Hi, I'm currently doing games design in college and was thinking of progressing into games art. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what the course is like and if it's good.

I would also like advice on what to include in my portfolio. Do I need to have alot of 2d art or is experience in 3d modelling along side some concept drawings enough? Furthermore, is it good to have game prototypes/ demos too or is that unnesacery?

What level of skill do people tend to start with?

Also what are the differences between games art, and games art and design?

Thank you for any advice

I havent made any friends cuz it feels like everyone already has their people 😭
if anyone wants to chill together like grab somethin to eat or walk around campus idm
im studying IT but i rly love creative typa stuff

I’m a first year sixth former who wants to apply for the 3d game art and design course when the time comes, can anyone who teaches or currently is in this course have any fundamental advice or suggestions on what I need to add in my portfolio? I have heard this program is extremely hard to get into due to the sheer number of applicants per year.
