Are you struggling to get your foot in the door as an artist because every job requires professional experience? It can be a frustrating catch-22. But fear not, because I have a solution for you: fake it 'till you make it!
In this 4-part series, we'll be designing and painting a squad of characters that look like they were made for a "real world" paid project. It's the perfect framework to self-direct and create a final portfolio piece that is incredibly compelling.
Introducing the DPS Character Squad Challenge! 🎺🎵 Join our amazing Discord community at / discord and participate with a bunch of cool artists. And even if you stumble across this video years from now, give it a try! It's a great way to build your pro portfolio pieces and gain experience, even if you're not technically a "pro" yet.
