@John That´s a good way to put it. Probably most of the job opportunities i´ve seen would not pass that first stage. But at the end of the day what we need is clients that have respect for our work and wage, which will pressupose more respect for them as well.
@Amit Yeah, i have mixed feelings about fanart. Ii see a lot of great examples such as Dave Rapoza, Artgerm doing awesome fanart that stands on their feet, and if i´m correct helped them to have more visibility. On the other hand there are some professional concept artists/ illustrations as that say that people starting on the industry should avoid fanarts on the portfolio that provides an amateurish impression on the clients.
I personally like it, if it helps to have some income and provides some visibility, i´m totally fine with it, but i don´t want it to be the core of my portfolio.
Have you done character concept/design gigs? If so, could you help me by sharing some experience? Many thanks in advance.
Wow, it seems that you were pretty established on DA. Probably i should join a few groups.
That´s very nice advice Amit! At least for me was helpful!!
