I graduated from art school and my portfolio wasn’t ready for industry work. I had a stressful-full time job to pay the bills. I worked my ass off during my free time and took courses/rebuilt my portfolio for 3 years straight.
Then I got a job as a lead concept artist.

I'm 27 and have worked in the games industry full-time as a concept artist for the past two years.
I studied comics at SCAD but then pivoted after graduating in 2017. I took additional classes, did freelance work, and had day jobs for a few years until I landed a studio job!
I'm 27 and I've been working in the games industry for the past 2(ish) years.
Originally I studied 2d animation, and graduated in 2017.
It took me about 4 years of self study before i landed on my feet.
