The job i was to aim for when i leave university is an environment artist. i want to be an environment artist because its something that has always caught my eye and is something i have always wanted to do ever since doing my games design course at college, i am also trying to aim towards some prop artist work because it is more of an entry level job into the industry which i think best caters towards be at the current time.
When i leave university if my portfolio and showreel are good enough from the modules in the last term i am going to apply for some jobs that i think suit my specification. i will also try and share my portfolio with some contacts at events such as game city in Nottingham when they come around in the following years
For my show reel i plan on putting my best piece of work at the front of it. i plan on including smaller props or dioramas on turntables with wire frame views with also poly count and texture sheets detailed in the video with them. ill have my email address throughout the showreel in the bottom corner to make sure it is easy to see and contact me if people want to.
If i dont get a job soon after finishing university i plan on creating a game with a small group of friends that have finished similar courses from different universities, if they also dont get a job in the same time frame. we will probably work together on a game for 6 months to get a good chunk of it done and then i will continue to work on my portfolio after i apply for jobs when i create a game and include it in a portfolio, if no jobs come after i have made the game then i will have more work to put in my portfolio after working on it for another 6 months while having another job which is not related to the games industry. i will continue to update a profile on 3D design to get my work out on them and to also gain feedback to further increase my chances of getting employed.
