My Portfolio - 5 Years of freelancing - The best I've done so far..
Hello Steemers!
As some of you know I am an artist for games and film and more!
For the last 5 years i have been working as a freelance concept artist & illustrator.
In these 5 years I have worked for a bunch of projects ranging from miniatures for tabletop rpgs, to the book for these games.. Video games on PC, Xbox, PS4/3, mobiles, card games.. even on a ride for one the leading themeparks here in Europe.
Which is super cool! .. Though one of the problems you always run into is called 'NDA'.. Non disclosure agreement.
In other words it means; 'Hey.. That work you did for us.. Really cool!.. You can't show it to anyone! okay thanks bye!'
It is something that seems to be happening more and more..
But a portfolio is from vital importance as a freelancer. If I have nothing to show for.. How will anyone find me or know how good/bad I am.. and I'm asking the dayrate i'm asking!
One of the few options you are left with is try to make personal work.. Stuff that isn't owned by anyone!
That you can always put in your portfolio! Of course you have to find the time and motivation to make any.. I for example are most of the time working for about 8 hours a day on 'work' 'work'.. After that I find it quite hard to find some energy to make some stuff for myself!.
Anyway.. I'd like to share with you a big part of my portfolio because I'm curious to what you guys think.
And to perhaps for aspiring artists to see what I have that gets me jobs/work/commissions/licensing deals etc.
My portfolio: (some of these images have already been posted on steemit!)
There is usually quite a few more.. But These are most of the times the images I like to show the most..
Though I realize this might be a bit too much! :D
Anyway I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you so much for your time!
Cheers
Rogier

@beekart
Very uncool comment. Begging for upvotes is not good etiquette.
those people are instantly ignored :/ most of the time they didnt even upvote anyway .. eventhough they do say they did..
Your color palet is astonishing. I especially love that fiora-paint demonist and the 2nd painting as they show the personality of the character more deeply compared to the others. Also taht hunter in the snow. I love stories haha. That's why the 1st one and the night elve I find them less interesting (technically I can't say anything I love it) but in terms of storytelling they are a bit under the others I think (for the 1st warrior I think it is because of the background).
But anyway, just rambling a bit haha I'm still faaaaaaaar from that level x) Cheers man !
haha thanks mate appreciate your in depth review ;))))) Cheers bro!
As a beginner freelancer, I aspire to reach this level of awesomeness !
Thank you for your kind words!
You will get there for sure! Just a matter of time and hard work! :D
you are very talented :)
:P thnks
Amazing artwork and I totally agree that the NDA stinks. Following.
thank you so much :D welcome to the club haha
Wow, nice portfolio @beekart! Have to resteem this! ;)
yay! :D thanks .. did u get ur prints yet?!
Not yet! ;) But I'm sure they'll arrive this week! Aww I'm so looking forward to receive them!! :D
So cool man really love this style. You must dedicate a lot of time to your art and it really shows. Bummer about the NDIA's but you can see the skill and dedication you have just in a few images. Keep crushing it!
Thanks mate! I will share the stuff when it comes out of NDA though unfortunately sometimes the work never gets released and it will remain unseen forever!! dramatic music ;D
It's impressive, with a wide variety of images. You have man, woman, backgrounds, legendary creatures, space ships,... I would like to have such a varied portofio.. But as you say, it needs time and motivation after working all day... Not always easy! Congratulations ! :-)
Thank you so much! :)
I was lucky to get such different jobs, so I get to do different stuff all the time :D its fun! :)
