Hello, Scott!
I've been working as a freelancer for a few years doing private commissions but i want to start working in the Game Dev industry as a concept artist and 3D Artist.
Is having a diploma/degree necessary to get hired and eventually reach more advanced positions (such as an Art Director) in a studio? What helped you most when getting hired? If you manage hiring other artists, what did you look for in their portfolios? Did you look for studies or degrees?
Thank you kindly for the chance!

Real talk. I don't even know where my college diploma is. I have never needed it for anything since I 'graduated' from art school. I'm entirely serious. The coolest thing about my diploma and the only reason I'd have to dig it out is the fact that it has Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature on it, because he was the governor of California at the time that I graduated. "GETODACHOPPA!!"
Another question i had is what kind of effect would posting erotic/suggestive art on my account have on my chances of getting hired?
I am currently working on a comic which sometimes has mature (however not explicit, as i'm not very comfortable doing that. Think Stjepan Sejic style) scenes in order to explore the characters.
Hello!
Do you have recommendations for "reigning in" imagination or inspiration? I find that when drawing a scene, my mind constructs a whole "movie" way too fast and my body cannot humanly keep up. Sometimes it can be quite frustrating since i find it hard to focus on a single "frame".
