Hello fags, I'm a 3d modeller, animator, rigger ect with about 7 years of experience just working on my own projects.
Did fiverr for a while but some pajeet scammers asked for my services and then gave me a bad rating despite doing what they asked and basically removed my listings from the algorithm. So i quit that a few years ago and have just been wage cucking and working on my own projects again.
When i apply to jobs on ArtStation or workwithindies i never get a response.
Even though the stuff in my portoflio is decent enough, had a few interviews and failed the tests because they had some retarded instructions that didnt make any sense, even after i asked for clarification. then they failed me and only then were able to give me feedback on what they actually wanted.
so idk if im just unlucky or if this is what everyone else is dealing with.
What have you guys found success in?

Stop going for positions where the supply outweighs the demand lmao. You clearly know how to rig so be a rigger and be good at it to the point faggots will pay you good money.

If you want to be a wagie you should become acustomed to the retardation of your workplace, you boss and your peers. Stupidity is bureaucracy's best friend. Even as a freelancer bad inputa are more common than good inputs. Source: worked in a huge ass construction company.

I think there are only a few working anonymous on this board, and you won't get the best advice here. Go ask proper 3D forums, I'm not even joking. Why do you want the advice of two and a half mentally ill neets?

I got a couple commissions by submitting one of my passion projects to this in-person short film contest at the local theater here. Just submit to something small-time so you can win, and if it really hits people will want to talk to you afterwards. And don't get discouraged if it flops, I had another submission get booed off before I won

As a 3rd worlder
I just sell shit on turbosquid. Make like 5 bucks a year but it's fine.
I like how when I'm done with a project and upload it I don't have to think about it

vfx is not hiring now, and I don't see the market picking up till jan/Feb. Game studios will still be hiring till late October but once November hits its a dead zone for jobs till next year. You can be a generalist but do master one thing. I suggest reaching out to artist on LinkedIn for advice on your reel. Getting a job in this industry is 65% skill, 35% networking. I've been in the industry for ten years and have seen some real dog shit players rise cause they network well. Good luck.

Okay that was hyperbolic
I made some silly characters and some other stuff like picrel
My total sales on turbosquid are like 200$ but they take 50% of that
I really need to get serious and make more stuff problem is I'm lazy

That was pajeets taking out the competition by algorithm abuse.
I've had success knocking up married pajeetas and living off hubby's H1b visa income.
