Woo hoo! after something like 5 months of endless searching and odd boring jobs I finally landed my first decent freelance illustration job of 2008 Very Happy

Ive been given the job of lead concept artist for a new MMORTS. I can't reveal which one due to an agreement but I can assure you its a great one Very Happy

I cant wait to get started, the money isnt as good as what I'd hoped but fuck it Ive always wanted to work on a game and now is my chance Very HappyVery HappyVery HappyVery Happy

Im so happy right now, It feels like all the late nights and early mornings payed off finally.

Na, I doubt it. Its a one off project with no promise of further work.

Its a great portfolio booster, though. Lead concept artist is quite the title indeed Smile

The deadline is nice and far away too, plenty of time to experiment.

Did You base it on anything? Looks quite decent and it's hard to give solid opinion since it's obviously not finished yet.

Didn't You agreed on some NDA terms? You gonna get Your ass sued, bitch!

Honestly, more like 5K a year. Im pretty small time at the moment. But I know guys who earn almost 5 K a week, they just have the right contacts. It is a huge salary if you know where to look and have the portfolio to support the big clients. Its the kind of job where you only need to work for a week then can support yourself for a couple of months from one payday. Its lucrative, but like I said, you have to know where to find the work + have a good portfolio to back you up because its very competitive.
