Freelance Rules


This forum provides a place for freelance artists to post their resumes, and companies looking to contract out work to post adds.

• 1. THIS IS NOT a place to critique/comment on other people's work, those sort of response need to be kept in Pimping and will be deleted without notice here(if you have a comment for someone, feel free to send them a pm).

• 2. DO NOT SPAM. Post your ad once. If it falls off the page and you would like to bump it, that's fine as long as you have new work to show. DO NOT bump your thread if you aren't showing any *NEW* work. DO NOT make multiple posts for the same job or for yourself.

• 3. Only post if you plan to pay! Things like "if we get a publisher...you'll get paid" need to stay in the Requests forum. If you can't pay up front, it doesn't belong here. Any posts violating this rule will be moved to Requests without warning.

• 4. NO FLAMING. Any and all posts that are considered unfit for a thread will be deleted by a moderator without warning. If you need your daily internet debate, get it elsewhere.

• 5. DO NOT reply to threads if you do not have a relevant question, ie: "What engine/software are you using?" "How long is the contract?" etc.

• 6. DO NOT reply simply to state that you've applied/sent an email. These sort of responses should be kept to the private message system if you really feel the need. Generally this is viewed as a bit unprofessional, so you may be better to refrain from doing this at all. If someone forgets to include an email address you should post and ask for one if you are interested.

• 7. DO NOT post images from your portfolio, or links to your portfolio in a company's threads. If you want to apply, you should email them directly with either a link to your portfolio, your portfolio attached, or PM them a link to your portfolio.

• 8. If you are a new user posting and do not see your thread, feel free to PM me(EarthQuake) and i will make sure it gets approved. We have an anti-spam filter in place to catch all the nonsense and viagra adds that somehow always seems to end up here. So please if you do not see your thread after posting, do not post multiple threads, just send me a PM.

• 9. Being part of an "Indie" team does not exempt you from the rules. If your project does not offer immediate pay, it belongs in the REQUESTS forum.

• 10. Please contact artists directly through PM or email(usually on their portfolio) if you have a potential job for them. Discussing work/payment details in a public forum is highly unprofessional.

BearKub, oh wow, thanks alot man! Your cool....

Kub, thank you very much.

I would suggest keeping the artist showcase or artist looking for work thing, seperate from the freelance job section. I don't think its a good thing to mix the two.

I agree with Anon - lets keep this for legitimate work offers.
We dont need to troll through "Lookit here, I Rock. Gimme some work"

Well, its okay for me, let freelance artists post their demo reels here.......keep it in one place. Delete artists thread that don't post a demo reels......

Just want to remind everyone about rules 5 and 6 above. Please send private messages if you are afraid your email to the possible employer didn't get through.

Thanks!

We should also adhere to a Title Naming Convention. So that groups looking for artist and artist looking for groups can clearly distinguish one another.


Hiring - group name - Full/part time - on site/remote - 2D/3D/4D - Flavor text


Groups would look like this:
Hiring - group name - Full/part time - on site/remote - 2D/3D/4D - Experienced Character, Vehicle, Weapon, Architecture, Environment artist, modeler, rigger, animator, est, for AAA production title!


Artists would look like this:
Available - Full/part time - on site/remote - soft/hard surface, Technical, animation, est...
