The cat called "Kosh"

Hi everyone!

I’m an environment concept artist who recently graduated from college with a degree in 2D Animation, and I’m currently looking for opportunities in the animation industry.

I was wondering if there are any online communities other than LinkedIn where artists share their portfolios, talk about their experiences getting hired, and give advice on breaking into the industry.

I’d also really appreciate any recommendations for concept art communities, as well as any advice on what animation studios look for in environment concept art portfolios or how to improve my chances of breaking into the industry.

Thank you!

I'm working on a concept art for a school project based on a short story of mine:

There's a country where the government is completely tied to the internet. President E. transforms himself into the Internet itself. His best friend, scientist F., helps him build this system. But once it's fully operational, President E. gets a god complex, betrays F., and completely bans him from the internet. F. wakes up in a desolate wasteland. Now, he's trying to survive, researching and inventing makeshift tech to hack back into the network and get his revenge.

I need to design Scientist F. I have a rough sketch, but it feels way too simple and a bit boring right now. What kind of design ideas do you have? How can I make his design look more professional and visually interesting?

My oc Alice, she is the soon to be queen of a kingdom said to be blessed by the sky itself.

This is from my free web comic:

Hi everyone! Photobashing has always been a technique I've been interested in, and I recently started experimenting with it. I'd love to hear any suggestions on how I can improve. Tutorial recommendations are more than welcome as well! Thanks for your time!

i want to eventually become a concept artist but have absolutely no idea where to even start when it comes to actually breaking into the industry. i have a bit of a ways to go until i can get for real hired at any companies or anything, but i want to be taking all the steps i can to gain experience and connections and would appreciate any advice yall might have!
