You want to be awesome to work with? Start with treating others how you want to be treated. Ask questions, don't make assumptions, be timely with responses, and kind. Kind does not mean avoid conflict. Avoidance is not kindness.

100% agree here

Avoid padding your porfolio with work that is not high quality/does not represent your skillset today accurately and not in-line with the type of art you want to make. Focus and get your skillset high in that one area

Making fan art pieces for your #gameart porfolio is excellent. Especially if you want to work on an established project. But avoid using the logo from that project unless you contributed to that project directly. Let your art speak instead of a logo

Portfolio pieces for your #gameart portfolio do not have to be large scale. Make smaller scale, higher quality work and increase your scale gradually. Awesome example of this by Matteo Maravalle www.artstation.com/artwork/eaPxqw

The amount of information that #handpainted #gameart textures convey to the viewer is one of the things I love most about this type of art style. Example by by-Chengdu Pugui education technology Co.,Ltd www.artstation.com/pugui
