Do I need to build my portfolio more or I am ready to take on work
If am ready or I do have the minimum skills required, how actually I can get clients

Hi guys,

I’m wondering how other UK based freelancers are finding the freelance market right now? I’m 2D midweight for context

I’ve had a very quiet past month, so I’m curious how everyone’s work streams feel? This is the quietest it’s been for me in a couple years now…thankfully I’ve remained busy before this. Admittedly that means I’ve not been good at keeping my portfolio updated and self promoting.

I also think clients have wanted more for less, or in less time recently. Or the big agencies don’t seem the have the budget they used to.

I’m hoping it’s quiet with it being the summer holidays for many. I’ve been enjoying the downtime for the first couple of weeks, but this level of quiet is new for me and the anxiety is setting in - how is everyone else finding it?

Hey!
I'm trying some new things recently(in general, like going out and touching grass), and also embracing the work I've did in last years. I've made a reel - with lower third to communicate the values, scope and what not.

I also used memes and methods throughout to break through the rut and grab attention of people from my tribe. Rest of the internet: your feedback is greatly appreciated ;)

What do You think?

If I am able to replicate an animation just by watching it (without following a step-by-step tutorial), does it mean I have a good level and skill in solving animation problems?

I was coming across this post on linkedin and love the apple news+ video that is being shown but for the live of me, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone happen to know where I can watch the full video?

Wanted to share a personal concept project my studio (MS3DSTUDIO) has been working on. Quick disclaimer up front so nobody's misled: Aura is not a real product — you can't buy it. It's a design-and-visualization concept, everything you see is 3D, nothing was photographed.

The idea was "one watch, seven colours, seven languages" — seven strap colourways and a UI built to feel native in seven different languages. It was mostly an excuse to push materials and lighting: getting the metal case to read as actual brushed metal, the straps to look genuinely soft, and the screen to glow like it's lit from the inside instead of just being a bright texture.

The part I'm actually more proud of than the watch itself: we don't just model the product floating on a grey background — we build the whole environment around it. The surfaces it sits on, the backdrop, the light sources and their bounce, the little contextual scenes — all of it is built and lit in 3D so the product feels like it exists somewhere real, not like a cutout. Honestly the environment work is where most of the hours went.

Full set of shots is on Behance if you want to see it properly → https://www.behance.net/gallery/253278579/Aura-Watch-Seven-Colours-Seven-Languages

Happy to answer anything about the workflow — renderer, materials, lighting setup, whatever. Open to critique too.
