Bored....What to do?

The life of a freelancer (or anyone in this industry really) is an unpredictable one, you’re always on the lookout for jobs but there’s no guarantee you’ll find any and if you do there’s no guarantee you’ll get it. So when there’s nothing to do…what do you do?

Make stock images other stuff for selling! That way you’ll grow as an artist and you’ll have more artistic freedom plus you’ll make some bux! And you’ll get more stuff for your portfolio :smiley: it all adds up!

Hit me up on GMail and we can discuss it, you have my info. Throw together a couple of penciled concepts which capture colorful and fun gameplay. If any are good, we can work something out.

GraphicRiver.net is my fave, I love all the Envato marketplaces. If you’re competent at WordPress theming or designing static photoshop website templates you could do ThemeForest too.

I’ve been considering selling in the asset store but reading through how to do it broke my brain.

It can be anything, a series of buttons, wallpapers/backgrounds, icons, what have you. Honestly, you never know what people may need.

How about making some nice GUI skins? GUI skins aren’t hard to create, but are time consuming and require an artistic eye to do nicely. Would love to see a series of GUI skins for different genres, ie. cartoon, high tech, rusty/grunge, etc.

BTW happy Canada Day! :slight_smile:

That is a very useful niche on the asset store that is surprisingly untapped. Maybe i’ll do that; being a web designer, I love GUI. I would however be furious if the new GUI system made my work obsolete, though. I imagine 3.5 is quite a ways away, though.

I’ve tried freelancer and I’m not fond of it, it feels so much more competitive than the unity forums.
