting your portfolio is something art directors etc like because it shows you can stick to an IP and not just produce single pieces. Not my own experience though, just repeating what I’ve heard - sorry.

Those character explorations and designs are reeeeeaally cool <3
