hello! i'm a big fan of your art and your work is honestly super inspiring! i'm honestly looking to be hired to draw CGs/sprites, and i've been drawing for ages but i have no idea where to start with making a portfolio and i was wondering if you had any tips?
Hi! So the easiest place to start is to showcase off what you can do specifically with CGs and sprites. When I first started out i drew up these sprite examples:
haha wow those are old, anywaysssss, you don’t need someone to commission you for you to do one of these, its good practice and you can have fun doing it with an OC or something! But don’t feel pressured to have to draw one of these, any art that you’ve done that showcases your skill at drawing characters is totally usable for a portfolio! However having a nice clean layout might make you look more professional ;)
As for CG art, CGs are just illustrations. There’s no clearcut definition to what a CG maybe, so just include any illustrations you’re proud of in your portfolio!
Now if you’re looking to get out there and advertise your services, I’d recommend the lemmesoft forums. Its a forum specifically for visual novels. Post what you’ve got on the “Artists for Hire” board and see what comes your way!
There’s also a new site that’s getting launched: https://www.storydevs.comI think all you can do right now on it is reserve a username, but it looks like a promising place to be!
Hopefully that answers your questions! If you want to know anything further message me off anon, it’s a lot easier to talk! ;)
