I've searched the forum so forgive me if this has already been discussed...
Like many people on these forums I am a freelance artist, trying to make a living doing art for people's games. The best way I've found to advertise my services is through the Portfolio forums here and at PixelJoint. Are there any other websites I could get some interest for 2D & pixel art?
As I am getting more experienced I am having to adjust my rates to my skill level. I've found my lower end "professional" rates are at that awkward spot where they are too high for most interested parties but I am not seeing a large amount of more established/higher budgeted jobs that could afford professional rates. Do I need to be pursuing salary positions with game companies at this point or is there still hope for freelance work?
Any other words of guidance or past experiences from the professionals would be really helpful for all aspiring and current pixel artists!
