How to Get a Job as a Games Artist

Mon Sep 1, 2008, 3:12 PM
The question comes up on a fairly regular basis from friends and family...how does one get into the games industry as an artist?

I usually get the question from one of the parents of a student who is still in school, but wants to at least look into what's involved. I've been meaning for some time to write an in-depth article about it and I finally got off my butt and did.

So if you know anybody that has any questions on the topic, have them take a look.

Check it out here.

  • Mood: Content
  • Listening to: Silence
  • Reading: about Warhammer Online
  • Watching: my slowwww typing skills
  • Playing: Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty
  • Eating: Watermelon AGAIN
  • Drinking: Ice water with lemon juice. mmm..

Hey Xanaprime, I took a look at the project...looks like there's a lot of work going into it.

I won't be able to help out I'm afraid, as I barely have time to work on my own stuff. Been way too busy. :cry:

Are you working on it?
