Matteo

Hii #PortfolioDay ✨!! I'm Matteo, a BG & Prop artist🌲☁️ looking for work in animation!! I'd love to work on site and able to relocate! If you like my art, share🫶✨!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for manga shading brushes (crosshatching, noise and such) for clip studio?? They’re so hard to find

@knocknocto This is so good😭🫰

@toby_m4ic3n4 The way you draw so many different pokemon designs so easily and so quickly too is crazy.

THE ULTRA BEAST: BUZZWOLE!!! 🪲🪲 ⭕⭕🦟🦟 😦 #JJK #POKEMON #mahoraga #buzzwole #Marshadow #MegumiFushiguro

@coldsteamart I can’t draw background paints… You do well!! Good luck!!

I’m a visual development artist, but I get so many emails from Japanese studios asking me to do genga, douga, nigen, layout work that it makes me feel sad. There are almost no positions for character design or visual development in Japan, so I end up doing work for the U.S. from here.

@toby_m4ic3n4 How are you so fast?!

HOW'D YOU KNOW? 🧠 🔥🔥🔥 #jjk #Pokemon #Typhlosion #Geto #Kenjaku

@_Kyou I’m moving to Tokyo too this summer!! ✨Can I ask how you reach out to studios there? Do you still need to have a degree to have a work visa?🫩

After graduating, I started looking for ANY regular job because“that’ll be easier than getting a game industry job” It was so hard to even get an interview I told myself “fuck that, if it’s gonna be that hard, I’ll work to be a character designer” Now I’m living in Tokyo

@iampaintbucket Looks really good!!

Guys new website!!!

@altades_art This is a list of what usually helps: - connections through uni/master - artists discord groups - art events - social media/portfolio (keep yourself a bit relevant so the connections that follow you don’t forget you) Applied to countless jobs online but that never worked for me

@altades_art I met some pros at an animation festival and was introduced by my ex professor, and 2 years later they asked if I was interested in their project. I started working pro bono for their indie studio for a few months(it looks good on the cv). Now I’m working for them.

Actual advice I need as an artist is how do you break into the industry and monetize your art when you don't have professional education or connections🥲

@Tjj70Jones @12kissco What I and the OP are pointing out is the disconnect of thinking that it’s Italy that enables you to do slow living, while it’s just that he can afford it. If he deserves it or not is not really part of the debate tbh.

@coldsteamart @12kissco I’d agree no “normal people” experience la dolce vita whatever country we’re in anymore. Harry is a grafter since 16 with little real, again, “normal” life experience & certainly not 9-5 yet strives to be kind & informed & works constantly at everything he does to be better.

the fact that harry knows about this tweet is killing me

@Tjj70Jones @12kissco But he’s not working a 9 to 5, and gets paid in pennies. He’s on holiday effectively. His reality is not Italian, but more like of a tourist. It bothers me when they present this perfect image of my country when it couldn’t be farther from the truth. La dolce vita is not real.

@coldsteamart @12kissco He’s been working since before he was 16 and still in school - let the man have his coffee - and celebrity means never having a day off however wealthy they are.

@bootlegwhale The only thing that worked for me was making genuine connections, going for a lunch or something, with ppl who were passionate about animation. And when they made their studio, they contacted me.

@coldsteamart good luck! hopefully you’ll find a job after you come back 🤞 i’m trying to work on my portfolio and apply to any job but same boat, it’s hard times for the industry and it sucks extra hard if you’re a nobody like me rip kkkkkkkkkk

art twitter discourse about “how to get more traction/likes” is always so funny to me lol. always the same, never change

@bootlegwhale Add to that that I’ll be in Japan 6 months so won’t be drawing probably in that period… I have no idea if I’ll ever get another job😭

@bootlegwhale Same here in Italy. There are some, and they also do great work for IPs of different countries, but they exploit you like crazy. For now I’m in a indie studio that I love, but I have no idea what I’ll do once my contract ends..
