Hi, ADs. This time of year there always seems to be a ton of big, serious art challenges going on for fantasy art. I’ve also been doing smaller weekly challenges, run by artists working in the industry I want to work for, as a means of practice for real deadlines and “real” work. Thoughts on these types of things? Do AD’s actually pay attention to these? Would it be held against me if my portfolio update for winter consists of mostly/all pieces done for these challenges(tailored of course)?Thnx!
#MerMay, #JuneFae, #Inktober, #MonthOfFear, #MonthOfLove, WE LOVE THAT SHIT. ADs are constantly checking in on those tags. I think there’s even a #Gnomvember. Ridiculous.
Will we think less of you if your portfolio is all those pieces? No, we won’t think less of you, we’ll just think you’re someone just starting out. If you’re not JUST starting out, then you should have some client work in your portfolio as well so it’s shown that you have some professional experience. But if you’re new & starting out, then it’s fine! I personally have found many artists thru these tags.
