Character Art Portfolio Review & Career Guidance
Mentor
Description
Get your portfolio reviewed by someone who has spent 20 years on the other side of the table.
I'm a character artist and art director with 13 shipped AAA titles, including the Wolfenstein franchise, Helldivers II, and Just Cause. I've built and led character teams, reviewed thousands of portfolios and job applications, and been the person deciding who gets hired and whose work is good enough to ship.
In this session, that's the perspective your portfolio gets.
What you'll gain:
- An honest, prioritized review of your portfolio: what's working, what to cut, and what's holding you back
- Concrete direction on what to make next to reach the roles you're aiming for
- Insight into how studios and art leads actually evaluate candidates, and what they look for beyond the images
- Straight answers to your career questions: portfolio strategy, applying to AAA versus outsourcing versus indie, or how to level up toward senior
What to prepare:
- A link to your portfolio (ArtStation or similar)
- A short note on where you're trying to go: the roles, studios, or type of work you want
- Any specific questions you want answered
Who this is for:
Character artists (and generalists with character ambitions) at student, junior, or mid level who want honest, actionable feedback rather than polite encouragement. If you want to know what a hiring lead really thinks when they open your portfolio, this is that conversation.
One hour, one-on-one, focused entirely on your work and your next step.
Sessions come with a written follow-up summarizing the feedback and your next steps.
